I truly appreciate the seamless trading experience that Zerodha offers. However, as an active trader, I would like to request certain enhancements that can make the platform more efficient for scalping—similar to what brokers like Dhan provide.
For scalping, speed, execution efficiency, and risk management are critical. I request the following features to improve the scalping experience:
1. Dedicated Scalping Terminal – A lightweight, high-speed scalping terminal optimized for ultra-fast order execution with minimal latency.
2. Trailing Stop-Loss (TSL) for Options & Equity – A built-in TSL feature to manage risk dynamically without manual intervention.
3. Faster Order Execution – Reduced lag and instant order placement to avoid slippage.
4. One-Click Entry & Exit – Quick execution buttons for faster trade management without confirmation delays.
5. Customizable Hotkeys – Assignable shortcuts for instant buy, sell, modify, and exit actions.
6. Market Depth & Order Flow Enhancements – More detailed order book visibility for better decision-making.
7. Advanced Charting with Trade Execution – Ability to place and modify trades directly from charts with advanced features.
A dedicated Scalping Terminal with these features will significantly improve the trading experience, making Zerodha more competitive against brokers who already offer such functionalities. I hope you consider these suggestions, and I look forward to your response.
More details means how FYERS and Dhan developed their scalping terminal for better scalping performance.
We need these types of features from zerodha.
