@VINNI_VINODH

Any updates on native option chain?

We are doing internal testing, this should be out in coming weeks.

@OmCar

I hope at least these 3 switches can be vertically aligned.

Can you please elaborate a bit on this.

[siva]

@BIR

If you are making easier in order placement then why not you give auto slices iceberg order in Regular tab all other broker give auto slices iceberg in Regular tab then why you give so difficult option like how many legs in iceberg order all the times go in calculating how many legs we put our to much time go for basket so changing the order windows is good but please integrate auto slices iceberg in Regular tab so anyone who place big quantity so the system auto slice and send to exchange

Point noted, will check with our team if it is already in to do list , if not will get this added.

NOT questioning the love part. I hope at least these 3 switches can be vertically aligned.

Hmm… they are not vertically aligned.

@Arockiya_Raja, can you check on this?

@aashutoshg2007

@nithin can you bifurcates long term and short term holding under portfolio and also in the short term holding, can you add one column that calculates:- "no. Of days to long term " sorting as per LIFO method.

LIFO isn’t going to be possible. That said, we are working on a secondary demat account where you can keep long term holdings that you don’t intend to sell. Transfer from primary to secondary.

@nithin Is it possible to get access to a demo web server to test WebSocket and the Kite API before committing to a subscription? This would help us to avoid any time lost after subscribing.
The server data can be from any date of your choice.

Ya please incorporate auto slice iceberg order in regular tab feature is very useful and necessary for many people

Hello!
Your product interface, simplicity and usability is one of the best. No doubt about it. even the console section for reports is quite good. But, I think the team needs to be more realistic about feature timelines and whether they will implement it at all or not.

For instance, i for one have repeatedly posted about trade wise charges report. Every FY end it’s a pain to compile the taxes and charges. The summary tax reports may not suffice the need; many times only raw data helps. And it’s impractical to raise a request everytime this report is needed.

It’s a years old issue and the only response here in the forum’s has been ‘…it’s on the to do list…’.
I suggest the team should highlight if it has been deprioritized due to technical issues or other reasons.

Secondly, one feature request I would like to place is about virtual portfolios. Tags is a way to do this but currently it’s only relevant in the Console section. Pls consider and evaluate this. It will remove any reasons people may have to open multiple broker accounts to track short term, long term, different strategies portfolios!

Edit: one more feature request - watchlist export and import; and watchlist sync between desktop and mobile.
This should be simple to implement and keep users on your platform rather than jump to different charting platforms.

Thanks and cheers

In my opinion, this is best served by using multiple brokers. The tax reports will also be completely different for each of your broker, simplifying it a lot.

[Piyush3]

Yeah, my suggestion caters only to tracking needs. Small to mid sized traders may have multiple positions that they want to track in different buckets. I have found this feature on the IBKR desktop trading app in a slightly convoluted manner but it’s immensely helpful to keep sanity in a volatile market.

Asked you long time ago… You replied like “Politicians Promise” and is silent…

Hello @nithin & Team Zerodha,

I am a fan of Karthik Rangappa & team for varsity.

Currently in Kite Platform

• The Price Action (i.e Candle Stick formation) is on Right Side
• Market Depth & Positions is on Left side

A Day Trader relies on Price Action for a day & makes his quick decisions based on chart, sometimes relying on 1 minute chart too.

Thus, it would be convenient if the the Market Depth & Positions is placed on Right Side or user is given choice where he desires to keep it (Left or Right), while Trading with chart.

Note: Initially when I first saw “Market Depth & Positions in Chart” , I thought I was seeing A Full Service Broker’s chart (who doesn’t have forum such as this or even respect feedback).

@Meher_Smaran

Bouncing this off to team. Thanks for the feedback

@TheGouda tradewise charges when is it expected?

Yep, at work.

Hmmm… Can’t really change the design.

The Coin web earlier had displayed P/L for every transaction for any given MF.
I got a reply that this feature will be back soon. Is there any ETA ?
I can see the P/L from the mobile app, I can’t understand why this feature was discontinued from web in the first place, but continues to be supported in app only ?

Is Zerodha actively trying to become the largest broker in terms of active clients, after it has lost to companies like Groww ? And it appears Angel One looks to displace Zerodha for the second position in the next few months ?

This is on our to-do list, but it’ll take some time to go live.

We don’t look only at user growth. It is more in terms of revenue and profitability. We are way ahead of the two brokers you have mentioned here concerning that. But that said, the user growth seems to be because of content and SEO strategy. We have upped our game significantly and for sure had let go of the advantage.

[Neelesh]

@sriramnpkt this is now live on web, please check the transaction history in your holdings.
