Trading Q&A

March 31, 2014

Traders,

Today, we announce the launch of Trading Q&Atradingqna.com, a new initiative in our quest to empower retail traders & investors with knowledge.

In 2012, we started Z-Connect as a way to converse and connect with you and to provide you with up-to-date information on all aspects of trading with us. Soon, Z-Connect grew into something bigger, a very active educational portal covering a wide variety of topics on trading and markets. We were immensely happy that the trading community, you, embraced Z-Connect and sparked countless insightful discussions. However, we also realised that it is not an easy endeavour to produce, classify, and disseminate quality information, and definitely not by one or two people in the form of a blog. We realised that it was the need of the hour to have a better platform, much better than anything that is currently available to the Indian trading and investment community, given the pitiful state of the popular trading forums out there that severely lack quality, spread misinformation, and are painful to use.

Enter Trading Q&A—a community maintained, self-curated, question and answer site for all things related to trading and stock markets. It is absolutely free to use, open, and community powered. Unlike a forum, where discussions often turn long winded and useful information gets lost in the countless pages spawned by threads, Trading Q&A enables you to ask a question and get direct, to the point answers from the community. Members of the community vote up or down questions and answers posted based on the quality and merit of the content, and as a result, good questions and good answers naturally rise to the top. An open and democratic way of learning and sharing knowledge.

 

Trading Q&A

tradingqna.com

How does it work?

  • Ask a question pertaining to trading and markets
  • Wait for the community to answer
    (Remember, you are the community, so when someone asks a question that you are knowledgeable about, it’s your turn to answer)
  • Look out for answers that have been upvoted the most, and select the best answer based on merit

To get a gist of how it works, see this example question: To trade in MCX why do we only need SPAN margin, where as for Equity F&O we need SPAN & EXPOSURE margin?

Points

Beside quality content, the best part about Trading Q&A is the points system. When you post a good question or a good answer, the community will show their appreciation by up-voting your submissions. Each up-vote earns you points. These points depict your “reputation” in the community. The higher the number of points you have, the better your contribution to the community. The points can also earn you privileges in the community, such as gaining content moderation abilities, or becoming an “Expert”. You can read more about points here.

Zerodha’s role

As administrators of the platform, we consider it our responsibility is to keep it entirely neutral, clean, and free of spam. We will strive to make the platform a high quality repository of curated knowledge that is up-to-date, relevant, and continually growing, backed by a strong and dedicated community. One of the things we’ve done to ensure openness and to really give ownership to the community, is to license all user generated content in the public domain (cc by-sa 3.0 with attribution required), similar to what Wikipedia does.

In addition, though the community will be self curated, we as Zerodha will keep finding market experts to join and participate, and moderators to keep everything neat and tidy.

Stock tips – a big No

As you already know, we’ve never promoted, nor will we give stock tips and recommendations. Trading Q&A follows the same principle. The community will neither encourage, nor tolerate solicitation and publishing of stock tips and recommendations. For it to grow as quality repository of information, it is important to keep the questions and answers generated by the community as objective as possible.

Finally

We are very excited to see how the Trading Q&A community grows.  Together, we can make it the best community and the highest quality store of trading and market knowledge in India.

As always, looking for your continued support.

      • Sudip Singh (Zerodha client since the beginning) says:

        1) rather than trading multiple lots of the same script I prefer trading single lots of multiple scripts. It is equivalent to paying huge brokerage that I would have paid on any other broker platform.
        Suggestion: if Zerodha could start monthly plan for unlimited trading say 999 Rs per month etc. It could be even 2000 Rs per month but plz do think in this direction.
        2) pi link to excel doesn’t seem to work. Can we have a fix on that.

        Thanks.. And yes u r doing a great job Nithin!

        • 1. hmm.. no plans on unlimited plans. The business has to earn for it to be sustainable.
          2. Can u send an email to [email protected], seems to be working for me.

          Cheers,

            Current world moves digital so is there any plan to perform account opening online just using adhar card and no other paper work needed

            • Matti says:

              We do have an online account opening process available, however, some amount of physical paperwork is unavoidable since the PoA for demat account and ECN declaration for commodity account cannot be e-signed as per regulations.

          Can you please answer this
          I have 100 stocks of pc jewellers since 10 days, which i bought at 56.25 rs. When it start going down from 98, I sell those stock at 92 rs. It goes into position tab where profit and loss is fluctuating with almost 1200rs profit because share went down more. So if i buy this share back will i get the profit of 1200 rs. What price it buyback the stocks again old price or current
          Or for getting this profit i need to convert it into MIS. and what if i convert cnc position into mis. Thus it will get square of automatically.
          I get confused because same thing i did in tata motor stock where i buyback the stocks at higher price and i face loss of 264.

      • Amit Sharma says:

        Mr. Kamath,

        I had horrible experience since beginning with your company and will be cancelling my account soon. I had a plan to get more business for you but considering the experience I had, I have decided I will not refer anyone. I understand my investment amount was less but I work for American Express and we have a lot of employees and I also have few who had a plan to open account and start investing but you missed big fish. Nobody bother to help in your company. Nobody. Goodbyes

      • Praveen says:

        why don’t you offer cover oder with the option to fix target price? design your app in such way that either the stop loss will be triggered or it will hit the target price by auto cancelling contrary orders.

      • Suhas Lomate says:

        Dear sir,
        your kite android application is awesome but we want something more
        that whenever any order get executed , we must get notification
        in our mobile notification bar but currently it just notify us when we open kite application

      • Sarvesh Lahoti says:

        Hi Nithin,

        I had referred 3 of my known ones to open account with Zerodha. However, none of them have received any call from Zerodha representative. On writing this concern to Zsupport, I was told to provide the contact numbers of referrals so that your team can contact them. Is this the way Zerodha Works? Do we need to follow up with Zerodha members to call our referrals to open account?

        Please take some strict action against.

        Today on 29th jan ,it’s showing avg price as 1186.12
        Why this ???

      • Amar singh says:

        Hi Nitin,
        I hope you will read this comment.
        I have a query.
        Let’s say i have 5k in my account.I did trading and got a profit of 1k.So now my total account value is 6k.
        Now i did another trade on the same day and i got a loss of -1k but i didn’t clear the trade.I carry forwarded it for the next day.So it means next day i will have 6k in my account and one open trade with -1k.
        But why at zerodha for next day i still have 5k in my account for next day and the same trade with -1k.
        Where is my profit of 1k went?
        If i didn’t sell the losing trade then why are you making my profit for the day zero and again next day i am taking the trade in loss.
        You can only make the P/L zero if both trades has been cleared on the same day.
        Let’s say if i carry forward the trade and don’t have any profit next day and still have the same -1k loss then my account value will become 4k but if i had cleared it on the previous day my account value would have been 5k.
        Why i am getting loss of -2k instead of -1k.
        Why that profit is not being added for that day.
        I will only have that loss of -1k on the day i will clear that trade not on the day i bought.
        Can you please clarify this?

        • Nakul says:

          Hey Amar,

          This is an account specific query and we would need more context about your account and the instruments you have traded. Could you please raise a ticket on our support portal explaining where have you identified this discrepancy trading what instrument? Also, note that you can verify the debits and credits in your account using the contract notes you would have received at the end of each trading day. We request you to verify this before raising the ticket.

      • Amardeep says:

        Hi Nitin,
        I just want to say can you please stop this mock trading on saturday.It’s not useful at all.People come here and buy and sell blindly .There is no learning here.If you want mock trading or paper trading you can make another website where people can learn everyday but not on kite.
        New traders like me wants to sit and check previous days price actions to learn but here we see mock trading is going on which is no help at all.
        In hope you will consider this request and stop this.

        Thanks

      Hi Nithin
      appreciating you and your team for providing the best trading platform
      Can u do some changes in kite charting window,while placing order there should be quick buy or sell button with closest bid/offer price update just like your pi interface, also when order executed that price (blue for buy and red for sell) should be flashed on chart (like sticky notes),also can you change kite popup order window for future contract asking for number of lots rather than quantity, hope that will make kite more handy in my opinion
      may be I am wrong
      Thank you for your reply

        Hi Nithin Sir,

        I use Kite for trading. It’s a wonderful app I ever used. Very user friendly application. Sir please reply my query. Can I place one buy cover order and another sell cover order in the same script. I just wanted to protect my capital when things go against me. E.g. I executed Cover Order sell in crude at 3652, after that can I place Cover order buy in crude at 3635? Both the orders must be active. Please advice.

        • Yes you can place both the orders. But there is no point doing this as one order will negate the other order in terms of your net position. Instead of placing an opposite order, you rather just exit the position. Cover orders anyways give you the protection of having a SL. Check this for cover orders.

    Hi Nithin,

    I have one question based on the below scenario for intraday trading

    Lets say in a live market, Yes Bank is trading @ 448 now, But I want to buy only above 451. How Can I place a buy order in my Nest terminal when the price is at 448 but it will get triggered only at or above 451?

    Yesterday I accidently stumbled while trading in MCX, but not checked in cash market. I am not sure it its the correct way?

    I.e. To achieve the above scenario what if I place the below order

    Buy Order
    Order Type = SL-M
    Prod Type = MIS
    Trigger price = 451

    Later in the day I can sell as

    Sell Order
    Order Type = Limit
    Prod Type = MIS
    Price = 454

    Thanks,
    Mahesh

    Suppose lets say for trading intraday 1 lot of nifty futures zerodha is wanting rs 11500 Margin . And lets say I deposit rs 12,000 and lot size of nifty future is 50 and i open a market buy position and at 7000. so if the market falls below 6990 which will make my capital go below the required margin will my trade get automatically squared off ?

    • Hanan says:

      Jason, your trades get squared off if you have higher losses on your account, not if you lose 10 points on an intraday trade. The way margins work is if you’re required to have 12000 to enter a position, you can enter only if you have that amount. Once in the position, you can ride it until you start losing much more of your capital, maybe 20-30% – at this level, our RMS desk will intervene and square off your position if it is risky. So for example, if you entered this position because you had the exact amount of Rs. 12000, then you book a loss of Rs. 1000 on the trade… after this, you can’t re-enter the trade because you don’t have sufficient margin. Please read our Policies and Procedures page to get more info.

  12. Sreedhara Murthy says:

    On 17th June 2014 I had placed a bracket order for 500 Nifty 7550 June Call option which was executed at 78.70 (Order No.2014061701727271). I had placed Target for 10 points and Stop Loss 5 points. The trailing stop was placed at 20 ticks (1 point). The nifty went from 78.70 to 80 and beyond, came down and hit my stop loss trigger. My question is when trailing stop loss is there which is 20 ticks (1 point), my order should have triggered at 79.70 or higher as it moved higher from the entry and the trailing SL was 20 ticks (1 point).

    Please clarify and if I am wrong, kindly let me know where I am wrong.

    • Let me get this correct, Bought at 78.7 SL 5 points, so initial SL placed at 73.7 and target 10 points so target at 79.7. Trailing SL : 1 point

      When price moved from 78.7 to 79.7 (1 point, which is your trail), new SL will be 5 points below 79.7 which is 74.7. Now if the price comes down, the SL will get executed at 74.7 instead of the earlier 73.7.

      Remember that it is trailing SL, it will always be x number of points/ticks behind the market price. Hopefully clarifies.

  13. Sreedhara Murthy says:

    I have some difficulty in placing 2L orders as spread order.

    When I place a Bull spread order like buying 7650 call option and selling 7700 call option of June expiry at market rate as a spread order duly selecting “2L” order from the drop down option the the spread order window, the order is not accepted stating that I have to change the expiry date to the different one than the first entry.

    Then I had to order it under Basket Order entry. Please let me know why the spread order entry is not being accepted and also how to square up this position.

    • Will check the spread order, to square off the position you can use the basket order itself with opposite orders or else just square off individually using the order/admin position window.

  14. Venkatesh says:

    Dear Sir, The nifty fut is need the margin of Rs.30000+ as of now like trading at nifty fut 7700.
    any possibility is there to trade nifty fut to less margin of Rs.10000-Rs15000 so that i can buy some more lots.

    Hi Nitin, I have a question regarding intraday short.
    Suppose I have 100 shares of a company xxx (as CNC)which I bought on monday.

    Then on tuesday I sold the 100 shares of company xxx (as CNC)
    so if again buy 100 shares(as CNC) of company xxx will it be considered sell/buy intraday ?

    another question is if on tuesday I sold the 100 shares of company xxx (as MIS)
    and if again buy 100 shares(CNC) of company xxx will it be considered sell/buy intraday ?

    another question is if on tuesday I sold the 100 shares of company xxx (as MIS)
    can I convert this short to CNC ,as I am already having 100 shares of company xxx bought a day before.

    • 1. Yes will be considered intraday

      2. No, 100 MIS will get squared off at 3.20pm and the remaining 100 shares will get added to your earlier 100

      3. Yes you can.

      • anish424 says:

        Hi Nitin,

        But when I called customer care today, the executive told me that if I bought on moday sold on tuesday and again bought on tuesday only then what I sold will be settled against monday bought shares and tuesday bought will be carry forwarded as delivery.

  18. Tousif says:

    Hai, I just want to know that if I have stock A in my portfolio and i sell that stock. Can I buy back the same stock on the same day without waiting for T2 settlement having considering that I have limited funds.

    • If you have stock A in your portfolio and sell it today and then buy back before the end of the day, it is considered as an intraday trade. So yes you can do this, and any profit or loss from that intraday trade is credited/debited to you. You will continue holding Stock A in your demat after this.

  23. Elam says:

    Hi

    I would like to know where can i fund the cost price of share traded ( cost buy price = (Buy price + Brokerage + other fee)/ qty) through Zerodha?

    I used to trade in hdfc sec and one can generate report (Say for 15 days interval) of trade details from their online trading platform. An excel sheet will be generated with all details of individual share (qty, buy/sell price, brokerage and total amount deducted/ credited). So it would be easy for me to calculate a single share cost price.

    I have a habit of entering all my trade details in moneycontrol.com and monitor from that. So i would be needing an easy solution to calculate the cost price of shares traded through zerodha?

    It is practically impossible to read individual trade details and calculate using contract note. Also i do not see any option available in back office to retrieve this. Back office only gives you qty + actual price. It doesn’t give brokerage, other fee or cost price.

    Can someone help where can i find the cost price in zerodha? Or if anyone has any kind of excel sheet which would give Zerodha pricing details if I enter qty n buy price.

    I believe I may not be the only one who would need to know the cost price in order to better calculate the returns.

          Your residential status may keep changing depending on your length of stay at India. The Income Tax Act has a special provision for people in the merchant navy. Accordingly

          Under Section 6(1), an individual is said to be resident in India in any previous year if he satisfies any one of the following basic conditions:

          He is in India in the previous year for a period of at least 182 days or,
          He is in India for a period of at least 60 days during the relevant previous year and at least 365 days during the four years preceding that previous year.

          In case an Indian citizen leaves India for employment abroad in any year for the purpose of employment (or where an individual, who is a citizen of India, leaves India as a member of the crew of an Indian ship), or where an Indian citizen or a person of Indian Origin, who has settled abroad, comes on a visit to India in the previous year, shall not attract clause (b) of the basic conditions Therefore, such individuals may stay in India upto 181 days in a given previous year without becoming resident in India for that previous year. An individual who does not satisfy either of the above basic conditions is non-resident for that previous year.

          The onus of declaring the residential status vests on you. However for convenience, I may suggest getting an account opened in the name of spouse/parents and trading.

    Hello,
    I have opened my trading account recently with zerodha and want to add hdfc as a secondary bank account ..so what should i do???..PLZ GUIDE

  29. Kushal Basu says:

    I really need to do one thing while trading, that I can not set up by myself, please give me some suggestion:
    Can you plz help with a script that will be able to scan the securities of NFO based on Bollinger Band and MACD like
    if the condition is like (Candle closes above Upper Bollinger Band and MACD is above zero line and MACD directing upwards), then
    we get an alert for the list of securities meeting this condition for upside entry
    if the condition is like (Candle closes below Lower Bollinger Band and MACD is below zero line and MACD directing downwards), then
    we get an alert for the list of securities meeting this condition for downside entry

    The alert need not repeat every candle for a particular security.
    If the third clause within bracket i.e. MACD direction is too difficult to implement, you may plz skip that.

    Parameters of Bollinger and MACD need not be hard-coded. As an user, I should be able to insert the values.

    So, I’d expect a list of Futures (current month only), every new candle. I accept that every candle will not generate a list either upside or downside.
    Can anybody help me to fix the matter?

    Mr. Nitin,

    While surfing I came across this site. There are hundreds of people complaining about your company, people, working style, software failure etc. Link http://www.mouthshut.com/product-reviews/Zerodha-reviews-925670738

    I was thinking of opening an account with your company. Because one of my friends has opened with your company.

    What is your say on this? You prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

    [email protected]

    • Manus, there are bound to be some people who will not be happy. Places like mouthshut etc, are places where even competitors jump in to bring the brand name down. Best would be to talk to someone who is actively trading with us, maybe your friend.

    Sir, I have lost money in yesterday’s trade because of your system fault. I have bought Asian paint @ 897.5 with a stoploss of 895.5 and tgt of 899. But because of your system fault it triggered both side. As it is a bracket order it should cancel immediately when it touches tgt or SL, .Its been informed to support team to close all my holdings before the end of the day as it was not working from my side. Now they are saying that I had a open position in Asian paint sell side n they cleared it today morning with Rs 5000 loss. Tell me who is responsible for this. Do you our money is safe with you guys? Will you compensate my lost money? Who is responsible for my loss. Whole day your phone did not work (busy) whenever called all day. Tellvme how will I get my money back. Need a investigation on this issue.

    I have Doubt Regarding This ..Can Anyone Pls Clarify It ..
    So in CNC Order Its Clear That No Need to Put Any Stop Loss , or No fear of Getting Negative Balance ….I can Hold Shares as Long as i want in DMAT Account …….
    I have Doubts Regarding EQUITY MIS Order NOT BRACKET or COVER ORDER
    Say i have Purchased 1000 Shares of PNB At a Price of 77 using MIS Order in Equity.
    My questions Are
    1.when I place Trade At 77 . Market Goes down to 75 , So Is there is Any Possibility of Getting Negative Balance In my account ? Or I have time Till 3:20 To close The Trade ?

    2.Is there any Possibility of Trade closed Automatically when Price Goes down from 77 to 75 ?

    • 1. When you buy 1000 shares at 77 for intraday, u r buying Rs 77000 worth of shares and a margin is blocked. Assume this margin is 10% or Rs 7700. If your account has only Rs 77000 and if market falls Rs 7.7, then you would have lost the entire Rs 7700 in your account. If markets any further below 69.3 (77-7.7), your account will go in negative. Once you take a position you can hold till 3.20pm, provided you are maintaining the balance of Rs 7700.
      2. Not at 75, but typically if the margin required in your account drops by more than 40%, it is possible. So if you had only Rs 7700 and you lost Rs 4000, your account balance is now at 3700, our RMS system might auto square this off.

      • Mohammed Nawaz says:

        Is This same procedure applied to CNC Oerders Also ? Concept of Negative Balance ? So If I bought 1000 Shares By paying 77000 in CNC , How many Days I can Hold Them ?

    2. i plotted it horizontaly manually but many times it is not horizontal perfectly
    3. it does not extend automatically with price new candles it will stuck

    please provide us horrizontal line also in pi for better trading …

    Banknifty weekly options still not available on kite.when same will be available.

  51. Vijay Krishnan says:

    Hi,

    Not sure whether this is the right forum to raise this point. I am an intraday trader. I see that the Point & Figure Chart and Renko Chart are very useful to someone like me. While the charts appear to be constructed correctly for price actions that have already completed, however, in the live chart, they do not function properly. Here is an example:

    Live Point & Figure Chart:
    ————————————
    Security: Nifty Futures (let’s say, Nifty Jun Fut)
    Box Size: 4
    Let’s say that Nifty is at 8100.
    Let’s say that the previous move was the completion of the “O” column.
    Nifty now moves to 8104.
    A New “X” column should be formed, with the position of the “X” adjacent to the 2nd “O” (or adjacent to the “O” that is above the bottom most “O” of the previous column)

    So, this is what should happen. Unfortunately, in live chart, it removes the bottom most “O”, which means that I still cannot see a reversal in price. This point would be an exit point for me if I am short on Nifty Fut.

    A similar issue happens with live Renko Charts. In the above example, instead of creating a new Green box, it erases the lowest Red box.

    If this issue is resolved, it’ll be pretty simple for someone like me to make amazing returns. But, Since I am not able to see the changes in live charts for these 2 chart types, I am missing exit points.

    Kindly do the needful and fix this issue so that a retail trader like me can profit enormously and put the money made to good use of the society

    Best Regards

    Vijay Krishnan

    • Are you using Kite or Pi?

      • Vijay Krishnan says:

        Nithin,

        This happens in both Kite and Pi.

        • Vijay Krishnan says:

          Nithin,

          I noticed one more thing. When I change the chart duration,i.e., 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 5 min etc, the Renko and Point & Figure charts change. These 2 charts are time independent, but, on both Kite and Pi, these 2 charts seem to change for different time periods. This could probably be one of the reasons why they are not behaving as they should. They should purely be drawn on price action alone. Just thought this might help in adding more insight while your developers are looking at the issue

          • Vijay, currently on Kite, they box size changes with change of timeframe. So it is not really the time frame changing, it is the box size changing.

            • Vijay Krishnan says:

              Hi Nithin,

              Thanks for the info. Can you please tell me what are the box sizes that Kite defaults to for different time frames? That’ll be nice to know and interpret.

              But, the other behavior that I had highlighted in my 1st post, i.e., the bottom most box or top most box being taken out instead of a new box being formed the other way, please do look into it. It is very important that they work accurately in live charts.

              • When you change the time frame, you can see on the chart itself what the new box size is.

                The new box seems to be forming correctly. Anyways having this checked.

                • Vijay Krishnan says:

                  Hmmm. So,should I wait for the time period to complete to see the box that are correctly formed? I have not done that. If this is the case, I will use a 1 min chart for Renko and P&F. I will try this out and keep you posted, in order to avoid unnecessary work for your Dev team.

                  • You don’t have to wait for the time period to complete, you have to wait for the box to complete and give you a tick about the box size. So if box size is 1, stock is at 100, only if the price goes above 101 will the new box be formed.

                    • Vijay Krishnan says:

                      In that case Nithin, I do see existing boxes being erased instead of new boxes being formed.

                    • Seems to be working fine for me. You are looking at Kite right?

                      Open a Nifty future chart, set the range as 2 when u open the renko chart. So the box size is 2. If current box is 8278-8280, a new green box will form only when the price is over 8282 (if it goes 8282 and comes down, the box will plot and dissapear) or if price goes below 8276. Just checked now, works fine.

                    • Vijay Krishnan says:

                      Ok Nithin. Thanks

                    • Vijay Krishnan says:

                      Thanks Nithin. It works as you have explained. By the way, I would still like the box to stay rather than taking it off. My point of view is, once Renko draws a box, it shouldn’t be removed. These boxes can act as strong future support / resistance levels as well. Just my 2 cents.

    I am an intraday trader. Since today only normal buys and sells can be done, am trying to add funds but the submit button seems to be disabled. Please do let me know. If funds transfer from bank to trading account is also blocked for the day, I would rather spend my time playing in my XBox rather than staring at the screen 🙂

      There’s no reason to stop fund transfer. It’s a little difficult to ascertain why it happened, more so because there were no payment gateway related issues.

    Hello Mr Nithin,

    There is an option of putting on buy and sell order directly on PI screen, buy giving a right click.
    However its a wonderfull option, I have a suggestion from my end if it can updated, by giving a flixiblity of moving that buy, sell or Stop loss order manually which is given on PI chart directly .
    I hope you understood my explaination.

    • Venu says:

      You can place SL orders from the Pi chart. If you’re trying to buy higher than LTP or trying to sell lower than LTP, the order type automatically is a SL-M order.

    Dear Mr. Kamath,

    I have a feedback for you which is in favor of Zerodha.

    I have shifted my portfolio to Zerodha on 11/07 and This needs a manual input of price and dates of each trade. We need so called backoffice support. Now after 23 emails , 10s of so called ticket and more than 10 calls , My portfolio is still not correct. Satyajit, Sura, Akshay etc I am done with many such names for such a small issue. And below is last email I have puting after getting frustrating to limits. You really need to look in to it.

    Hi Akhsay,

    I am still waiting for your email to confirm the callback by EOD with Mr. Anand (Satyajit’s manager) . I hope you didnt lie saying you already sent an email.

    Thanks

    • Ajit, I think we are probably the only brokers who allow this to happen. Give an option to enter prices on transferred stocks to DP with breakdown. This feature is a little buggy and we are currently working on building an all new Q with this feature fixed. Hence this is taking time. I will still speak to the guys on this and see if we can do something asap.

    Dear Nitin,
    It is quite regrettable that, standard of Customer service of Zerodha has gone down considerably. It is only last month I had you contacted through this blog reporting my disappointment with your staff concerning error in P/L report generation in q.zerodha for the month of July. It took more than 2 weeks for them to resolve that issue. You had checked with me if it was Ok, which I had replied in affirmative after checking. However, I had not checked if the P/L report generation was alright for all months in this FY. Subsequently, when I checked I found that, P/L re[port generation for the previous month that is June 16 is now not happening. So while sorting out July month’s P/L report generation problem, technical staff have CREATED a new problem.
    I reported customer service immediately with reminders. However, even after 3 weeks it still remains unresolved.
    I request you to kindly look into this matter earnestly to resolve ASAP. Kindly let me know after it’s been done with reason for cropping up of such issues.

    I have account with zerodha from last 1 years . Since last 2 months I am starting to get calls from equity research firm to subscribe to there stocks tips. Why zerodha sharing there client info to such form? ow they did get client details and disturb unnecessary even client is not interested.
    Also Zerodha is sharing client portfolio who is earning good profit to other client by charging some amount.Its unethical and client portfolio should not be shared at any circumstances.
    Request you to look into this.

    • Rohit, we would never share your number with anyone. This is generally an industry problem where people are getting database of people who trade/invest and keep calling them to sell tips. The next time you get a call, you need to report it to TRAI by sending SMS to 1909.

      We never share any client portfolio. We run an initiative called https://opentrade.in/, where clients can opt to share their portfolio for a fees. Do check out: https://opentrade.in/

      NEFT takes 3-4 hours to get updated. There’s no need to send any screenshots if you’re doing NEFT transfers. It’s better to transfer using the payment gateway since the update is instant.

Apart from that I have another complain regarding Zerodha accounts department, When a client transferring money from his/her Individual bank account to Zerodha trading account along with a snap-shot,Then that amount should be updated automatically within a certain time limit,But its not happening, From my personal experience I am saying this, after transferring the amount in market hours I waited for 1 hour approx but Zerodha accounts department had not update my balance, So i called up to Zeroda customer care and then after half an hour approx they have update my balance to my trading account.I think it should not belike this, after transferring the amount within market hours why should client will make call to customer support for updating, It suppose to be update automatically, So I would like to request you to Mr Kamath for taking care of these kind of issues please. Zerodha is a brand,and i appriciate Zerodha services excluding those two issues. So will hope for good result on this in future.Thanks

      Thanks for your feedback Manas. Apologise for the inconvenience caused. We’ll look into the Funds issue, typically NEFT takes 2-3 hours, IMPS, if screenshots have been uploaded takes 10-15 mins. I suggest you use the payment gateway to make transfers where updates are instant. There’s a small convenience fee of Rs.9+ST for it. About Q, we’re done some changes on the backend to ensure you don’t face any downtimes.

    Hello Sir,

    2 questions i have.

    1. Is there any options to have short term loan on trading account?(demat?) if margin get reduce and position about to close/square off automatically?

    2. If i have four options ( 2 ITM and 2 OTM)position opened on expiry date(Nifty last Thursday of the month).
    I close one ITM and OTM just before market closing and let balance one ITM and another OTM expire.

    which is better close before or let expire in terms of taxes, STT, service charges etc..

    thanks and regards

  81. Vishnu says:

    Stability of Q is a major issue (90% of the time, we get the error “502 Bad Gateway”) and for most part of the day, it is not available. When raised with support, we get a standard response that the issue has been fixed and one has to re-login. Even after re-login, the same story continues and it is becoming tough to trade without data from Q. When the issue was escalated to the technical team in August 2016, it was told that enhancements to Q were happening and would be completed within a month after which the issue won’t recur. Even after 2 months, there is no improvement. Do you have any plans to make Q stable or is it just a fancy tool which cannot be used.

    • Manas Chattaraj says:

      Respected venu sir, thanks for your quick reply, And for your kind information I always made payment through IMPS and also send the snap-shot through back office…then also why should i call your support for updating and as I am having account in United Bank Of India,So i am not getting the payment options via “Payment Get-way” in NEST,Those are disable. So please rectify this issue with strict-hand action for future.Thanks.

    Hello,
    during the extreme volatile session yesterday, (morning first one hour) I faced a lot of failures to book/place trade orders.
    I was using Kite web mode ( I tried kite in mobile too, but it failed to login).
    Is there any other website/mode which you suggest is more reliable and faster during these kind of extreme volatile sessions ?

    I had this problem during BREXIT as well !

    Thanks

  95. chirag says:

    sir my question is can i have a buy position and short sell postion in one script both the postions are in NRML not in intraday.

    for example i bought silvermic in future contract assumeing that the price of silver will go up and suddenly it goes down. now i want to place other order of silvermic in future like short selling as the price is falling down. now my question is that i dont want to square off my buy position becasue i still believe that the price of silvermic will increase in future as it is in future contract.. so can we do short sell and my buy position should not be get squared off…. please waiting for your reply…

  96. Ajay says:

    Hi Nithin,

    I am an account holder with zerodha, i have some query, I know this is not the correct platform to put up this question, but i will be really great-full to you to please reply on my queries.

    I want to know some thing about binary option trading, i have been doing virtual binary option trading with virtual money for the past some weeks and i found it profitable. Can you please let me know that weather it is legal in India? and if it is then which broker will be good to open an account with?

    Thanks,
    Ajay

    • Ajay, it is not legal to trade them in India.

      • Ajay says:

        Thanks for your quick reply Nithin,

        What if, i get an account with some foreign broker registered to deal in binary option trading, and then start trading in binary options, further if i will pay all my taxes in this relation also, in that case also it is not legal?

        • Venu says:

          It’s a grey area, there are no regulation that explicitly allows/disallows it. Since you wouldn’t know the regulatory structure of the entity you’re opening an account with, it’s best avoided.

  97. siva says:

    Today(Mon) I tried Intraday on galada telecom BSE
    Prev close Rs10.4 open 10.0 L/U price band 8.32 to 10.48Rs
    cur mar price 10.4 steadily no ups no downs
    in MIS I tried SL with price 9.70,9.50, trigger 9.60,9.50,9.30,8.40 all orders rejected
    it always says stop price is not reasonable default values for price and trigger are cur mar prices
    so what is the use of SL if we have to buy at mar price
    in MIS I tried SL-M with price 9.60 order rejected it says check last trade price(10.40) vs trigger price(9.60)
    if we set trigger price as 10.40 then we have to buy at LTP (10.40) then what is the use of SL-M
    Only MIS Limit order with price 9.00 was placed
    even when they have to explain about SL orders they don’t say directly with simple examples they confuse us by saying that place SL order for the stocks we already possess. they don’t say how to buy on SL SL-M orders
    I think they profit upon our orders by using some software as our orders are processed by their servers

    we have to understood that information is eqal to money they don’t give information clearly

  98. Alap says:

    i just opened new ac with zerodha, i got pi today
    but very bad exp, noone to tell how to use tht software , very poor support u have. very disappointed
    wht is api , how to use tht .? wht is EA, ? how we can knw tht ? very bad support system
    why there is noone who can explain this all?
    why renko chart is always hang ?
    there is noone who can listen or solve ,
    whn i ask to my sales person , they sent me mail with links of z connet and zerodha q and a,
    it means we have to take full course like reading all ques and ans abt everone then try to solve our query by ourselves.
    i hope someone here wil solve my issues.

    i am in markets more then 10+ years , used many charting and trading software and have ac with many broker also , but not faced this kind of disappointing from anyone, yeah they may be take more time to resolve and yeah ofcourse charges higher in terms of brokerage and other charges but my trade wil nt stop , and i think its first priority,
    if trade wil nt placed then no use of lower charges or free.
    every time i got very bad feelings when try to talk or mail to sales person .

  99. Sudheer Kumar says:

    Hi Nithin,
    Thank you for this convenient trading platform, and the extensive educational section. Occasionally I’ve some issues with Kite, still trading has been a pleasant experience here. Please consider adding these two indicators to Kite: Laguerre and Stochastic histogram. Laguerre seems to be an oscillator for finding cycles.

  100. siva says:

    in the contract notes no DP charges are shown but recently DP charges are showing in ledger. what are these?
    these occurred thrice recently.

    • Venu says:

      DP or Depository participant charge is levied on stock movement out of demat account which managed by depositories (NSDL or CDSL). This has no relation to contract note which captures all trades and related charges executed on the stock exchanges (NSE or BSE). Hence DP charges and also demat account maintenance charges are levied separately on the ledger and not on contract note.

  101. preetam says:

    Sir,

    I have a an account in zerodha which has been referred by someone, but now I want to get my account mapped under somebody else. Why is this is not possible as I have opened account through him because I wanted to use his services, but now I do not require them and want to use somebody else’s service.

    I am trading using kite. When I put a limit order, the order is executing at market price. Please advice me

    • Venu says:

      Are you sure you’re placing the order the right way? You would use a limit order:
      a) If you wish to buy at a price lower than current market price
      b) If you wish to sell at a price higher than the current market price

    I’M F&O trader and also invest for long term.If I mention income from F&O as business income and if I sold shares after 12 monthes then will I eligible for capital gain benefit ? Can I be the trader and investor at the same time?

    • Venu says:

      Yes, you can claim the LTCG benefit while being a trader trading the F&O segment. But to do that, you’ll have to have a clear distinction between your F&O and Equity trades and you’ll have to maintain proper books of accounts. As long as you’re able to convince the assessing officer (if needed), you could claim the benefit of all LTCG’s.

Getting me a job in any brokerage firm or in NSE/BSE will help me towards my goal or i should sit at home and practice more to trade and invest? i am ready to give it all in. Please reply.

    • Akshay says:

      please do reply sir.

    • Venu says:

      If you are serious about a career in investment, then you need to look at getting yourself a CFA certificate from CFA Institute, USA. Post this, you need to aim at getting yourself a job with asset management companies. This will be a great start to developing a career in investment management.

    Ex:Suppose I trade in Crude Oil.As per rules in a single order I can buy 100 lots or 2.5% of OI.Now I have free cash still left.So I put first order of 100 lots and again I placed 2nd order of 100 lots more.Another 3rd order of 100 lots.So now I have 3 orders;100 lots each order..Now can I exit the the 3 orders at the same price or I need to exit manually one by one by clicking on EXIT.(Assume I am using Cover Order). ???

    • When you sell from holding, for that day it shows in position. It shows there because many people like to sell stocks and then buy back before end of day. If you don’t want to buy back, ignore that position, end of day it will automatically disappear. Check this video. You can always call our call center, 080-40402020, it is on our website.

  120. Anand says:

    Dear Nithin Kamath

    your kite web application is excellent and very user friendly..but it is lagging one important feature itseems.
    As a client of you I desired that. If it is possible to include kite web next versions please develop it.
    Feature details.
    for example I want buy nifty feature like below..
    Buy above 8858 Tgts: 8873 / 8888 SL: 8838
    So your app should buy the nifty feature when it hits 8858 ..once done it has to place orders for target for 8873 and stop at 8838. So if my target 8858 hits it should automatically cancel my stop loss order and vice versa…
    Including such a feature in your web application or mobile android application may draw you millions and it is very useful for us also. One thing is for sure it will become very attractive feature..Please include this in your next version

    Thanks,
    Anand

    I am not a full time trader, I want to invest in delivery trading and want to sell some weeks after I bought, can it possible? and also If I buy a share of Rs.100 as CNC and I want to sell it at when the price hits Rs.110 no matter how long it takes, can I give instruction and set leave? (will it execute my instruction without being in online?)

    • Yes, you can buy and sell anytime you want. Yes you can place a limit selling order and close your system, you don’t have to be online. But this order has to be placed everyday as all pending orders get cancelled end of day.

    I am tied up with some busy works and even I forget the position too.

    Now Nifty is on Bull run, on expiry day Nifty closed above 8600 ( say 8630). My strike price is 8600.

    Will my position become ITM because it closed above 8600 ?
    So do I have to pay the huge STT ?

    Hello,
    Please solve my doubt about bracket order. Example SBI CMP is 272, day high 276, day low is 268. I want to buy above 274 or shortsell below 270, but why is that it gets executed immediately at CMP?

    • Anurag, in bracket order currently there is no option to buy with a trigger order as entry. So you can either buy at current or lower price or at market price by placing a limit order at a higher price. Check the video on bracket orders here.

      • Anurag Garg says:

        Thanks Sir,
        But I believe without the above desired facility the entire idea of bracket order is null and void. Then in this case it is just a bracket order by name without the facility of bracket order. Can we expect Zerodha to come out with real bracket order with the all the benefits of bracket order? Sharekhan in this regard is real helpful which allows you to buy or short as per your comfort only.

    How options value calculated?
    Why it changes even if the value is same. For example:
    Nifty is currently at 9000 and I take a call option for 9100 @ 100(expiry after 1 month) but it weakens and at the end of the day call has value to 95 as nifty dips by 20 points. Now, next day even Nifty opens at 20 points plus it it has still value 95. Again if nifty gains 50 points and then fall 50 points i.e. reach to 9000 again and now it shows value 105. Why this happened?? Why at same value of nifty it has 3 different call values ? How these values calculated??

    I m curious to know abt the allotment process in IPO…why don’t HNI or NII get allotted more then one lot in an oversubscribed IPO !??!???…and if it is usually a case ,that in case of oversubscription each account is eligible only for a single lot only,no matters how many lots they have applied for,then why ppl borrow huge chunk of money for subscribing in the NII or HNI segment???????i myself has applied for DMart from 3 different accounts.Each amounting to 2 lac but was allotted only single lot in each …:so is it bttr to invest only 45k instead of 6 lacs????

    • On issues like Dmart, it is very tough to get allotment when over subscription is as much. Maybe you could have gotten same allotment by applying for with 45k. In the HNI category, a client would have put up 1% and borrowed the rest. I think in dmart, if the HNI put up Rs 1 crore, he could apply for Rs 100 crores. I think the allotment would have been for around Rs 35lks, he would have made 35 lks gain out of which financing cost would have been 25 lks for 99 crores. But overall net, he would have still made upwards of Rs 10lks for 1 crore investment. But this was possible only because there was such a big pop on listing.

      I think companies are free to announce their results anytime during the scheduled day. I’m not sure if there are any websites that publish this data. You can post it on tradingqna.com to get better response.

  142. Ramesh Sehgal says:

    I wanted to know whether there is any limit on the Futures of Nifty and banknifty,also on overall limit.

  143. neelima says:

    I have started using Kite only a few days ago. I have a query. Suppose NTPC current price is Rs.165. I want to buy it only at a price of Rs.155 or below. I want a delivery order only by paying full cash. It is difficult for me to track the price frequently and so can I place a SL order with trigger price. I mean “Can I place a SL order with trigger price of Rs.155 and limit price of Rs.154” or “Can I place a SL-M order with trigger price of Rs.155”.

    Please clarify.

    • You just have to place a CNC limit buying order with price as 155. No need to use SL and all. SL is required to buy above the current market price not below (people who trade trends like to buy when price moves up by certain points).

      • Debarshi says:

        Hi Nitin, thank you for your response. I just found an email delivered to my mail box from NSE around 9:50 pm.
        In respect of “Payment Gateway Charges”, kindly let me know where the charge is ‘bi-directional’ i.e. applicable for both transferring money from my bank to Kite and withdrawing money from kite to bank a/c? Your advice is requested to avoid such kind of charges in future.

  144. Ramesh Sehgal says:

    I wanted to know whether there is any limit for the client set by you like Ventura has 7500 for Nifty future and 2500 for Bnaknifty and overall transaction limit of 25cr.in a day.

    • Single order limit of 7500 or 2500 is set by exchanges. If you want to trade more, you can do it in multiple orders. No overall transaction limit of Rs 25crores per day.

  145. Debarshi says:

    I have started using Kite only a few days ago and found this quite user friendly. For each transaction, I found that an amount of ₹10.35 is being deducted from my ledger balance showing “Being Payment Gateway Charges Debited”. I could not make out why this amount gets deducted since there is possibly no hints regarding this levy in brokerage calculator. Also does it depend on the charge/dividend bank a/c of the user?
    Apart from that, no mail was received from the exchange(NSE) in respect of my successful purchase of equities (CNC) today even if I received an sms from NSE asking for checking my registered mail. But one of my friends received a mail from NSE for an transaction exactly identical to that of myself (same price, same quantity etc) but for a different DP. What should I do now?

    • Debarshi, if you transfer money from your bank to Kite using payment gateway, this is the payment gateway providers charge. You can send an email to support, we will check if your email is captured correctly on NSE data base.

  146. Akshay says:

    I recently started using Kite and it is a friendly platform but I have an issue to be clarified..

    My demat + Trading account was opened nearly 1.5 months ago but I started using it after a month and in the DASHBOARD SECTION IT WAS SHOWING AVAILABLE MARGIN OF Rs. -3.78. why was it negative?

    On 21 April, I added Rs. 5000 to my account (available margin became 4.99k) and did an equity delivery trade and the AVAILABLE MARGIN left was Rs 620.18. But when I checked it on 26 April, my AVAILABLE MARGIN decreased and became Rs 614.

    It is decreasing by nearly 1 Rs per day. Why is it so??

    Hi Nithin/Team,

    First of all i want to thank you for clarifying all our questions. and i need one more clarifications.

    I wanted to start SIP in mutual fund. But I see is minimum amount is Rs 5000 but one of the your operator informed that, for first month it will go as lump sum and next month on wards we can invest min amount from Rs 500 ,till we wish.
    However,
    So next month on wards if i want to do SIP of Rs 500 on 10th and 24 of Every month ,how can I able to do it. ?
    As Currently I am seeing it on weekly or 15 days or monthly or quarterly. But I want to do two transaction one is on 10th and 2nd one is on 24th .Please do let me know how can I achieve it using Coin

    • Matti says:

      Hey Ajay, custom SIPs currently allow you to set up one date per month for investments. We’ll look into the possibility of making more dates possible. In the meantime, you can always run 2 SIPs parallelly for the same fund. 🙂

    I wanted to find out margin for 7500 put buy at 9300 and 7500 call buy at 9500 But the margin calculator is showing margin as 0 is it correct?

    • Akshay.A says:

      I’m assuming, you’re computing the margins to buy options which is why the calculator shows you the margins as N/A. This is because when you buy options, you’ve to pay the premium upfront which is always = Lot size* Premium amount.

      There are no margins charged separately for buying options.

  163. Vivek says:

    Hi,

    Zerodha is a great platform but quite a few issues recently are raising serious concern, please take this as constructive feedback to resolve asap.
    1. Yesterday at the time of market close, orders were not accepted by the kite app, which had negative monetary impact.
    2. A few days back as well, during the day, traders were not able to put orders for couple of hours which again had a big monetary impact.
    3. Q-Backoffice doesn’t show correct P&L for many of the selected periods. Despite raising it multiple times with support team, it is still not corrected.
    4. One of my trades on a particular day was not accounted by Zerodha including the profits. Initially support team did agree to this but when i persisted they found out the issue and corrected this. If i had not kept daily log of my trades, I would have lost on these profits. Data integrity should be given top priority.

    I believe, Zerodha is truely a great platform but these technical issues need to be resolved to have a loyal clientele who can trust Zerodha for their money.

  164. Mrs Dhavale says:

    The brokerage calculator (https://zerodha.com/brokerage-calculator) calculation of brokerage and actual brokerage charged per contract note varies. On a contact note of mine, I gained RS 874.78, whereas per brokerage calculator the figure works out to Rs 912. The Exchange transaction charges, stamp duty, Swacha Bharat cess and Krishi Kalyan Cess are not shown in above link. Can you pl incorporate in the above web page so that we will have definite idea of profit/loss after brokerage.

  165. Binoy says:

    I got a doubt, suppose 2 of us plan to increase the price of a stock in the exchange as below:

    I place sell order @ 100
    and my friend put buy order @100,

    while the stock is trading @90 will the trade gets executed & price of the stock hit high of 100 because of that single trade by us.
    Please consider this question as from a beginner stock trader…thanks a lot in advance

    • No your sell order will be stacked in priority. When your friends place a buy order at 100, it will be treated as market order and whoever is selling at 90 will get filled.

    Is the stamp duty applied for both selling and buying of shares ?

  173. Suyash Baderiya says:

    Hi Nithin,

    It really pains to write this.

    I placed an intraday MIS order at 3:16:37 to enter a long position. Since all orders squared off by Zerodha at 3:20 are charged with call and trade brokerage, I placed an order to exit that position, which got rejected at 3:19:34 saying “rms: auto square off block”. The position finally got squared of at 3:22:22. Moreover, I didnt get a postback for the auto square off trade. When I called customer support, this is what happened:

    1) Call 1: I was told that Zerodha puts a block at 3:18-3:19 and no orders are accepted beyond that point. She couldnt point to any public info. When I asked why should I pay for the mistake from Zerodha’s content team, she asked me to redial and press 1.
    2) Call 2: (This guy was very rude) As per instructions from previous call, I redialed and pressed 1 to get here. When I told this guy about the situation and asked the same question, he didnt listen to me and started talking in a loud voice WHILEI WAS SPEAKING (you cant expect this from customer support). Then he asked me to write a mail to support.

    This behavior from Zerodha support is not happening for the first time and has significantly reduced my trust in Zerodha. It’s not jjust about Rs. 20 (which I still want back) but about unprofessional behavior.

    – Suyash

  174. Tarun says:

    I registered for both NSE and Commodities when I opened the account but now when I put my order in MCX the orders are rejected with the msg “Client not registered” . Don’t you check with MCX that they have registered the client. I have been waiting since Monday morning when I raised the issue but stil I have not been able to place order in MCX. Ticket No . 476046.
    There is one more issue , when I try to save views in Kite it saves only one view the saved views disappear once I restart Kite. Pls look in this issue as I want to save different views for different commodities.

  179. Somenath says:

    Hi Nithin,

    I am very happy with Zerodha service except that I am missing a very basic functionality.

    SMSes.

    SMS for delivery traded positions. All brokers (well, most) send sms either realtime when a trade goes through or send it at end of day for all the trades that were triggered on exchange.

    Why does Zerodha not have such a basic feature. It is very much required.

    – Somenath

    • Venu says:

      Hi Somenath,

      The Exchanges today send SMS’s at the end of the day which is why we’ve stopped sending SMS’s. If you’ve placed an order through our dealing desk, you’ll receive an SMS upon the execution of the trade.

      Additionally, you always have the option of tracking your trades on the Kite mobile app.

    1. tools for marking demand/supply zone, like entry stoploss and target
    2. retracement tool , which is also used for marking the zones….. simple marking without colors where two lines will be drawn one as proximal and other as distal line

    any plans to have this tools in near term

    Dear sir, zerodha is very good for service that you are offering but still I am using Angel broking for just one reason as I am intraday trader and they are offering 40 times margin for Thier intraday product which makes good difference. I wish If you really start this product on your platform that would be really good thing for traders like us to join zerodha service.
    Thank you.

    I have created new account on Zerodha and for testing purpose bought SBIN in MIS – intraday. I saw that for SBIM the margin is 14 times. I bought only 1 stock qty so I should have got 14 stock qty but as I checked the position it says only 1 qty was bought. Also I sold the stock and Rs 0.7 profit, so I should have earned Rs 0.7 * 14 = Rs 9.8 but that did not happen. Am I missing something?

    • Ah it doesn’t work like that. If SBI is at Rs 300, if you have Rs 1000 in your account, you will get to buy for Rs 14000 of SBI. You will get 0.7*14 only if you had bought 14 shares and not 1 share.

    Hello sir. I appreciate for your services which you are providing. I just have one suggestion that can you increase the intraday margin atleast on nifty 50 stocks. I have account in zerodha but for trading purpose I am still using other broker. I hope that many traders will appreciate your next move regarding this.
    Thank you

    • Onkar, as a broker offering higher leverage increases the risk in the business. Also as a trader, I can tell you with all the data I have that people who take lesser leverage are the most profitable.

  206. Swati says:

    Hello Nitin,

    I have been using Zerodha for past couple of years and have used other platforms for more than 8 years. I have been noticing for sometime that whenever I put market orders (100 out of 100 times), it always execute at couple of points less (for buy order) and more (for sell orders). So for example if the market rate as flashing on the screen is lets say Rs 200 my sell order would execute at around 198.X or 197.X but certainly never closer to 200 or at 200 but if I put the limit order it will execute at that price.

    Quite surprised how come you always gets executed on the lower side of market even when liquidity spread is not high and when even after execution the market price as shown on screen is higher than your execution price. Am I missing something ?

    • hmm.. can’t be happening Swati unless the bid/ask has that Rs 1 or Rs 2 spread.

      • Swati says:

        Unfortunately it is happening, even I initially questioned myself several times that it can’t be true but now fairly convinced. I have significant experience into Technology and have run Electronic Trading Capital Markets for large global bank. Today only while trading on BEML, FUT the price was at 1800 when I executed the order at market price, the order got executed at 1798.2. I guess BEML is fairly liquid. Could there be a possibility that the internal system while putting the order into exchange is tinkering with the price to prioritize the execution ? Or there is some latency on the price which shows up vs the actual price. If possible I would strongly encourage your testing team or you yourself to try out at your end.

        • Venu says:

          As brokers we only provide clients a platform to place orders. Order matching and subsequent execution based on available bid/ask prices happens at the Exchange end. The OMS that we use for sending out orders is from Thomson Reuters who is probably the biggest in the context of the Indian markets. There can’t be latency in the prices that show up, cos if it did, it would have affected a larger set of our clients. Slippage is the only explanation that I can think of, however since you always have the option of placing a limit order, it’s best to place one.

  207. ONKAR says:

    HELLO NITIN SIR,

    First of all thank you for your replies. being a customer of your great services I have one suggestion to make it more convenient for all of us. can you add price alert feature in kite. as a trader we have to always look on Pc or laptop for price changing or lets say pivot point touch but if you add the feature where we can set the alert at a particular price or lets say R1,R2,R3 – S1,S2,S3. that would be really good for us. I guess Investing.com have this feature (but kite is just awsome). it will be very helpful for us.
    Thank you.

    Dear Nithin/team,

    Would you please let me know if there is an option to sell stocks of a company (e.g. Infosys buyback offer coming up) in a buyback offer online via the Kite portal?

    If not, what’s the procedure to follow in Zerodha?

    Your reply would be really appreciated.

    Thanks,

    I tried to buy Banknifty24aug1723900PE. But the order got rejected with below message.
    Status
    REJECTED
    Status message
    RMS:Rule: Option Strike price based on Ltp percentage for entity account-ZB9950 across exchange across segment across product

    Please let me know, why order rejected. and In which other way I can purchase it ?

    • Venu says:

      There is a restriction on Banknifty options strikes range due to a violation of broker level open interest of 15%. The range for today, Thursday, 24 Aug 2017 is 1.3%. You can trade option strikes plus or minus 1.3% from this ltp, which is +/- 300 points. If you’re placing a trade for a strike outside this range, your order is bound to get rejected.

      Refer to this NSE link for more explanation on open interest violations.

    thanks zerodha keep up the great work

  213. raj says:

    I have just started trading with zerodha after switching from another broker.I find two things really lacking:-

    1.In the q back office in ledger there is no way to check the internals of the daily F&O obligation amount i.e the mark to market scriptwise, unless i login to archaic bo in internet explorer which most of the time gives errors.Cant you provide an option in the ledger itself.Even logging to email will be time consuming.

    2.Secondly,open positions do not get updated till the next day..is there any option to view with the closing rate atleast till late evening?

    Hopefully these basic but valuable things provided by other brokers can be resolved without me shifting back.

    • Venu says:

      1. The contract note emailed to your everyday is a contract note cum bill and explains to you the basis of the amounts posted on your ledger. The MTM & the charges are present on this contract note.

      2. You can check open positions on backoffice on Q here.

      • raj says:

        In the emailed contract notes for futures position the MTM is shown on daily basis but when the position is squared off on that day there is no calculation and it has to be done manually by comparing the turnovers from the previous day.Also the emails do not come on the same day as the time as the “fno obligation amount “is shown in ledger and thus no confirmation and calculation can be done from our side till very late.

        Secondly,open positions in Q do not get reflected till the next day also. So at the end of the
        trading day or late night also if you click in open positions for the current date it will show as “No open positions” even though there are positions.

    Hi Nithin,

    I am facing one issue in KITE/Q-backoffice tool.
    I have transferred my previous Demat account to Zerodha with all my holdings transferred.
    I have edited Buying Price for my Holdings because Buying price was not available as holdings got transferred. I have sold my SPICEJET Holding through Kite and it is available in my P/L Report in Q tool.

    Now I have bought SPICEJET but it is not showing the correct Buying Price. What I should do to get correct Buy price show in Q and Kite both.

    Hi,

    I insist to my friends, relatives to open account in zerodha. But in the past few days i had bad experience with Zerodha service in account opening. Whatever issue with the account opening kindly communicate with the respective people on immediate basis so they can try resolving. But i found no communication from your end.

    For example – Kavi Choudhari completed all formalities but till date no update. Kavi choudhari called you regarding account opening but no response from you side. These guys already paid fees, account opening documentation.

    I do not know what is the problem. All leads provided by me is genuine. They are ready to open account with zerodha. they paid your fees, documentation etc but….. They are so much busy in their work so they do not have much time. They are ready to help you in documentation but need your support. Kindly communicate the issue with them through email, phone. Update them on regular basis if there is any issue in account opening form.

    @Nithin, My client id is ZV1748. I gave around 4 to 5 genuine leads in last month who already paid account opening fees also. But till date account is not open. Even they do not know the status of account. Today i received call from my friend and they asked me Zerodha account status. They said” Very bad service from Zerodha in account opening”. I really feel very bad. Even i do not have much time to write such long email but…… anyway..

    I am expecting little bit more service from Zerodha. I hope so… else zerodha will lose good leads

However, the average price of my share is now Rs. 146.75. Suppose i sell those additional 210 shares of TFCI on monday @ Rs 146 with margin of Rs 3.95 each share (Rs 146-Rs142.05), then what will be correct margin/profit? Will i get the profit/loss on average price or on the basis of Rs 142.05 ?

    Hello Nithin,

    I have been using Kite for couple of years now and often trade into F&O. I have found an issue and this is the 4th time, I have the same precise issue. When squaring off a future position, if I update an already placed order multiple times (the order price is no where close to the current market price), system keeps the copy of stale order and executes it without showing that order on the screen. Can you please raise this concern to your quality assurance team and look into the problem. As I said this is the 4th time I ended up in a short position without I explicitly placing it, the sort position got created because of updating an existing square off position.

    • sharmila says:

      Can I get an answer for this?

      • Matti says:

        BO in stock options is not allowed as a risk management measure Sharmila. This is because the stoploss order in BO is an SLM order and this could lead to a rather large impact cost in illiquid stock option contracts.

    Hello Team,

    I have some on-going Direct MF SIPs on the Zerodha Coin Platform. As far as I know these are being invested in the AMCs as lumpsum investments by Zerodha. So, just wanted to know what happens if these AMCs stop lump sum investments in MFs after their AUM cross a particular threshold, as quite a few of them are doing at the moment. What would be the status of my currently invested MFs and what steps would Zerodha take to ensure continuity of the SIPs?

  259. Prashant Sonawane says:

    Hello Nitin,

    I am a user of kite as well as coin. Recently purchased the mutual funds worth Rs. 40000 via coin, in 4 MF, and planned to make the similar purchases every month. But I am facing some issues due to which I am very much disappointed and really worried about the security of my investment.

    1. I think Zerodha, as part of my purchase, sent my KYC details to CkycIndia. CKycIndia sent an email to for confirmation of my kyc containing my details. To my surprise, the kyc details that you have sent to them was not correct. The details are mine but the *photograph* was not. You ask for all details, including photo, pan card aadhar number and etc then how can you make such a big mistake to attach the photograph of some other person. When contacted CKYC then mentioned that only zerodha can file the kyc again and they cannot do anything from their side.

    I filed the ticket on 13th Dec 17 but there is no response yet.

    2. Though coin web site mentions that you have allocated the MF but I did not received any mail from AMC on confirmation. Am I not suppose to expect confirmation emails from fund houses? Is there any other way, apart from coin, to know that I am really invested in said mutual funds?

    Please resolve my issues soon.

    Thanks.

    Can anyone please bother to take into my query. I filed the ticket on 13th and still there is no response. Neither on this forum I am getting any response.

    I am a user of kite as well as coin. Recently purchased the mutual funds worth Rs. 40000 via coin, in 4 MF, and planned to make the similar purchases every month. But I am facing some issues due to which I am very much disappointed and really worried about the security of my investment.

    1. I think Zerodha, as part of my purchase, sent my KYC details to CkycIndia. CKycIndia sent an email to for confirmation of my kyc containing my details. To my surprise, the kyc details that you have sent to them was not correct. The details are mine but the *photograph* was not. You ask for all details, including photo, pan card aadhar number and etc then how can you make such a big mistake to attach the photograph of some other person. When contacted CKYC then mentioned that only zerodha can file the kyc again and they cannot do anything from their side.

    I filed the ticket on 13th Dec 17 but there is no response yet.

    2. Though coin web site mentions that you have allocated the MF but I did not received any mail from AMC on confirmation. Am I not suppose to expect confirmation emails from fund houses? Is there any other way, apart from coin, to know that I am really invested in said mutual funds?

    Thanks.

    Heyy Nitin Sir,
    Why leverage for MIS is different for every stock ??
    I mean if even in worst case loss would be recovered from client allocated cash. There are situations when a good profitable stock is not available or available on low leverage.
    Is it possible to provide flat leverage on every stock ???

    • Matti says:

      Deepak, the leverage afforded to any stock is determined by the RMS team based on various parameters, like liquidity, volatility, etc.,. Also, whenever leverage is afforded for a stock, there is a chance that the loss the client runs may be more than what he has in his account. The broker always runs this risk while giving leverage, and so does thorough math before affording any leverage.

      For e.g., let’s assume stock X costs Rs. 100 and is afforded 14 x leverage. So, with 100 rupees in your account, you can purchase stocks worth 1400 rupees. Let us also assume that the circuit limit for this stock is 20%. So, if the stock suddenly falls 20%, the loss here is Rs. 20 * 14 = Rs. 280 (1.8 times more than the money in your account). Now, this would lead to a debit on your account. So, in order to make sure a scenario like this doesn’t arise, the leverage multipliers are different for each stock.

    Dear Sir, i want know that at the time of deep OTP selling in Bank nifty, order is rejected every time due to RMS rule. I have asked to zerodha support team, they are telling that every day they have some range for bank nifty. trade will execute only within that range only and the range will change as per the volatility of bank nifty.
    I want to know that
    1.how can i trade in this boundary condition. If i want to make a position for next expiry date then what will be the range for that?
    2. What is the procedure to know the range ? its very difficult to call the support center everyday to know the range.
    3.How i can make a position for 4-5 days in bank nifty with daily basis range? today may be the range is 1 % for low volatility and with in this range if i make o position in option selling but if tomorrow the volatility will very high then i will loss my all the money in option selling. What is the solution for this?
    Please give your valuable feedback.
