please switch back to the old interface. I cannot react timely with this interface.

Also please put any new changes first in beta or optional to gain user reviews.

If you are going for aesthetics then you are doing counterproductive service to your customers who require functions over beauty.

going flip flop will result in loosing your old clients. WARNING

You could better this from earlier, by making this a) click anywhere on the position b) provide shortkeys. Hard to believe this basic feature of short key is missing.

Also, this change should be quick !

We’ve made some tweaks to improve the experience.

  • Clicking on the trading symbol in the positions page now directly opens the exit order window while clicking elsewhere in the row allows you to select positions for multiple exits.

  • We’ve also increased the width of the dropdown menu and simplified it to show only two buttons at the top for easier access.

  • The options button does not open drop-down when hovered over; the menu only opens when clicked.

A shortcut key for exiting positions is available, but some improvements are needed for efficiency. To open the exit order window, simply select a position and click the delete button. The focus is lost after placing an order, making it inconvenient, and we are working to address this in the coming weeks

Thank you @Arockiya_Raja . Though minor, these look like positive changes.

But may I tell you the main issue still remaining: The ellipses menu being on the right side is just wrong and makes position adjustments error-prone. In the last few days, I have selected wrong rows so many times, because by the time your eyes move from the scrip name to the ellipses, it is easy to move to a row above or lower and click on the wrong row.

So, kindly give it a thought to make the ellipses menu right next to scrip name.

thanks

Personally felt that the previous iteration was one of the few positive changes, as it saved you a click while exiting/adding positions…

I dont think it solve the other half of the issue of adding more position. please have dedicated button or shortcut of it too. also it has become worse as to add position we need to now go so extreme right on the page

Why don’t you add a menu on clicking the symbol to have both option of add or exit.
it increases one step for the exit but then balances it with functionality to add.
PS. have the button of add and exit in different colours.

@Arockiya_Raja Can the menu button on the positions page be shifted from extreme right to extreme left, before the ticker symbol on positions page? That would be easy accessing.

Guys this UI change in position page is doing more harm than good. Lost money bcz of the changes. Keeping it in extreme right is very confusing and i clicked wrong position and closed it. why do u keep changing the UI for ur own sake?

Pls revert back to the original center button. There are lot of other improvements needed in Zerodha. Pls do that instead of this. Pls pls revert back to the original stuff.

  1. The positions page and order page is separate which is very inconvenient. It would be better if v can see pending orders from positions page itself.
  2. Need grouping like baskets in holdings segment. Like to group short term and long term holdings. Why should i see all the long term holdings daily? does it make sense?
  3. If v have large quantities, exiting all at once is not possible. Then exit all button is of no use.
  4. Try to invent new things which other brokers have and which benefits ur customers rather than just moving things here and there and releasing it as updates. It doesnt make sense. It’s not improvement, its deprovement.

This suggestions we are asking for many days, but its not done. See people like zerodha bcz of its simplicity and ease of use. Ur making it complicated now bcz we are adapt to use it for several long years. How are we suppossed to change this so fast, we lose opportunity. Try to understand.

Agree. Exit button should auto-slice the orders.

Currently it doesn’t work because Iceberg option can only be selected for one leg; and Iceberg doesn’t place market orders for option [not sure why]. If I want to exit >1 legs at once, only option is basket order which isn’t quick at all; and can’t be created directly be selecting multiple legs from Positions page.

I today exited via Iceberg instead of pre-created Basker order. The result was 50 thousand rupees lost in slippage.

Exactly, when there are many positions, checking which one we’ve selected requires a lot of eye movement from the extreme right to the extreme left.

Thanks for your feedback. It has its merits in terms of accessibility but drop-down will hide other content. We aim to balance between ease of access and maintaining a clean, consistent interface for all users.

It is not feasible to have two menus in different locations as it will create clutter. There will still be requests from those who want to add a conversion option.

Got it. Appreciate your time taken out to reply.

If you have been using our platform for a long time, you know that we don’t make frequent updates to the UI, some enhancements are necessary to ensure the platform continues to improve and remains user-friendly. These updates are designed with long-term benefits in mind, keeping the interface clean and convenient.

To help with the transition, we’ve increased the highlight shadow for selected positions, and we’ll further optimize the menu in the order book and holdings sections over the next week or two for consistency across the platform.

We understand that adapting to changes can take time, once the updates are fully implemented across all sections in the coming weeks, we believe you’ll notice the positive impact. Over the years, it’s crucial that users experience an evolving and improving platform, rather than an interface that hasn’t been updated in over a decade.

On our to-do list.

I will check about this.
