Please note, as of 11th August 2015, Pi has been made available to all clients of Zerodha, active or not. 

Request to enable

If you don’t satisfy the above mentioned criterion for an active client, you will not be able to click on this button. Once you place the request it might take up to 24 hours (on working days) before you are enabled and get a download link and license key to use Pi.

Important

Prerequisites

  1. Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64). Ideally your system should already have this, if not you can download directly from Microsoft or using our Google doc. Note that a system restart might be required. If you get an error saying “.NET framework 4 installer error (HRESULT: 0xc8000222), you need to install this patch.
  2. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Runtime Libraries (x86). Again, ideally you should already have this. If you don’t have it, click here to download.
  3. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Libraries (x86). If you don’t have it already, download either directly from Microsoft or use our Google doc.

System requirement for optimum performance

  1. Intel Dual Core Processor or Higher.
  2. Windows XP/7/8/10.
  3. RAM required is 2 GB.
  4. Display Resolution greater than 1024 X 768
  5. HDD required is 2 GB free space in the installation directory.
  6. Internet Connection >=512Kbps and should be seamless.

Additional Info

  1. If you are already using Pi and want to install the latest version: Ensure you first uninstall the older version of Pi from the Control Panel (Windows key + X).
  2. On Windows 8 if you get a message, “Windows protected your PC”, click on “More Info”, and then click on “Run anyway”.
  3. Some antiviruses may identify Pi_setup.exe as false positive (ex: 360 total security). Make sure you add it to the trusted files list.
  4. Software like Magic Macro, AutoHotKey, AutoIT, FastKeys and similar should be disabled while running Pi.
  5. If charts are not opening, go to “C:\Zerodha\Pi\”, right click on “register_chart.bat” and click “run as administrator”Relogin to Pi.
  6. For Windows XP users, before the Pi installation, please download and install Microsoft WIC (if not installed already) from the following links for 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS respectively.
  7. For the best GUI (Graphical User Interface) or looks of Pi on Windows 7/8:  Click on Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items ->Display and change the size of all items to “Smaller – 100%”. Check out the image below.

Control Panel settings for best resolution of Pi

8. Also if the font seems to be different in your installation than what you see in the images above, open the “Open Sans Fonts” folder in the downloaded installation file (3rd image from top of this post). Once this is opened, you’ll see two fonts, just double click on both these fonts and choose “Install” as shown in the image below.

Happy Trading,

P.S. Please note, as of 11th August 2015, Pi has been made available to all.

    • Vishveshwar says:

      Do you guys support ? If yes, please help me with download linke and stepst to install. thanks

    • Anbarasu A says:

      Will there be any possibility of installation files for Mac or web version in future ?

      • Faisal says:

        For Web, have you checked out Kite? Kite is our easy to use Web platform.
        We are still working on Pi for Mac, in the meanwhile, you can check this video(Pi using VirtualBox)

        • Arvind says:

          Any update on pi for mac ?

        • Rohit Kumar says:

          any update for PI on mac

          • Matti says:

            No plans to build a Pi for Mac as of now. I suggest you use Kite.

            • amit soman says:

              This is not done matti… 🙁
              You have created high expectations from traders, now you can’t turn down the request just like that. Suggest us a better workaround for mac. Pi using virtual box has got lots of issues and bugs… I lost a lot of money in bad trades due to technical errors… Can’t trust that method with my hard earned money anymore…
              We need something solid for MAC OSX…. please!!!!!

              • Matti says:

                Kite is our flagship trading platform available on all platforms since it’s web-based. The team that built and maintans Pi, Tradelab – a 3rd party, doesn’t plan on creating a Mac version. Offering and supporting multiple platforms is a huge operational overhead. Hence Kite for everyone. 🙂

              • Shashank Jhajharia says:

                Install windows on mac. it works fine.

                • Samar Sodhi says:

                  Not having support for PI on apple mac is really disappointing.
                  The justification that the 3P provider/service does not support mac due to maintenance overhead is not good enough. All development decisions are benefit to cost trade-offs. The assumption you are making is that mac support is not worth it.
                  Is there data on your side to substantiate that claim? e.g. can you pull client metrics on how many users access Kite via mac to windows; and if that number is a steadily increasing number or large enough.

                  I would request you to put customers first vs designing/developing products backwards from what a 3P can support.

                  • Matti says:

                    Samar, Pi isn’t our own platform, so we do not make decisions for its development strategies. It is simply a vendor product that we offered before launching our own platform Kite. Now, since Kite is an in-house platform, we are able to take into account user feedback and make changes to the platform. This isn’t true of Pi. It’s not about a cost/benefit analysis, but simply that we don’t own the product, so can’t change it.

              • K G Shriram says:

                Please consider using Boot Camp to download and install Windows on your mac.

                Hold the Option / Alt to choose between MacOS or Windows during startup.

                Ascertain that Zerodha pi works as described with standard / limited user and thereafter purchase a home license.

                Glad to be of help.

      • saqib amin says:

        bro i am also facing the same problem.

        do you got any solution of this.

        then please reply

        • Shubham says:

          Hey Shaqib, we no longer provide support for the Pi platform, and it has been phased out completely. Pi is not an in-house Zerodha platform and since the software updates on Pi are dependent on a third-party vendor, the development can be slow and not optimal. Would recommend you use Kite which has a lot of super cool features and is our in-house product. More details here.

  22. Palani says:

    Hi,
    In how many PCs can I install PI, with the activation code provided?
    and also if I Install it in one login in a PC, will it be available in the other login as well?

    I will open the PI instance only in one PC at a given point in time, but I need to decide where (all) to install based on your input – I would prefer more flexibility.

    Best regards,
    Palani

    • You can install it in as many pc’s as you want. But with one login id, you can be logged into only one installation at a time.

  24. ANAND PAI says:

    Sir,
    What is the stamp paper value required in following
    Deed for Creation of HUF.
    Gift deed for cash gift from father to son’s HUF while creation of HUF

    Can trading be done in the HUF account.
    thanks
    Anand

    • Venu Madhav says:

      The Stamp duty payable would vary from State to State. As far as I know, the Gift deed is to be done on a Stamp paper with value = Rs.100.
      It would be best to consult your tax advisor/Chartered accountant to know the exact rate of Stamp duty.

  41. S KUMAR says:

    SIR WHERE TO DOWNLOAD ZERODHA PI

  42. Sumit says:

    I can understand SEBI requirement of allowing one account to be logged in from only one place.(PC/mobile/web etc). But how to login from two different accounts on a single PC at the same time? because allowing two different accounts to log on same PC correctly fulfills all SEBI rules.

    1. Can we login to same Pi instance from two different accounts at the same time?
    2. If not possible then can two different instances of Pi run on same PC?

    Please guide me through this as I need to manage two accounts.

    Thanks,

        • tarak says:

          I am facing this issue even in 2017 October. Not resolved in PI. It appears there is no further investment for improving PI.

          How was your problem solved? I did re installation of PI. But this is a major irritant.

          @Nithin, Are you planning to shutdown PI or put it in coma state. (no new features but in sustainance mode)

          • Abhinit Kulkarni says:

            I am still facing this issue. My client ID is ZQ9761

            • Matti says:

              Hey Abhinit, you’ll see this screen for a significant time only on your first login from a computer or after reinstalling Pi. Successive logins should work fine.

              • Satish says:

                As of 4th April 2018, I am facing same issue. Pi remains on that “Loading contracts…” screen forever. I have downloaded latest version and did uninstall-install twice but no luck.

                Any help Zerodha Team?

                Thanks.

                • Ketav Patel says:

  57. Sagar Tambre says:

    Hi Nithin and team

    hope all of you doing well And my wishes always with you.

    I had a very important query and would like to know if PI has been tested on windows tablet. If it can work on all windows tablet just as how it functions we will be blessed to hear it. Because we will have the scanner algos bracket orders and lot of other beautiful features on the go.

    Please let us know at the earliest as I am on my toes to go get one windows tab if you say it works perfectly fine as it does on the system. Also which tabs does it work will be very helpful. We will turn out to be a revolutionary Brokers

    Regards
    TAMBRE

    • algogeek says:

      In high configuration windows Tablets which runs on windows 8.1 Operating System, you can install pi , but, as the tablet has limitations as touch and type functionality, you may miss some features of pi like right click function will not work as it is touch, Pi is terminal designed especially for PC’s so, recommended to use laptop or netbook.
      KITE works excellent in tablets and very responsive web platform which also has good charting like PI

      • Sagar Tambre says:

        Thank you so much for your response… We we can use portable and wireless mouse and can defeat the limitation.

        Kite is beautiful no doubt but does not yet offer bracket orders and scanners

        So that being said. Zerodha pi is fully functionable on a full windows 8.1 tablet.

      The gap between the last candle getting formed and the data value being displayed is on purpose. This is so that the data value doesn’t overlap on the candle getting formed. Would it be possible to send a screenshot with the system time being displayed with cursor on the last candle?

  68. zax says:

    Recently opened account with Zerodha , yet to start trading. trying to understand nuts & bolts of the platform.

    I have been with ICICI Since last 14 years based on some recommendations want to try Zerodha.Relying on Kite . I do trade in US market as well where we have very good feature provided by those broker firms where you can buy and sell same day means square off your cash positions. In Indian brokerages I can see they classify as intraday or delivery which have different definitions. Do we have an option where I can buy in cash and if I want can square off on same day and If I want to carry forward my position to subsequent days then it should be done… do we have this over here?

    Any date by when we can have kite for iOS where I can do any trade on move via mobile?

    • Venu Madhav says:

      You can do this by choosing the appropriate product codes:

      For Equity:
      Choose CNC (Cash n Carry) to take delivery positions
      Choose MIS (Margin Intraday Sq.off) to take Intraday positions

      For F&O/CDS:
      Choose MIS to take Intraday positions
      Choose NRML (Normal) to take carry forward positions

      Kite for iOS would take some time. We’ll let you know once its released.

  70. Rama Shankar says:

    @nithinkamath @venumadhav
    So, I just installed Pi and came to know that it doesn’t work behind an authenticated proxy server.
    When will this feature be available? I am using kite for now. I supply in my client ID and password and then answer security questions and after that Pi shows “not responding” and then “error 407 authentication required” and then “not able to log in. Please restart again to continue”.

    I really hope this problem be fixed as soon as possible.

    Hi Nithin,
    i have 2 queries:
    1. When will Mac users be allowed to use Pi,through an authorised software built specifically for iOS?
    2. Why am i not getting margin on my stock holdings?(i just transferred all of my holdings from another demat to zerodha and was shocked to know that i will not get any margin on them)

    Thanks in advance

    • Venu says:

      1. Pi for Mac is under development. Till then you could use Kite (kite.zerodha.com)
      2. You’ve to request for your stocks to be pledged. Margin isn’t given by default. Margins for Zerodha DP should start from Feb 1st.

      • Abhi Bavishi says:

        So what? Are you saying that thousands of your customers would not get access to Zerodha’s platform, just because they have a different laptop? Personally speaking, I love Zerodha, but I would not wait even a minute if a competitor comes along with similar offering and makes a software that runs on Mac as well.

        How can you ignore a customer segment, just based on the choice of your technology stack?

    Dear Nithin

    I have a unique issue, i have highlighted my issues to the zerodha support team.. The support guys especially Mr Sreenivas has been very helpful but my issue still are not yet solved.

    The major issue is that the charts in my pi stop working after some time… This happens only with the stock options whereas the bank nifty and nifty charts never stall… I have lost so many opportunities because of this.

    I have done the following based on the advice of Zerodha support….

    1) Reinstalled Pi.
    2) Installed microsoft runtime.exe.
    3) Admin rights to register.bat file.
    4) updated time zone on my laptop.
    5) did appropriate changes on my antivirus.

    The team has been very helpful but i haven’t got a solution yet and its pretty frustrating. i thought if you can help me on this.

    • Venu says:

      Hi Uday,
      Would it be possible for you to check by logging in on another system using another Internet access. This would help us narrow done and ascertain if the issue is specific to one computer/network.

      • Uday says:

        Hi Venu

        Appreciate the quick response. If the issue was with the system or the internet, then even the bank nifty charts and nifty charts should have stalled, but they dont…. and i use a 20mbps speed net.

        Pretty frustrated currently because i am a day trader and this is my daily bread.. would appreciate any suggestions…

  119. Uday says:

    Hi nithin.

    I have written a mail to siva… awaiting his response

  120. tarak says:

    This page mentions that “Intel Dual Core processor or higher.” is required for optimal performance. However, until last PI update, PI used to work on single core machine as well. Now it is not. Even the Support team mentioned that PI requires dual core and will not work in single core environment. I have my trading system running on amazon free tier (single core windows server). This requirement hampers use of PI.

    Request you to make it work even in single core environments.

    thanks

    • siva says:

      We have incorporated multiple market watches, ability to scan market watches and increased the chart data limit,added few indicators and couple more features. If you want to use older version of Pi without new features added you can write to [email protected] for that version.But, it is recommended to have dual core processor for better performance in any case.

    Hi,

    I’m using Pi bridge to get signals from Amibroker and my employee trades for me. So, I don’t want to show the strategy developed to him and so I have amibroker in VPS.

    Now can I have AB in VPS and Pi terminal in my employee’s system and send signals so that he can just approve the alerts?

    When I called to your support, they said it is possible to remotely operate but I did not ask procedure.

    Can you please let me know the process?

    • Venu says:

      Both AmiBroker and Pi should be installed in the same system. Pi Bridge works using TCP/IP connection in sync with AmiBroker DLL’s. One application on VPS and one on a local PC wouldn’t work.

  129. Ajay says:

    Dear Zerodha, I downloaded the Pi.exe file and executed it. It is giving an error that “Visual C++ Runtime Libraries” are not installed in my computer.

    • siva says:

      The reason might be one among below.
      1. Antivirus or firewall might be blocking, can you try adding Pi in exclusion list.
      2. If you are using office network then admin might be blocking.You can check on other network or ask your admin to open necessary ports.
      If still you are facing any issue then write to [email protected].

    Thanks

    • siva says:

      Open any chart-> Go to Artificial Intelligence menu-> Pattern recognition-> select the required pattern among pre defined. Selected pattern will be plotted on the chart if any. There is no customised pattern recognition on Pi.

  138. Amit says:

    Also, given that I could login to Kite as well as Q, are there any easy to follow steps to get me start trading? Like how should I go ahead and add funds and then how to use those to book trades, how to execute a trade, etc. etc.
    I have access to 3 products – Kite, Q and Pi (although I’m still having issues with logging to Pi as I described in my earlier post) but I don’t feel confident that I’m ready to start trading your platform. Are there any online documents/videos that educate the new users?

    I open six 1 min charts and six 5 min charts simultaneously. But after 2:30 pm everyday, system becomes slow, not allowing me to execute trades fast.
    If I want to close a chart and open another, it takes 2 to 3 min especially in afternoon session. Do I have to upgrade my system? What is best computer configuration for Pi software (extreme) if I use 6 monitors etc.,.

    Soma

    • algogeek says:

      The above system configuration is decent one with quad-core, so pi should work.
      Go to task manager and check the CPU usage when you are facing issues with pi, try to disable startup programs for some time and check,( as parallel processes may cause system slow down), for more queries on this write to [email protected]

    Dear Sir,
    Can I install PI on Android Tablet

  142. Dipak Kumar says:

    i just read above that pi is available for traders and not investors means if i am a satta player then i will get pi and if investor then i will not get pi. i was thinking of opening account with zerodha. and i am comfortable with odin type software which looks similar to pi. and i am a small investor. my money is not for gambling. i want to start investing with Rs.5000/- first. zerodha must clear my doubt. how i will be able to buy share without call and trade. it should be free and without any terms and conditions. if i will make profit then only i will sell else i will hold at least for 2-3 months. stocks don’t rise overnight.

  143. Dipak Kumar says:

    Hi! I am Dipak Kumar Stock Advisor since past 15 years. I lost around 100 customers during 2008 market fall due to some foolishness of the customers. I used to double their money in 2-3 months and then they used to gamble in their account and then used to blame on me. To simplify things now I have come to know that brokers allow advisors to trade on behalf of customers. I have collected again 25 customers who are intersested in opening their account with zerodha. Now my problem is should i take this headache of trading in their account or let them handle their account And I flash my stock tips in their whatsapp or through sms. Without correct tips it is not possible to make money in stock market. Novice will 100 percent loose money in stock market. It took lot of time for me to learn how to trade. My tips are 9 out 10 correct. Now I want to ask zerodha will you allow me to trade on behalf of my customers? If not then how will i earn. Some customers are office goers and they are willingly ready to let me trade no their behalf. Will you simplify this problem. They are not intersted to do their ownselves as they dont understand anything about stock market but if i do then they are ready. I don’t understand this. Can you clear this problem and your stand in this regard. I would be waiting for your eager reply. You can whatsapp me at +917035158687. I am Dipak Kumar

    • Dipak, legally you cannot trade on behalf of anyone else (you will need a PMS license). If a broker provides you a dealer terminal, and you manage money for clients, tomorrow both you and broker can be in trouble if something goes wrong. As Zerodha, we don’t let anyone trade on behalf of another person using a dealer terminal. The best way would be to send across the tips, you can integrate our kite publisher buttons for execution. Check this.

    • Pi is free of cost. Like explained in the post above, login to Q.zerodha.com (login/pwd you would have received in the welcome email) and you will find link to Pi and within that activation code for Pi.

    • Vasanth, both the power of your machine and internet is dependent on the performance. Don’t open too many charts with lots of data on it, you will see a better performance if your system is not powerful enough. Also, atleast a 2mbps connection.

    • siva says:

      The user.config file might got corrupted, to fix this go to start->run and type “%localappdata%” , find the pi folder and delete the user file and try re-login into pi, if you are facing difficulty in doing so please write to [email protected].

    pi has virus in it my norton delets pi i am not able to install

    • algogeek says:

      pi.exe does not have virus. Norton deletes most of the exe programs as it thinks is a virus. norton blocks most of exe files.
      Check the below steps to add the file to exclusion list.

      Open Norton, Launch “Settings” from Norton 360 UI -> Click “Antivirus” Link -> Click “Scans and Risks” Tab

      Under “Exclusions/Low Risks” you will see “Items to Exclude….” options.

      you can contact support for assistance.

    Above Pi link is not working.I see Bad Gateway on clicking on the link.

  159. Babai says:

    1 ) Please add Good Till Date order type in Pi and Kite in all segments since it is very boring to place the same order every day and Sharekhan and other brokerage firms are offering it .

    2 ) Please allow to place after market bracket order and if possible put the bracket order in Good Till Date order type

    3 ) Please provide delivery margin on equities .

    Hi, I am using ubuntu system on my laptop. Please guide me how can pi be installed on the same.

  161. Zerodha trader says:

    I am fustrated with pi…it works all fine when market volatility is average but when volatility is high it gets screwed up…when their are huge price movements it hangs…it has happend to me few times….it happend today as well after budget anounced…so can you give me a answer as to why ?????

    • Hmmmm.. we haven’t gotten any complaints today. Are you using multiple trading platforms on your computer?

      • Zerodha trader says:

        thanks for your reply nithin … nope nithin I am not using multiple platforms or any other program while I use pi…I have 1 mbps internet speed..no connections problems I use a basic configuration laptop HP 1000-1b10AU running windows 10 with 4gm ram …I am thinking if I need to upgrade laptop to higher end laptop it the issue of specifications? I am just confused as rest of the time pi works fine…. 🙁

        • When there is a lot of activity on Pi, your system/internet etc is also getting worked overtime. The experience is much better if you use a powerful system and broadband (instead of 4g cards).

  162. Shreedhar says:

    I wanted to shift from my present broker to zerodha but came to know that we cannot use pi until we have 10000 rs …….thats little tough ……plz remove that criterion as pi has gud charting softwarr

  163. Nithish Kailas says:

    Please Add ‘volume at price’ indicator on the next pi update!

  164. hardik says:

    Pi is not working on windows 10.
    my laptop has all the prerequisites and i have tried all the compatibility checks but as soon as i type the activation code the program shuts off.

    • algogeek says:

      The user config file might got corrupted, follow the below steps for the solution
      go to start-> run-> and type %localappdata% and go into pi folder and delete user file.
      if you are facing difficulty in above steps or for further queries, please write to [email protected]

  165. skreddy says:

    When is the next update to pi going to be released?

    Hi Nithin,
    I am using an 1.0.0.0 version for pi(as displayed on the pi software title bar i am using)…and the updated version is 1.0.0.6(as mentioned on the website) .also checked for updates in the help menu but it mentions that I am using an updated version.
    I exported 60mins chart data(for last 120 days) on to the excel sheet and found data missing for several days. days between 09.11.2016 to 24.11.2016 are missing on the excel sheet and on the charts as well.
    please reply
    Regards,
    Dev

    • Click on about in the menu, u can see the version u r using, not the title bar version. For which stock are u exporting data.

      • DEV says:

        Hi,
        Thanks for the reply.
        I am using v 1.0.0.6( help-about ZerodhaPi-version mentioned).
        the data i extracted was for Nifty50 for the past 120 days…
        i exported the data for nifty50(120 days) today during the market hours i found that the data was complete, however when i pulled data couple of days back during off-market hours following days were missing from the sheet and also from the historical charts
        data between 9th November 2016 and 24th November 2016
        data between 25th November 2016 and 7th December 2016
        I will re-check after market hrs if there’s any data missing.
        please check it from your end as well if there’s any discrepancy in data after market hrs and reply.
        Thanks again for quick response.

      One has to verify the date on about Zerodha Pi under help menu and it should be 11/18/2016.

    I have three question for investing in mutual fund using coin. 1- If I invest in money market mutual fund then and suppose I redeem them today within how much time I can get them credited to me trading account and then to me bank account?
    2- If I redeem my money market unit today itself then within how much time I can use the amount to buy or sell the equity contract or shares?
    3-Can the mutual fund unit held in my demat account through coin can be used as margin for future or option contract?

    • 1. It depends on the settlement cycle of the fund. But within 1 day with money market funds.
      2. 1 day again.
      But we are trying to make this like ETF’s, where you can get instant when you redeem for fresh purchases.
      3. Not currently, but in the next few months for sure.

    Pi for MAC OSX is the need of the hr… There are many MAC users like me who are still stuck on kite platform and are interested in tapping the unlimited potential of ‘Pi’
    Come on Nithin you gotta bypass the microsoft dotnet hurdle sooner or later…
    We have very high hopes from zerodha… If you were a listed company in the market I would have bought 100 shares of zerodha every month… 😉

    • Sujai says:

      Yes, having Pi confined to Windows platform is a handicap for Mac users. We can’t invest in Microsoft Computer for Pi alone.

  211. Anjali says:

    Downloaded Pi just now. The desktop icon opens with login and password, it asks security questions. After answering, message appears “Not able to log in. Pl restart again to continue”. I restarted PC several times, deleted Pi from Windows and installed it again 2/3 times. Not successful. Not able to open. The step “Logging into Pi for the first time will require a License Key, which the user can get from Q (http://q.zerodha.com) ” did not come. Pl advise. Mine is Windows 7

  222. Shivam says:

    Is wifi port 64000 and 65000 needs to be open for Pi to work?

    I didn’t find this condition in prerequisites or system requirements neither zerodho ads.But after getting the Trading Account Opening Charges technical team using it as excuse for Pi non functioning.

  223. Shivam says:

    Thanks for the reply Nithin.
    (Not sure why reply button is not working)

    Yes I have used Kite it works fine for me. But I am really interested in Pi because of its back testing features, it is something I want to do before moving forward.

    If its possible with kite, please let me know where to find reading martial for the same.

    Below is the reply from technical team
    “Port is getting blocked from network side, not from your system side,Pi requires multiple ports for functioning, some ports are working and some are not.
    All required ports are:
    56000,64104,65000,35001-37000,64000.”

    What bothers me is I am using a ISP used by a large number of people why would they block these ports just for me, I dont think they hate me I am with them from last 4 years 🙂

I cannot trade without analyzing charts. Kindly revert asap.

  232. amar says:

    Few basic things in PI are missing .
    1. Moving average only can be used with closing price . No option for choosing high ,low, median like in kite
    2. Overlay options in indicator not available . Means you cannot overlay one indicator over other .
    Request to look into this aspect .

    1. While loading pi the black window on top of all windows is annoying and you cannot work in other windows.
    2. While loading, it also loads the contracts which consumes substantial time for loading. I trade in equities only and in pi there is no option to load equities ONLY unlike nest.

    • Zerodha Social says:

      Arjith, the black window will disappear after a few seconds. With a decent internet connection, all the contracts are loaded in no time.

    I am trying to install Zerodha Pi App on my desktop but my Symantec antivirus showing Pi_setup.exe file as a virus.
    Please help.

    • Zerodha Social says:

      Disable your antivirus program and install Pi. Best if you keep it disabled when using Pi to avoid conflicts and get the best performance.

    Is pi app works with chrome base operating system?

  269. Rajasekaran says:

    Hi Sir,
    is there android app like pi?. In kite app there is no option to select strike price on NFO . It is not look like ful version of zerodha. Please revert

    • Zerodha Social says:

      Rajasekarn, you just have to type in the strike you are searching for. For example to add Banknifty 30th November 25000 CE, search for Banknifty Nov 2500 CE.

    Come on @nitin, stop giving excuse of .NET. People doesn’t care about it. People are asking for macOS version of PI from 2.5 years. It would have been written completely from scratch in Swift(macOS language) in that much time. Now please don’t tell me that it’s not possible to develop PI in xCode & Swift. It looks like, you are not interested in development of mac version.

  272. Raja says:

    Hi, I am using pi terminal and using semi-automated trading to fire orders from Amibroker. Now I want to trade in my wife’s account as well but don’t want to maintain 2 computers (and 2 data plugins and 2 Amibrokers). So, can I fire orders to multiple accounts from 1 Amibroker using semi-automated trading?

    Either by –
    multi-account management from single pi (or)
    dealer terminal (I am already Zerodha Dealer)
    (or) any other solution.

    Thanks
