Trailing Stoploss (TSL) was one of the most requested features from our clients, and it is now available for GTT orders on Kite Web. A normal stop loss stays fixed at the price you set. That works when you enter a trade, but it can become a problem if the trade moves in your favour. […]

Even today, a large part of household savings in India sits in fixed deposits. The appeal is simple, predictable returns, no market volatility, and very little to manage once you’ve invested. But that simplicity doesn’t scale well. Once you have FDs across multiple banks, rates are scattered, processes differ, and tracking maturity dates and interest becomes […]
Most trading platforms look the same for everyone. The same layout, the same widgets, and the same workflow, whether you place one trade a month or fifty trades a day. But each trader works differently. Some prefer having charts and the order window side by side; others track multiple watchlists and the option chain simultaneously, […]
Most of us learned how to save money long before we learned what a mutual fund was. As kids, we saved small amounts of money in a piggy bank. There was no plan, no minimum amount, and no expectation of returns. We added whatever we could: ₹2, ₹5, and sometimes ₹10. Not because we were […]
Trading commodity futures and options involves more moving parts than equity derivatives. In equities, most contracts follow a common rulebook. In commodities, the rules change depending on what you’re trading, expiry dates, cut-off times, and even settlement methods can differ from one contract to another. Take Gold and Crude Oil as examples. Gold futures are […]
Most people think of taxes only when filing their Income Tax Return. But tax isn’t an annual event. It has to be paid as the income is earned, and that’s where advance tax comes in. With the deadline for the fourth installment of advance tax on March 15, 2026, this is a good time for […]
Trading apps rely on a chain of background services to connect you to our servers, including global networks like Cloudflare (powers approximately 20-25% of all internet traffic globally). While these networks make the internet faster and safer, they also mean that if a link in the chain breaks, access to the app can be blocked—even […]

Placing multiple orders one by one can be slow, especially when markets are moving quickly. Even a small delay is sometimes enough to miss a good price. If you’re buying several stocks at once or executing a multi-leg options strategy, entering each order separately can become a hurdle. Quick Baskets on the Kite web makes […]
We turned 15 on August 15, 2025. Firstly, about my stroke from last January, I have recovered about 90%. I still face some issues while speaking, with the inability to articulate all the thoughts that come to my mind. All my skill levels from reading, speaking, singing, playing the guitar, writing, etc., had gone down close […]
Our planet was once alive with abundance. Herds of herbivores thundered across vast grasslands, swamps echoed with the croaks of amphibians, and forests rang with the calls of primates swinging freely through the trees. Today, that richness is fading. We are living through the sixth mass extinction, a crisis unlike any before. Extinction itself is […]
We launched our loan against securities (LAS) product, Zerodha Capital, to help people avoid high-interest personal loans and credit card debt. Borrowing against your investments can be far more cost-effective, but many only realize how expensive unsecured credit is once they’re already paying for it. Since starting full-scale operations in 2023, we’ve steadily expanded LAS. […]
Every day brings market news, hot tips, and predictions that make us feel like we must act right away. Fear, greed, or even the thrill of a quick profit often push us into choices that hurt us in the long run. Impulsive investing is one of the biggest reasons many fail to build lasting wealth. […]
As a trader, filing your taxes is important whether you’ve made a profit or a loss. Many assume that if they’ve made losses, they don’t need to file—but that’s not true. Skipping it could still attract a notice from the Income Tax Department. We also know tax filing can feel complicated, which is why we’ve […]
Systematic Investment Plans, or SIPs, are built on one simple idea, consistency. By investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, SIPs average out your buying costs and allow compounding to work quietly in the background. But many investors lose these benefits by pausing instalments when markets fall or delaying them while waiting for the “right […]

Investment and trading platforms are extremely complex systems.

If you ever feel like the stock market is an overwhelming place, you’re not alone. Every day, we’re bombarded with information: “buy this stock,” “sell that one,” “this expert predicts a crash”.

When trading options, one of the most important tools you can use is the option chain.

One year ago, we launched a new YouTube channel called Markets by Zerodha (We know, a highly imaginative name). The first show we started on the channel was called The Daily Brief, a daily podcast where we simplified what we considered the 2-3 most interesting stories in finance, business, and the wider economy. We felt […]
The Indian F&O market has grown significantly over the past five years, and this has triggered various market reactions. In November 2024, SEBI implemented a range of measures targeted at reducing market volatility, especially from daily index expiries—including limiting weekly expiries to only Nifty and Sensex contracts, increasing the lot size from 5-10L to 15-20L, […]
Trading involves much more than just buying and selling stocks.
