Trade Smarter & Faster with Direct Execution from the Charts on Upstox Pro Web

What is this feature?

This feature enables users to trade directly from the chart, reducing the gap between analysis and execution. Users can place instant market orders, quickly select quantities, modify limit orders, reverse existing open positions with one click, monitor their P&L, and close positions directly from the chart. This functionality enhances trading speed and efficiency without the need to switch to the order form. A toggle switch will enable instant market orders for any trade placed directly from the chart.

Why is this feature important?

  • Users currently analyse candles on charts but need to switch to the watchlist to place a “buy” or “sell” order, which introduces delays and can cause missed opportunities, especially in volatile markets.

  • The inability to place market orders directly at the desired LTP (Last Traded Price) often results in missed optimal entry/exit points.

  • Reversing a trade currently requires multiple steps, leading to delays in executing the reversal.

  • Users cannot place limit orders directly from the chart at support or resistance levels, even though the chart shows these key levels.

  • Switching between the chart and Positions tab to monitor trade quantities and unrealized P&L reduces efficiency (as you can see in video below - before the feature was released)

  • Lack of a clear overview of position types (Delivery or Intraday), trade quantities, and unrealized P&L leads to confusion and slower decision-making.

Why is this feature important now?
This feature was one of the most requested by users, and with the growing popularity of Options & Futures trading via Charts, especially scalping (quick entry and exit), it becomes essential for fast execution and quicker decision-making based on chart candles.

Who is this feature for?
The feature primarily targets F&O Intraday Traders and Intraday Equity Traders.

How does this feature help you be a better trader or investor?

  • Increased Trading Power: Enables users to trade faster and more precisely.
  • Seize Opportunities: Users can act quickly on market opportunities without waiting for order form inputs. And hence avoiding lengthy process
  • Flexibility: Allows for better decision-making and faster execution.
