Streamlined for Speed: Meet Your New, Smarter Order Form

We’ve all been there: you spot an opportunity, the market is moving, and every tap counts. Placing an order should be a seamless part of your strategy.

We’re always looking for ways to refine your trading experience, and we saw a clear opportunity to make the entire process faster and more intuitive. We found that the vast majority of trades are Market or Limit orders, so we asked ourselves: “How can we make this core action as fast and as effortless as possible?” Our previous order form was robust, but we saw a path to make it even better.

A Clearer Path to Your Trade

Welcome to the new order form. The first thing you’ll notice is that the main view is simpler. We’ve streamlined the options to focus on the key decision most traders make: “Do I want to trade at the Market price or set my own Limit price?”

Instead of multiple buttons, we’ve evolved this into a simple, lightning-fast toggle right next to the price field.

Want to place a Market order? Just tap the switch. The price field locks, and you’re ready. Need to set a precise limit? Tap it again. This small change makes your most common workflow incredibly fast, reducing taps and helping you focus on your trade.

“So… Where Did My Stop-loss Go?”

We’ve cleaned the order form for the most common trades, whilst making advanced orders like Stop-loss more logical and accessible—they’re now just one tap away. You’ll find a clear, simple + Stop-loss option right on the main screen.

This new flow is a win for everyone:

  • For New Investors: It makes risk management more discoverable. It’s no longer a complex “order type” but a simple, optional add-on to your main order.
  • For Active Traders: Your main screen is now cleaner for fast Market/Limit orders, and your Stop-loss is still just one tap away. This aligns with our goal to make powerful risk management tools easier to use.

Meet Your New Co-Pilot: The Smart Keyboard

We didn’t just redesign the form; we re-imagined the entire workflow. Why should you move your thumb all over the screen to check Market Depth when you’re busy setting a price?

We’ve built a new Smart Keyboard that puts all your essential tools right at your fingertips.

Market Depth, Built-In: Tap the ‘Depth’ tab right on the keyboard to see live bids and asks without ever leaving your order.

  • Tap-to-Fill Price: See a price you like in the Market Depth? Just tap that bid or ask, and it will automatically fill your Limit price field. No more typing.
  • Quick-Steppers: Use the + and - buttons at the top of the keyboard to nudge your price or quantity by the minimum tick, perfect for fine-tuning.
  • Built for Everyone: We’ve even added an ambidextrous mode. Just tap the switcher icon to move the numpad for comfortable, one-handed trading.

A Faster, Smarter, Simpler Experience

This update is more than a visual refresh; it’s a strategic refinement designed to save you time and help you trade with greater confidence.

The new order form is being rolled out to users, beginning with Android devices. It will be available on iOS and Pro Web shortly thereafter. We’re excited for you to experience it. Jump into the app, try the new flow, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Kindly introduce VWAP in the order form as shown below -

Also, bring the Remember F&O choice feature like zerodha where for f&o contracts, the quantity is auto filled based on the last successful order, more like defaults and much better than the default quantity feature.

Hi @SRIKANTH_1216659

Thank you for the detailed feedback!

We really appreciate your suggestions regarding:

  • VWAP Integration: Displaying VWAP directly inside the order form.
  • Remember F&O Choice: Auto-filling quantity based on the last successful order (sticky quantity).

These are definitely valid points that would improve trading speed and usability. We will evaluate the feasibility of these features and look into incorporating them into our product roadmap.

We will keep you posted on the progress. Thanks for helping us build a better Upstox!
