Order window Updates: Quick Order Window, Amount, and Lot Switch – Zerodha Feature Announcements – beragampengetahuan – Beragampengetahuan

To make the order placement experience easier on Kite, we have added two new features; Quick order window and an option to switch between quantity, amount, and lots.

Quick order window:

The Quick Order Window is designed to streamline the trading experience by providing only the essential fields needed to place an order swiftly. This feature focuses on quantity and limit/market order type, allowing you to execute trades without the need to see through additional options. The regular product type is still available for those who need other settings.

If the ‘Intraday’ option is not selected, the order will default to CNC for Equities and NRML for F&O. By simply selecting ‘Set a price’ or ‘Remove price’, you can easily toggle between these two order types (Market and Limit).

The preference will be remembered as per the previous selection.

Quantity/Lots/Amount Switch:

In equity trading, we’re offering the flexibility to choose between quantity and amount, eliminating the need for manual calculations. Simply input the preferred amount and corresponding price, and the system will take care of the rest, automatically determining the number of shares to be bought or sold. This feature is currently available for CNC (Longterm) in equity trading.

Note: If the price is changed in the open orders, then the quantity will be adjusted according to the new amount.

For NFO and BFO, you can now toggle between quantity and lots. Someone who trades in the F&O segment knows how cumbersome it is to calculate quantities manually, especially if one is trading large volumes, as each script in the F&O segment has a different lot size. This feature is accessible for both NRML (overnight) and MIS (intraday) product types.

Note: The next time you open the order window, the preference will be remembered as per the previous selection.

Hey is it possible to set some kind of a default quantity / default lots size?
Its slightly time consuming to enter the quantity manually every time because it starts from 1. Assume I trade non directional, I have to adjust multiple times a day. If the order window remembers the default quantity then it will prefill and save lot of time in editing the orders

Particularly very impactful near the 3pm averaging time where options go 2x 3x
