For God’s sake please review this product design. This has costed lakhs of rupees & I feel many are suffering the same. Without trying to get user feedback how such crucial changes got implemented, I wonder.
It shows the Qty also, see below the box. This feature of remembering the last state has been live for more than a year, and is extremely popular feature among customers.
I wanted to highlight two major issues when quick action is required for a trader
Default placement of number 1 in the box at beginning. It can create wrong lot size which trader may not be intending for.
The state of the overlay is is stored at watchlist page level. A trader may want to trade small qty in commodity whereas can go higher in index equity. So there can be a chance the trader may forget to switch.
Also if we see Regulator intention, Trade less & which you/Zerodha vouch for !! So why not to default it with Qty instead of Lot. Like every time it opens it open with lowest possible qty
Please understand I am talking about. a rush situation & to avoid Fat Finger errors.
This UI has given everything what is required. I am not saying its wrong, but it can be one step ahead always, by thinking Trader’s perspective. I believe you definitely would like to discuss this in your inner circle.
Order window will show according to what is used last time for that particular underlying for fno segment, in case for commodities if last placed order is for two lots then next time for that contract it will be open with 2 as default, for nifty last placed order is 5 lots then next time it will open with 5 lots etc, you can check once.
It seems even after posting detail video, you didn’t understood the actual issue or may be I couldn’t explain you.
Point 1 - Default number coming which can create error
Point 2 - I know last state is saved, Even @nithin replied the same. But that is the exact problem. In hurry trader might overlook between Lot & Qty which can lead to over positioning, calling additional risk leading to account blow off. This is as simple. Anyhow its person to person matters how it’s perceived.
Unless user change to lots it would never change but understood that user can accidentally change it on frontend, if order is splitting we show nudge also as secondary alert to avoid these kinds, said that let me pass this to our team to check if we can do something about this.
