User Settings – Pi

March 17, 2015

Traders,

For User Settings, use the shortcut key Ctrl+P or just click on View -> User Settings.

General

On General settings, you have an option to choose how long each session is valid for, after which the program automatically locks itself to avoid any kind of security breach. You can Reconcile from this window or use the shortcut key Ctrl+R to get all your orders/trades if there was a disconnection.You can leave both these boxes unchecked. By default Admin Positions for NFO and BFO are viewed in Quantity, not in lots. If you own one lot of Nifty, you’ll see it as 25. We recommend you keep it like this but you can change to view in Lots.

General

Sound Alerts

You can untick these boxes if you don’t need sound notifications.

Market Watch

Initiating/Saving charts in your workspace will happen automatically if you tick these boxes. When you load a workspace or start Pi, the charts previously saved as part of you workspace also open up. It is preferable to keep this unticked as the login process might get slowed down if you have a chart with large amounts of historical data saved.

Market Watch

Market Indices

This window allows you to load various indices for tracking on Pi’s “always on top” floating index bar. This index bar can be invoked or hidden by using Ctrl+M as a shortcut.

Order Window

We have given you an option on Pi to remove the transaction password requirement before placing an order. There is an option to set/remove the order confirmation window also. You can decide what your default order type and product type is on this window.

Order Window

Order Window

Chart settings

This window allows you to select various chart tools and styles. There is also an option for changing the style of the toolbar – Fixed and Floating. The Floating tool bar appears locally on every chart whereas a fixed tool bar is fixed and global for all charts. Also there is an option to change the colour and thickness of the horizontal and vertical lines that appear in the chart.

    Dear Nithin,
    After I hv started using Zerodha as a platform for trading, Life has become very simple. All thanks to you and your team.
    I got my system formatted last Feb due to some issues and thus PI had to be removed.
    Just at the start of this month, I downloaded PI again as I was in search of some way in which I can fetch LIVE DATA into Excel as I am working on something.
    But it doesnt show up anything in the dropdown lists and thus not able to see anything. Although I can see all the Options from left to right above but nothing in the dropdown lists.Thus I am not able to even form Watchlists too.
    Pls help.

      same problem trying from last one year not solved.i am also client of zerodha,my nse account barred thats it happening or how please reply.

  3. JZ4**9 says:

    All the entries in the excel file are #N/A after using link to excel option in Pi. it is opening the excel file with the formulas like =RTD(“pi.rtdserver”, ,”NFO_BANKNIFTY2111432000CE”, “PrevClose”), the value is displayed as #N/A.
    I have tried solutions provided over the blogs like the following:
    1) copy ExcelDataStream.dll file from pi folder and paste in Microsoft office folder
    1. open the run the cmd (command prompt) from the start menu as admin
    2. run the below commands one by one
    cd “%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0*”

    regasm C:\Zerodha\Pi\ExcelDataStream.dll

    None of these worked.
    I’m using Microsoft office home and student 2019 on Windows 10

    Hi,I am Unable to see any symbol /Chart.Please Help In this Issue.

  5. Suresh says:

    Zerodha pi has to be upgraded to 32 bit as well as in 64 bit excel version as Microsoft has changed its default download to 64 bit from 32 bit.

  6. pankaj says:

    Please add custom time frame as soon as possible both on PI and KITE.
    If custom is not possible soon, at least add 75 min time frame.
    I came to know that Zerodha customer support is very prompt. Hope you will bring this feature too.

    Some other features:
    1. Multiple chart time frame sync. e.g. – if i open chart for SBIN and in different window I set different time frames (1D, 1W,1M ). Now, is I chage scrip name in one window it must reflect in other also.
    2. Tool box has too many tools. If you provide favorite tool quick access, it will be a advantage.(like you have in KITE TradingView).
    3. Add Horizontal/Vertical lines in toolbox. If possible give keyboard shortcuts too.

  7. Ganeah says:

    PI excel function work only older verson of excel (2010 and earlier) which is retired by Microsoft
    Zerodha needs to update it’s functionality which is out dated

  8. Ar says:

    In user settings – Market indices list (second box) not pop-ups for selecting scripts. so i could not add Bank Niftyfuture/option, sensex etc. in my PI market watch indices.
    Kindly look into the matter immediately to resolve this issue. I already created Ticket for this issue.
    Also, the contact numbers are only for recorded messages and no one is picking the phone. One one call, it will take at least minimum 4t minutes to get the call. very bad experience Kindly provide more contact numbers.

    Make some alterations in your software that simple preferences can be made by user.

  12. steffi says:

    In the Pi there is no status bar at bottom of charts to confirm if an order is executed or not (when the order is fired from chart itself) . Similar platform in other brokers has got that status bar..if possible same may be included in Pi also.

    I want to change the Market Indices that appear in small box which remain all the time on screen. I want to add BANK NIFTY to it. I tried in view> user settings> market indices. But there was no symbol for any other index in drop down list of NSE. Can we really change that. or Sensex and Nifty are default ones. Grateful for such wonderful experience in Zerodha except for the above small glitch.

  17. Nisha S Singh says:

    There is no provision to change font size of Trade book, order book, Admin position etc in Pi.

    Font change option is there but it changes only MARKET WATCH fonts.
    PLEASE UPDATE PI. It still lacks lots of features required for intra day traders. Zerodha Please do the needful at the earliest

    I am using Pi for market watch, but unable to connect live excel through pi.kindly suggest.

      This would have happened because Pi is a 32-bit software and you have 64-bit Excel installed. Please install a 32-bit version of Excel to use with Pi.

  72. yograj says:

    HI Zerodha

    If i m not wrong there is no option available like Pre Defined order quantity.
    We should start providing pre defined order quantity in PI or Kite.
    You should modify such a way. It will be very helpfull for intraday equity trader like me to not calculate quantity every time before placing order
    like i want to trade abc stock cmp 325 and generally i trade with 1 lac rs in each so 100000 / 325 = 307 qty

    Thanks

  90. Utsav Lall says:

    Good morning team Zerodha. First off – Congratulations to Mr. Nithin Kamath and his brilliant team for completing 7 great years. Hats off!

    I’ve been using Zerodha Pi for almost a month now. I’ve to say it is one of the most advanced and powerful trading platform in market. However, to prove its worth it has to continuously improve and evolve. Here are a few pointers:-

    1. Unreliable candle charts – While using candlestick charts, sometimes the candles do not get plotted accurately. After reselecting the duration, (1M-5M-1M) the candles apprear correctly. There is minor but noticeable difference in candles OLHC. This is noticed more if the window is open for a longer timeframe and is more prominent on 1M charts. Adding an option to continuously refresh the charts may help.

    2. Default parameters in expert advisor – EAs are great. Alerts are decently accurate. But, there is no option to choose default order parameters of generated alerts from EAs. I know it can be done from Scripted Alerts but thats another case. Selecting Cover order in SAs do not work at all. That whole window needs to be reworked.

    3. Unreliable scripted alert and back testing – Backtesting is another awesome feature of Pi that needs more awesomeness. There is some serious issue with calculation when compared to SAs in realtime. Generated alerts from SAs and Backtesting of same script yeilds different trades and results do not match.

    4. Indicators need UI polishing – For an example compare Supertrend layout and styling in Kite and Pi. Which do you feel looks great? Obviously on Kite. Same goes for indicators with channels, zones and smooth trends. There is no option in Pi to adjust Yaxis range. Few useful indicators like ZigZag, Vortex, Alligator, etc are missing. *Can Kite and Pi get married and make a baby with has both great features? (Food for thought)*

    5. Lack of multi instance support – As of now, only one login per instance is allowed. I think it would be great if atleast two instances are allowed. One for computer and another for phone. Also there should be an option to choose whether to use two factor authentication or just simple login.

    6. Pi on whole – I love the multi window layout and customisable UI. Please provide a reliable way to keep backup configuration file which can restore customised settings on reinstalling or sharing with other users. Version information is incorrect. Downloaded and installed 1.0.0.6 but shows 1.0.0.0

    I hope this feedback helps in making Zerodha Pi the greatest of all. “Make some, save some, spend some, handsome.”

    Dear Nithin,

    There are some Sectoral Indices missing in pi, i could not add NIFTY Pharma, NIFTY Commodities, Energy.. and several other indices. Hope these will be on fast track. I am waiting since 2016 august.

    Would it be possible to add Wave Trend Oscillator to Kite?

    Best Wishes,
    Sai

    • Yeah, it has been on our list to do for a while, issue is exchange has a different way of streaming these indices. I will speak to our team. Wave trend oscillator, hmm.. let me check.

    Hi All,

    I am new to Zerodha.

    I installed PI but not able to login to it even once, it goes into “not responding’ mode after I ans security questions.I got port 64000 and 65000 enabled from my ISP Hathway as suggested by zerodha team.

    Need help in getting Pi runing.

    Thanks

        Your team called they are not able to provide solution to the problem.

        They are still blaming port to be the reason of problem, I am sure all users of Pi including other Hathway user will not be aware of port 64000 and 65000.

        I am getting frustrated with the scripted response I am getting from the technical team.

    pls help., Thanks

      1. Goto->view->user setting->market watch->select save layout on exit->apply->ok.

    Hi…

    I am very happy with the Pi platform, but i have been facing these issues mentioned below….. Would really appreciate a suitable solution.

    1) Pi keeping sending a pop of ” unexceptional continuation handling issue”…. is this my system issue or is it with Pi…… My system is a new one with windows 10, 8 gb ram.

    2) The moment i try to edit a trend line , it disappears along with other trend-line previously drawn and i have to manually scroll back or scroll up and down to get it back….

    Uday

  111. SHRI PRAKASH MAMGAIN says:

    Dont feel very elated on PI. Have you worked on Java based charting software of Options Express. So very smooth . You can open charts very fast.
    PI, very difficult to work for fast trading.
    If you open additional Marketwatch there are 100% chances that it will hang after some time.
    Charts open after a delay of 30 seconds.

    • siva says:

      We don’t have inhouse built charting library, it is third party product which we use and that is the reason we can’t customize much. Chart opening may take few seconds but not 30 sec as you mentioned, it also depend upon the data one is requesting for, internet speed, system configuration etc. You can write to [email protected] if still it is taking much time to open charts.

    Go to view->user setting->market watch-> save layout on exit. This will ensure the last used columns will be retained for next login. Also use exit option instead forcefully closing Pi.

    My settings dont show anywhere “save layout on exit”.

    Pi:
    1) Multiple Snap Quotes. Possible ?
    2) Any easy way to mark PDC, PDH, PDL, DO, DH, DL on charts in one go / automatically.
    3) Can’t delete ONE / specific drawing, have to delete ALL. Select & delete doesn’t work.
    4) Any chance of MP / OFA (even if paid) in future ?

    KITE:
    1) Looks too washed out / fonts too light / background too white. Tweaking monitor setting doesn’t work either, eye strains. At lest provide some options for colors / background / fonts. I am sure lots of traders must be liking how KITE looks but having an option to change the view won’t hurt.

    • algogeek says:

      1. Multiple snap quotes/ market depth is not available for now.
      2. you can plot or mark all the drawings available from chart tools on the chart and also can apply techinical indicators from study drop down and can save it as template, you can apply the template at one go by right clicking on the chart -> apply template
      3. you can select and delete one drawing or indicator using delete button.
      4. If your query is regards to market profile / Order flow analysis (MP/OFA) we are not providing current and we will pass to concerned team as feedback.

      In Kite if you want to increase font size you can by changing browser screen resolution, font colors can not be changed for now.

      • LifeWithPi says:

        My Q: 2) Any easy way to mark PDC, PDH, PDL, DO, DH, DL on charts in one go / automatically.

        Your Reply: 2. you can plot or mark all the drawings available from chart tools on the chart and also can apply techinical indicators from study drop down and can save it as template, you can apply the template at one go by right clicking on the chart -> apply template

        My response: How can one stock’s PDC PDH etc can be applied as a template to another stock, unless there is a built-in option like pivots etc. Not interested in indicators etc.

        If it can be done, How ?

        If there is no option, say so.

        • algogeek says:

          As drawings & Trend lines etc are plotted pointing on the specific charts & time frame, it applies to same scrip with same timeframe and it can not be applied to other scrip,
          Also marking lines on previous days OHLC or Days OHLC automatically is not possible on charts as there is no pre defined indicators for this.

  121. Ravinder kumar says:

    I have used this software for 1 hr, and here are the drawbacks
    1. Studies like moving averages, RSI, has to be added individually to each chart that we open, whereas it has to be fixed for every chart, and we shouldn’t be loading the same studies again and again for every chart we load and see.
    2. Make marker depth and buy and sell window in one, so that it’s simple and crisp, and not complex ( in this case, it needs to be clicked here and there to actual analyse and process the buy or sell order).

    • siva says:

      1. On both kite and Pi you can create template and can save it as default so that for any chart it can be applied. On kite after adding or deleting any indicator just wait for 60 sec to get it saved. Once saved the same will be automatically applied on any chart.You can write to [email protected] if you need any more help on this.
      2. You can use short cut keys to navigate through buy and sell options on kite. Use up arrow and down arrow to select particular scrip, B to invoke buy window S for sell window, can use ESC to switch between buy and sell options.

  122. Ravinder kumar says:

    Extremely cheap software, and can’t be trusted. I have been trying to login to PI from last one month and despite of entering the correct security answers and correct password (which I am putting in kite and logged in many times), I am not able to login. Lost the hope of trading with Zerodha, because kite is always lagging and not the exact real time platform, Thought should try PI, but no help. Please help Zerodha, 🙁

  123. Life with Pi says:

    Enabling Basic Pivots SHRINKS the chart/candles vertically.

    Changing 1M to 2M then back to 1M sets it right some times. (not to forget playing with the arrows to focus on the latest candle & thus wasting the time).

    ???

  124. Life with Pi says:

    In Pi:
    On changing duration of chart (5M to say 1M), the 1M chart gets focused on center of the chart.
    It should focus on the latest candle.
    As a result most of the time is spent playing with arrow key (right) to get to the latest candle!

    Is it so difficult to address ?
    Several request have been made in the past also to rectify this issue.

    BTW : Kite has no such issue & has an on screen button >> to do so in a single click.

    • Venu says:

      Can’t seem to replicate this issue, nonetheless will get the team to check. Meanwhile, clicking on the End button will take you to the end of the chart.

  125. Ankit says:

    Is it possible on Pi that people can create an environment where in they have their orderbook, Market watch,admin position & 3 charts(example) and can save that setup.

    whenever they want to check other stock they just select other script and load it into the environment and ppl can check its data instantaneously.

    what we have to do now is to open 3 separate charts select their timeline apply templates to them arrange them into our screen and then analysis, it takes a hell lot of time. If you are a day trader loosing time is nightmares.

    i hope you understand

    • siva says:

      Whatever you mentioned above can be applied on Pi, open any charts, set up orderbook,positions window etc as per your convenience and goto view->user setting ->market watch->select save charts on exit, select save layout on exit-> Apply->ok.
      Also one can create default template and the same will be applied on any new chart.

      • Ankit says:

        Thanks Siva, i can now save charts & layout on exit.
        My Suggestion was suppose we have 10 stock on our watchlist and i want 3 charts per stock for my analysis, now what i have to do is open 3 charts for every stock which is time consuming given the fact that a lot of manual work is required.

        what i want is, i select the stock click on it to plot the charts and all the 3 charts gets plotted with its previous setting(timeline & studies etc.).

    HI Zerodha Team,

    I want to know more info about “Link to Excel” feature, i want to read “Market depth” in excel using RTD functions. Right now i can read only Bid Size,Ask Size, Ask rate ..etc with the RTD functions. I hope Zerodha pi RTD Server supports “market Depth” values ( at least, 5 best bids, 5 best asks )as well. But i don’t know exact “topic” name for that like for reading Bid rate i use “=RTD(“pi.rtdserver”, ,”NSE_ACC-EQ”, “Bid”)” where “Bid” is the topic name. i want to know Zerodha RTD server supported topic list. Is there any link to the zeroda pi RTD server documentation?

    • algogeek says:

      RTD for best 5 bid & ask for a scrip is not available for now, we can look into that and will try to provide the same in future.

      • siddu says:

        Thanks for quick reply … Is there a document which says supported Topics by Pi RTD server ?

        • siddu says:

          And i think the “Link to Excel” feature needs good testing … I was trying to do Link to excel for predefined market watch of Nifty 50 Scripts .. but most of the time Zerodha Pi goes into “Not Responding” mode and freezes… I need to kill it and restart… I observed the Memory consumption(Ram) is keep on increasing when it hangs.

      you can use pi in multi monitors, select the active window and go to menu bar view -> pop-out active window
      and you can move the window to the next monitor. You can open as many separate windows as you want using this option.

    Hello. My question is about the Renko charts. I want a setting where the bars are consistently made irrespective of the number of days of data we pull it from. There are minor fluctuations in how the chart is displayed when we select different historical date ranges. Can we have a setting where we can specify where the bars need to start. Perhaps at prices like xxx.00 instead of random numbers likes xxx.44?

    For example, if I select the box size as 1, the box should be created perfectly between each rupee value. Like one box should start at price 99.00 and end at 100.00. Not some random thing like 99.23 and 100.23. Do you get my point?

    This is necessary for accuracy. Please help.

          Thanks in advance.

  154. Akhil says:

    July 18, 2016 Update disabled the option to pop out active market watch (MW); pop out window is working fine for charts/order book/admin position, etc., that are open. Popped out MW helps you track how your MW stocks are reacting, considering you can move it to a different screen while using multiple screens, at the same time keeping a watch on your individual stock charts that are open side by side in Pi main window. Not allowing the option to pop out MW leaves you with a smaller MW view when you are viewing multiple open charts side by side and one has to constantly scroll up and down the MW watch to check the LTP of MW Stocks.

    While using multiple screens, alternatively one can use pop outs for individual stock charts (just to get a full screen MW) but aligning them side by side on an external screen takes a lot of time and effort, which can otherwise be done effortlessly in Pi window by aligning top, left, right center, etc. So giving an option also to pop out an active MW makes sense when you are looking at multiple open charts side by side at the same time.

    So, please add the option to pop out active MW.

    Regards, Akhil.

When i take 1 min chart for 5 days and zoom, the chart gets zoomed in mid of the Chart. and at this stage its very painful to scroll to right side to see the latest candles. i have to hit the right arrow atleast 30-40 times ! or hold on to right arrow key. this is Very time consuming during trading hrs.
    >> Can you please have a automatic scroll to latest candles option? this feature is available in NEST
    there should be some way for easy scrolling

    2. Chart details are not properly stored or recorded. If i have 3 charts opened of different time spans say 1 day, 5 day and 10 day. after i close and reopen PI, all charts will have 10 day chart. I mean only the duration of last chart opened is remembered by PI.
    >> Each chart duration should be remembered individually .

    3. PI still needs a lot of Performance tests like load test, stess test, hangout recovery tests. am professional software testing engineer and i see none of such tests pass successfully on PI.
    If i open more than 10 charts or tabs PI starts to Hang or becomes non-responsive during trading hours !

    4. Multiple market watch is necessary. as of now if user has to see the market watch and also see couple of charts he should be really having a 15 inch screen to accommodate.

    Link to Excel is one of the best features of Zerodha trader if possible may kindly try to incorporate the same in Zerodha Pi as well.

  166. Sam says:

    Can we increase the font size of Market Indices (spot values) window and change colors from red/green to red/blue.

    • Venu says:

      If you’re talking about the Index Box, then I’m afraid you can’t change the size of the fonts.. The font size of the scrips on Marketwatch can be changed from the User setting window. Alternatively, you can also add the Indices on the marketwatch if you want to see them in bigger fonts.

    Hi Nithin

    I think that the Fibonacci Fan in Pi isn’t correct. There is a serious problem with creating the Fib Fan lines in Pi. Try making Fib Fan lines in Pi and you’ll see what i’m talking about.

  172. D Thulasee Ram says:

    Hi,

    Today I installed pi. I am not able to see any symbols. I can only see symbols related to MCX in Market watch.

    Is it due to some reason like UCC has to be approved before I can see the symbols related to NSE and NFO?

    Is it something like, the markets should be in open, I mean only during work day only in order to see these symbols?

    Or is it any issue with Pi installation?

    Regards,
    Thulasee Ram

    • If you are not seeing MCX, it means your commodity account is not yet open. Had you sent us a commodity account opening form along with the equity form when you opened an account?

    Hi Nithin,

    Good day,

    I want some readymade INDEX COMPOSITE workspace download file for PI. Like (SENSEX-30, NIFTY-50, NIFTY-JR, BANK NIFTY). Anything download link available for this related query.

    Thanks in Advance.

  178. Abhijit says:

    Hello Nitin,
    I went through the PI software and find it useful for trading. Just wish to bring to the notice 2 things which i felt uncomfortable with.

    1. In PI, indices window is very small, and there is no other way to increase the size of the window or change the font so it is almost impossible to see the changes in the indices and also we can’t fit the window in the tabs like the Nest trader hence, I am forced to use Nest trader rather than PI.

    2. Why the supertrend is not included in the indicator list? and when you are going to include it in it?

    Regards

    • 1. You can add the index directly on the marketwatch, instead of adding on the index box. Check the last image on this post on how to add index on marketwatch.
      2. Will come, still working on other things before adding indicators.

      • Abhijit says:

        Dear Nitin, Thanks for your reply. I am enclosing a screenshot of both softwares for your persual. As you can see it is almost impossible to notice the market movement in the Pi indices box. I have also included indices in the marketwatch as per your suggestion but again, it is easier to track the difference of the indices in numbers rather than percentage. ( for example :Nifty -20 is more easier to understand than Nifty down by 0.2% )

        So my humble suggestion is, like the Nest trader, the choice to change the font size, type of indices box should be given to the user in Pi too.

    Hello

    i just download Pi but i dont know how to make changes in shortcut keys like to make + as a buy order key etc.?

    is there any provision for that like NEST ?

  181. Arjun says:

    When i right click on any stock or commodity in the market watch and click on buy or sell nothing appears. Anything else on the right click works. Like charts for example or snap quote. Just order window doesnt appear. Checked the box in user settings also.

  182. vivek kumar says:

    Dear, Nithin

    On Pi, live Candlesticks pattern differs when the same equity charts open again for same time frame. Many times I have seen seen doji, hammer or hanging man formation on live charts but when I open the same equity chart again, it differs. Please comment.

    • Vivek, when you keep your chart opened, the live candles are formed from ticks/prices that is captured on pi on your machine. Data sent on the internet at best can capture 3 to 4 ticks every second. If there was internet drop at your end, data for that time won’t be captured. When you close and open the charts again, you get historical data from our data server which doesn’t miss any ticks.

    DEAR NITIN,
    I have tried many times to change my password using PI software in the format of *ABCD96abcd# or any other format ,I could not succeed, so whenever I want to change my password , I am again switching to nest software( i.e. zerodha trader) for changing the password. kindly solve the problem or tell me the format that PI software accepts.

    • Wilson, there is an issue where if you have special characters in your password, you can’t login to Pi or change password. For now can you use a pwd without special characters, we are looking at having this fixed.

    hi, how to change user setting in order window to make buy/sell in MARKET. By default it takes limit order so if a break out or break down happens and when i want to buy @ whatever Market price has and i click buy/sell button it punches pending limit order.

  200. ANKIT THAKKER says:

    Hey Nitin i Recntly Opened Account in Zerodha I Have Questions how much Stamp charges are Calculated measn yesterday i traded SBIN ce of 1250x.45 = 562.5 & Sold at .3 x1250 = 375 Total Turnover is 937.5 now Stamp Duty Charges in Gujrat shows .002% n in my contract note it showed that 1 rs is charged as stamp duty soo i want too how did dis 1 rs came on whch amount n what %

    My Second Question is what is the brokerage charges for Penny Stocks means for ex if they are under 1 rs or .50 paise is their any special brokerage charge of normal 20 rs per trade ??? plss let me no

    ANKIT THAKKER

    • Ankit,
      1. Stamp will be 0.002% of Rs 937. If stamp is lesser than Rs 1, it gets rounded off to Rs 1 (min stamp charge).
      2. No special brokerage for penny stocks, the normal brokerage itself.

      • ANKIT THAKKER says:

        Thank You Nitin …

        Another Question though i have not used Bracket Orders Yet bt 1 Q in my mind Does the Target n Stoploss Remain for the Day or Until Expiry?? Supoose the Order is Exicuted n the Target n Stoploss both Does Come on Dat day sooo is the Order Live or will Continue?? Or Its Just for Intraday only?? M Asking For Options Only??

    after login with the user name and password…. am getting an error message. invalid user id…what to do

  205. trader-001 says:

    The new PI version takes upto 5 minutes to load!!! This is not user-friendly at all.
    Worse, the Black Screen — AVANT GARDE TRADING blocks the monitor till that time. You cannot do anything till then, this screen does not go below, does not minimise — just blocks you from seeing your desktop.

    • Pankaj, it shouldn’t take 5 minutes if you have an alrite internet speed. Will get someone to call you back and check this.

    • H.C. says:

      First time loading after expiary (loading of new contracts) usually takes time or after applying new patch/fresh install. Otherwise Pi loads less than 15-20 seconds even with 512kbps bandwidth.
      You can drag that black window during loading.

  206. H.C. says:

    Hi, Nithin,
    If you can add imp fibo level 78.6% to PI (presently there is a big gap after 61.8%) it would helpful to many traders. 🙂

    It is good to see many imp features are adding to Pi one by one, good going.
    Best Wishes.

  207. Ganesh says:

    It works. Thanks for your quick response.

  208. Ganesh says:

    why PI does not allow to trade in revised lots in MAY series. It shows old lots. How to correct it.
    INFOSYS(125)(old lot: 250)
    WOCKPHARMA(125)(old lot: 500)

    • Venu Madhav says:

      Right click on Pi –> Open File location –> Look for files with extension .bin (Eg: nse_fo_contract.bin) These are your contract files. Delete them all and re-login to Pi. Your lot sizes should have gotten updated.

    • The new release should have this fixed, but here is what you can do: delete nse_fo_contract.bin from C:\Zerodha\Pi folder and relogin in Pi

    Is there any settings still missing from the software or how it works.

    Once again thanks for the support.

  221. Monil says:

    Hi

    Are you planning to add options greeks and volatility (implied & historical & IV change) to F&O segment. It would be great to have them included

    • We are planning on something, we will announce it soon.

      • Amarjeet Singh says:

        I am still waiting??? For me Greeks values in market watch is a must. It’s a pain to calculate everytime. Please add now , it’s high time. I am waiting for Greets since you launched Pi.

        • Siva says:

          It is in our list of things to do but will take sometime however in next week release we are giving option calculator on Pi itself.

  222. pi says:

    Hi NK,

    At the outset, i would definitely congratulate/thank the whole team for putting up a good trading platform. in my view, listed below advancements will make it a “to go for” platform.

    Multiple Market Watch is a must.
    Low/High price color Indicator(like Nest Trader) is certainly needed for I/D trader.
    Font adjustments in all windows will be handy(Index,trade,admin etc).may be font increase/decrease icons at the left side panel?
    Index watch could be listed(say, nifty,sensex,currency,crude,gold) in the Pi window alongwith user id/date/time. I do not think Pi version is very relevant on day-to-day basis.
    Additionally an Horizontal Index watch with “field chooser” could be very useful.
    the Chart bar after the menu bar is good, but it would be even good if u can move it inside the chart window(I will get to see one/two more scripts in MW). Or even better to include it in the left panel bar?(u have space there!)
    Hide Menu bar/Status bar.
    Connection&Order Status & Alert& messages window could be made as a “window” or hide option is preferable(like in Nest Trader)
    Saving/exporting the layout and/or window cascade options would also a nice feature.

    That said, BO availability or at least a clear hint on when this will be available will help people like me to migrate!

    • Ajit suryawanshi says:

      Hi
      since from three days almost perfect kite charting interface provided by you (that dotted line LTP movement throughout the chart also chart view can be saved) you can show entry and exit position with price and lots executed on chart so user need not go and check every time the order book ( which mean user can stay on the chart interface and user need not to change chart settings every time coming back from order window to chart interface) , you can add quick buy and sell buttons with closest bid and offer (with price update in that buttons ) along with normal and separate buy and sell button (instead of single ‘+’ button on kite chart)
      please make ‘PI’ charting and chart graphics as good as kite ( as RENKO, point and figure etc have errors that is they are time dependent it should be independent as you know)

    • A Agarwal says:

      Pi stops responding when the network is changed—from one to another internet connection. I have broadband and one mobile internet. Because of connectivity issues, I have to shift from one network to another. At that time I have to close pi and restart it. Can this issue be handled?

      • Ganesh K says:

        I am facing this issue too….after change of network, chart wont open for different scrips. the only solution is to re-login Pi and open several charts which is time consuming. I hope Nitin reads this article and give importance to it.

        • A Aggarwal says:

          I don’t think Nithin will read these or even if he decides to read, will do something about it, Why? Because its not in their priority list. Since the successful launch and upgradation of Kite they have stopped updating or working on it. Maybe NSE is at fault here as they create lots of issues for a newer developer of standalone systems and due to this, every upgrade takes lots of time.
          Kite, on the other hand, is a 3rd Party solution wherein they don’t have to maintain it. They just have to implement and add it to their system. Plus it seems most of their active users are office goers who dont have access to application installation rights in their machines.
          I don’t like kite as its not stable hence moved from it. Try Tradingview Pro ( its a paid subscription ) but its more powerful then Pi ( as you can add your own codes ) and it’s very very Stable.
