Zerodha kite order window features have received a major upgrade aimed at improving the trading experience for millions of users across India. Announced by Zerodha’s CEO Nithin Kamath via X, the new features are now available on the Kite web platform, with a mobile app rollout coming soon.
These updates are focused on automating complex tasks, improving real-time visibility, and introducing protective mechanisms to avoid unexpected losses.
Key Zerodha Kite Order Window Features Introduced
1. Order Slicing
2. Real-Time Margin & Market Depth View
3. Remember F&O Order Quantity
4. Market Protection
5. New Basket Icon for Multi-Instrument Orders
6. Smoother UI Integration
The latest update introduces six core improvements designed to streamline trading operations, particularly for active traders and F&O participants.
1. Order Slicing
To tackle exchange freeze quantity limits, Kite now includes an automated order slicing feature. It breaks large trades into smaller, permissible quantities automatically. This means users no longer need to manually divide their orders. However, brokerage charges will apply to each executed slice.
“No need for manual intervention while placing large orders—Kite will handle it automatically,” Kamath explained.
2. Real-Time Margin & Market Depth View
Traders can now instantly view available margin and market depth from the order window itself, eliminating the need to hover or navigate to a separate screen. This enhances transparency and speeds up the order execution process.
3. Remember F&O Order Quantity
Kite now remembers the quantity entered for any F&O contract (index, stock, commodity, or currency). This saves time for frequent traders who place repetitive orders.
4. Market Protection
The market protection feature guards against price volatility. If an order’s execution price falls outside the defined protection range, the platform converts it into a limit order, ensuring it doesn’t execute at unexpectedly high or low prices.
“Your order executes like a market order within the defined range. Outside it, it stays pending as a limit order,” Zerodha clarified.
5. New Basket Icon for Multi-Instrument Orders
The platform now includes a Basket icon accessible from anywhere on the interface. This allows users to quickly build and execute multi-instrument orders, improving speed and efficiency for those who trade multiple instruments at once.
6. Smoother UI Integration
These updates come with a refreshed, intuitive user interface that simplifies navigation and reduces friction in placing orders—particularly helpful for new traders using Zerodha for the first time.
When Will These Features Come to the Mobile App?
While currently live on the web platform, Zerodha has confirmed that these features will soon be rolled out to the Kite mobile app, extending the convenience to on-the-go traders.
