MTM Graph & In-App Trading Journal

Trading
1

It would be great if Zerodha could introduce the following features to enhance the trader experience:

  1. 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.
  1. 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.

Hi Team,

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.

Thanks

What can be inferred about it and how it will impact user decision?

Will do something on this.

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!

I am trying to build a trading journal - TradeKhata - https://www.usetradekhata.com/

Would you mind sharing features you need that would help to take the direction of the product?

No demo account to see what exactly you are offering, No walk through videos
But early bird money is being collected, i see all red flags for a scam

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.

Personally no lot of other similar products already there https://www.tradetalez.com/

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.

Thank you!
