This seems a bit useless if it hides everything. At that point, just don’t open kite.
I think if you show only gain % but not the absolute numbers, that would be a great privacy mode. I like to compare gains with my friends but don’t want to show them the amount of money I have invested. Usually I end up taking a screenshot and blackout the money part. Leave the % gains unhidden on privacy mode.

Same. I would like that for trading and positions page. Instead of showing absolute value, show % value calculated according to that days opening margin. This will even help me stay in profitable trades for longer.

This is noted, and we will get it addressed.

This might not completely provide privacy.
For instance, if someone’s overall investment is at a 90% loss, they may not want to show this even with privacy mode on. In this situation, even though the amount invested is hidden, the percentage change still reveals some meaningful information.

Thank you for providing your feedback. It appears to be somewhat subjective, but we will discuss it.

Yep, hiding everything is pointless

Bro if you don’t want to see anything, then just don’t open the app.
Also if your investment is 90% down, then maybe it does need attention.

Maybe this can 👇solve the disagreements… won’t it ?

U can hide everything, but with a reveal icon, ppl can choose to reveal parts of their portfolio (like the % gain), if they choose to, without compromising on the privacy aspect. As the reveal would be a voluntary act.
This can be the middle ground, which can satisfy all.

Totally agree we can see zerodha not doing any type of innovation they are trying to copy other platforms and catch up by giving similar type of feature, other hand dhan give to much inovation started setting benchmark in product development and zerodha huge team only waiting for glitch. When glitch comes their huge team come from their sleep to give explainstion 😅 @nithin @Arockiya_Raja @siva

Zerodha big team they have to much profit by clients and then also not able to provide a basic option chain feature in last 6 months so the what’s is the zerodha capacity is we can see 😀 if not able to provide basic thing to integrate then I don’t think they will give TFC by next year’s end. , @Arockiya_Raja @siva @nithin

Wouldn’t this add too many icons to the screen and make it cluttered? We will evaluate this based on the number of users using the feature and feedback. Thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, assuming we are giving the reveal option for each hidden value.
For now, as a trial, since most seem to want to reveal the % gains, we can just add a reveal icon for that.
Since the invested amount is not revealed, showing the % gains will not reveal the size of the portfolio, but only it’s performance.

I would love it if I could see my percent gain/loss in the positions tab instead of absolute value. As my capital has grown to 35L+, the absolute number causes me to deviate from the system and take wrong decisions. If most things were hidden and I could only see the MTM as percentage gain/loss, it would be helpful.

HI @Arockiya_Raja , can you consider this? Even I want just % number (even in privacy mode). It is good to ignore absolute changes since capital keeps changing.
Also, what is the point of hiding day change of a stock, it is public info.
Privacy mode in my opinion should just hide size of portfolio and invested amounts. Please show days P&L in percentage figures, it does not decrease the privacy since no stocks or invested amount is revealed.

I understand, but we got requests to hide everything also, few just want to block only quantity, few only invested and current values and want to show % of profit etc, my point is there are too many customization hence we blocked all if someone really want it to be in private mode.

It will literally be perfect if they just did this. But they won’t do it.
And Siva saying everyone wanted different things so we hid everything. What’s even the point then. I have literally not used it once since it launched and I don’t think many people are using it either. Why would I open the app if I wanted to hide everything. Is it intended to be like a 2nd tradingview for just charts.
If you can’t add it in privacy mode then just add another setting which shows us % value instead of absolute value in the main page where MTM is shown.
