It would be great if Zerodha could introduce the following features to enhance the trader experience:
MTM Graph in Positions Screen
A real-time MTM chart that tracks profit/loss movement during the day.
This helps visualize intra-day drawdowns and decision points clearly.
Built-in Trading Journal (like TradeZella or TraderSync)
A dashboard that auto-records trades with metrics like
* Win rate, RR ratio, average P&L, expectancy, holding time
* Charts showing trade entry/exit points
* Trade tagging and notes section
Helps traders analyze performance and improve their edge.
These additions will bring more data-driven insight to retail traders without needing to depend on 3rd party platforms.
Sounds like a cool feature but we don’t see it adding any real value in taking decisions, so we may not do this.
We have few of the points in to do list, also currently one can use tagging on console, check this for equity. Also notes feature is available on market watch itself, click on 3 dots one should get option for notes.
The MTM graph is a useful tool for tracking drawdowns. For example, if a trade peaks at ₹30,000 and later drops to ₹18,000, the graph visually highlights this decline, something that might be overlooked without it.
Regarding the journal feature, while tags are helpful, they aren’t comprehensive. If you could build a robust journal system that syncs with the Kite order book and automatically calculates key trading metrics, it would add significant value. This way, we wouldn’t need to rely on third-party platforms.
Regarding your question, the user would have choice to protect profits. If say i earn 2% roi i could keep sl at 1.5%. Drawdown is a key metric for traders!
Hey, I am sorry you feel that way. But there is a free waitlist, I am actually trying to get a gist of understanding. I do not expect anyone to pay yet or even after the product is ready for few months. But wanted to understand if its worth pursuing the idea of an automated trading journal.
Do you think its a market that can be pursued for INR 2k a month for the application? I am actively working the coding implementation part as we speak.
Ah okay. Actually, tradetalez has stopped new user signups for some reason. Not sure. But do you think is there any market here for trade journaling in India?
@J_R_Dinesh - Your feedback made sense regarding accepting payments. I removed the payment option, and moved the waitlist to have an option for early bird lifetime.
For anyone landing on this thread — while Zerodha builds this natively, most of what Risk.Reward.Trader described already exists in third-party apps built specifically for Indian traders.
I use EdgeLog (Android app) which covers everything in the original post: win rate, RR ratio, expectancy, average holding time, trade tagging, notes, equity curve, and drawdown. It imports directly from Zerodha via the Excel tradebook export — takes about 30 seconds to pull in months of trades.
The MTM graph during the day is the one thing no third-party journal can do without broker API access — that would genuinely require Zerodha to build it or open an API for it. Everything else on the list is solvable today without waiting for Zerodha.
Worth trying while the native feature is in the roadmap.
Zerodha has some of this in the roadmap but the MTM graph likely won’t happen, and the analytics features are still pending.
For anyone who doesn’t want to wait: the journal analytics part (win rate, RR, expectancy, holding time, equity curve, drawdown, trade tagging) already exists in EdgeLog — an Android app built specifically for Indian retail traders. It imports from Zerodha’s Excel tradebook export directly, so there’s no manual entry.
Risk.Reward.Trader is right that a native Kite integration with order book sync would be cleaner. But that requires Zerodha to open an API for it. Until then, the Excel import gets you 90% of the way there in about 30 seconds.
The one thing no third-party can do is the real-time MTM graph during market hours — that genuinely needs broker-side access to live positions. Everything else is available today without waiting.
