I am not asking for flashy features or complex tools. I am asking for the single most basic requirement in trading: when I enter a trade or look at my open position, I just want to set a Target and a Stop-Loss in one place.
Whenever I read through this forum to see why Kite still doesn’t have this, every thread ends the exact same way:
* Lectures on Technical Difficulties and the Past: Instead of a solution, traders get long explanations about why Bracket Orders were discontinued back in 2020 and why building this is “technically difficult.” Traders in 2026 don’t want a history lesson—we just want a simple way to protect our capital.
* The GTT Headache: Whenever someone asks how to set a Target and Stop-Loss, the standard reply is to “use GTT.” Frankly, GTT is a confusing, clunky headache that adds unnecessary friction when you are in a live trade. Worse, it doesn’t even work for intraday (MIS) positions, where the reply for the last six years has been “we are working on it.”
Other brokers have already solved this effortlessly on the front end:
* Right from an open position—or while entering a trade—you tap once and set both your Stop-Loss and Target on a single, clean screen.
* On the chart, you simply drag your Target and Stop-Loss lines straight out of your open position.
* When you exit the trade, both the pending Target and Stop-Loss cancel automatically.
It really is that simple on the front end. There is no confusion, no jumping between separate GTT tabs, and no babysitting pending orders.
If newer platforms can make setting a position-linked Target and Stop-Loss this effortless, why hasn’t the biggest broker in the country done it in six years?
A straightforward question to the team—without lectures on technical challenges or links to GTT help articles: When will Kite give us a simple, direct button on our open positions to set both a Target and a Stop-Loss across MIS and NRML?
