We are today probably amongst the top brokerage firms in the world in terms of the number of daily users and trades (and most definitely in India). The biggest challenge for us, the one that has made updates and releases seemingly slower than before, is that more than just adding new features, we have to constantly innovate and evolve our technology stack to cope with the massive scale and volume.<\/p>\n
Here’s a gist of what’s new in Kite 3.0. Visit\u00a0https:\/\/kite<\/strong>.zerodha.com<\/a><\/span> to get started.<\/p>\n The login page is now much faster and it is now customizable with your personal avatar for added security.<\/p>\n The fresh new Kite login<\/p><\/div>\n Just head over to the profile page on Kite 3 and set a display picture of your choosing. This will show up on the login page as well!<\/p>\n Personalise Kite with your profile picture<\/p><\/div>\n Never miss any important notifications from us with the new browser notifications on Kite. You’ll see all the messages we send on Kite no matter what application you’re using.<\/p>\n Browser notifications on Kite<\/p><\/div>\n You can now customize your marketwatch to toggle the visibility of various fields to suit your liking. The dashboard now shows concise summaries of your accounts with a slick new visualisation of your equity holdings.<\/p>\n Marketwatch<\/p><\/div>\n We have also increased the number of scrips that you can add to your marketwatch from 20 to 40.<\/p>\n Pin your favourite scrips as sticky global scrips on the top left header. I have Nifty and Sensex in the below image.<\/p>\n Pin to top<\/p><\/div>\n We’ve completely revamped the market depth view. You can now see dynamic market depth bars for a visual overview of what levels most orders are being placed and place an order at any price in the depth with a click on it.<\/p>\n The new market depth with dynamic volume bars<\/p><\/div>\n Search for specific scrips on your order book, filter by MIS\/CNC\/BO\/CO, buy\/sell order, etc.<\/p>\n A search result on the Kite 3 order book<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n See a brief overview of how the stocks in your holdings have performed in the last 52 weeks right from the holdings page.<\/p>\n Sparkline – 52-week chart<\/p><\/div>\n You no longer need to add a scrip to your marketwatch to invoke charts, view the market depth or the stock widget. Access all these functions from the universal context menu from the order book, holdings, and positions pages. Just click on the “…” button and you’ll be able to do all of this.<\/p>\n Universal context menu on the holdings page<\/p><\/div>\n This is what the market depth would look like when invoked from the order book\/positions\/holdings page. Place orders directly from the market depth view.<\/p>\n Market depth invoked from the order book<\/p><\/div>\n You can now reposition the order window anywhere on the screen and Kite will remember where you placed it next time you want to place an order. Just click and drag on the coloured header on the window.<\/p>\n Movable order window<\/p><\/div>\n You can now select multiple open orders\/positions and cancel or exit them all at once. Use the search and filters described above to make this a lot easier.<\/p>\n Select & exit multiple positions<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n You can now view up to 4 charts on the same screen using the multiple chart view. Just select the 2-chart\/4-chart view from the display drop-down on the charts.<\/p>\n Initiate multi-chart view<\/p><\/div>\n This will pop out a new tab with the charts of the 4 scrips you select. Apply studies, drawings, change timeframes,etc., for each chart individually as you see fit.<\/p>\n Multiple charts<\/p><\/div>\n This one has been a very popular demand and is now live! You can place trades from popped out charts without having to go back to the marketwatch. Click on the top-left corner of the chart to invoke the trading panel.\u00a0Use the trade panel to view the market depth, your positions & open orders before you take a trade.<\/p>\n Trade panel on the chart<\/p><\/div>\n Another very popular demand we’ve had is to allow bracket orders with SL entry. This feature is now live with Kite 3.0 too! Check the example below, Buying SBI bracket with Trigger at 318 and limit price, when the stock is at 316.<\/p>\n Bracket with entry as SL<\/p><\/div>\n This one has been live on Pi for quite a while now and with Kite 3.0, our web platform also allows placing cover orders with a limit price as the entry.<\/p>\n Cover order entry using limit<\/p><\/div>\n If you want to quickly to place an order which was already placed once again – both rejected and completed, use the repeat order option from the orderbook.<\/p>\n Repeat orders<\/p><\/div>\n Equity aftermarket orders can be placed with the SL\/SLM order types again.<\/p>\n Personally, it has been a pleasure for me to experience the new Kite 3.0<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and I hope you enjoy it too! If you spot any issues, do report them on this form<\/a>.\u00a0We will soon update the Kite user manual<\/a> and videos and phase out the old version.<\/p>\n Happy Trading,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Traders, Super thrilled to announce the launch of Kite 3.0 beta.
