The Upstox Scalper tool truly has great potential. It’s fast, intuitive, and clearly built with the intention of helping scalpers execute quick trades. For pure entry speed, it’s fantastic.
But despite all of that, the tool becomes practically unusable in real trading conditions because of one major limitation:
There is no built-in support for SL, TSL, or Target placement.
Scalping requires instant decision-making and automated risk management, and without these features the entire purpose gets defeated. A single big opposite-direction injection candle can wipe out a position within fractions of a second—and right now, there is no quick way to exit or automatically protect the trade.
Why not implement features similar to 1Cliq?
1Cliq already allows traders to predefine:
-
Stop Loss
-
Trailing Stop Loss
-
Target
If similar functionality is added to Scalper, it would become a complete, safe, and practical tool for real scalping scenarios.
Current Issue
The Scalper is great in concept, but seems to have been built without the mindset of a true scalper. Scalpers rely on:
-
Precision
-
Speed
-
Automatic risk control
Without SL/TSL/Target integration, consistency in performance is impossible. Traders are forced to manually manage exits, which is not feasible in fast markets.
At this point, it risks becoming a high-effort development for a tool that traders cannot consistently rely on, simply because the essential risk-management layer is missing.
