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 […]

Traders need margin to take and maintain positions. Instead of keeping large amounts of cash idle, many use their existing holdings as collateral to get margin. Until now, the margin from pledging was credited only on the next trading day. That one-day delay often became a problem when margin was needed immediately, whether to adjust […]

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 an active trader, you know how quickly your positions list can get cluttered. Different stocks, expiries, and long or short positions, all mixed, can make it hard to see what’s really happening. To make this easier, we’ve added a feature to group and filter positions, which lets you organise your positions just the […]

If you trade F&O strategies with multiple legs, you know how time-consuming it can be to set up multiple positions. Every order must be placed separately, with the product type, order type, and quantity filled in each time. And when markets are moving fast, that’s valuable time lost. That’s why we’ve added a new feature […]

Investment and trading platforms are extremely complex systems. From interfacing with exchange systems via leased lines to numerous systems running on public cloud and physical data centres spread across regions, the real-time complexity and risks are massive. A technical issue anywhere in this chain can cascade and cause disruptions. To mitigate such possibilities, we have […]

When trading options, one of the most important tools you can use is the option chain. It provides a complete view of all available option contracts for a stock or an index, showing key details like strike prices, premiums, open interest, option greeks, and more.

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. Traders today have multiple requirements, such as placing large orders without revealing their order size or intent, setting up long-standing orders that work months later, and executing complex strategies that involve taking multiple positions. Which is why we have built advanced order on Kite to […]

We often hear stories of people stumbling upon old share certificates tucked away in cupboards or piles of documents—sometimes worth lakhs. However, the initial excitement usually gives way to a common question: What should I do with these? There was a time when owning shares meant holding actual paper certificates with your name on them. […]

Kite and Coin are two of our primary transaction platforms. Kite is designed for active traders, while Coin is meant for long-term investors who invest in mutual funds.
