What's in the app
Everything on this page is in the current Android app. Where the app works differently from a real broker, we say so.

Prices and charts
In the app, prices come from NSE, BSE and MCX as they trade, so when HDFC Bank moves on results day, it moves in the app too. When a market is shut, you see its last close.
Search
Find a company by its name or NSE ticker. Old names work too, so Zomato still finds Eternal.
Charts
Line or candlestick charts for shares, indices and commodities, from one day to five years.

Orders and charges
Every order shows where it stands: pending, filled, cancelled or rejected. Intraday orders that haven't filled are cancelled at 3:20 pm (on MCX, shortly before the evening close), and delivery orders stay open until they fill or you cancel them.
Market and limit orders
A market order fills straight away at the latest price. A limit order fills only at your price or better, and waits until then.
Stop-loss and stop-loss limit
A stop-loss sends a market order once the price crosses your trigger. A stop-loss limit sends a limit order instead, which caps the price but may not fill.

Trailing stop
A stop whose trigger follows the price by the gap you set, and fires when the price turns back by that gap.
Orders after hours
Place an order when the market is shut and it waits for the next session. The app knows weekends and NSE holidays.
Charges
Each trade's charges come off your balance the way a contract note lists them, so the P&L you see is after costs.

Where a stop-loss sits
F&O and commodities
Index and stock futures and options trade in the exchange's lot sizes. A futures buy blocks a fixed share of the contract's value as margin, as Diagram 3 shows; a broker's margin changes with each contract and with volatility.
Futures
Buy a contract for a later date and sell it to close. Contracts still open at expiry are settled for you.
Options
Buy calls and puts on indices and stocks from the option chain for each expiry.

Commodities
Gold, silver, crude oil and other MCX contracts, bought by the unit.
Selling short
Not available. You sell only what you hold, so there's no short selling and no option writing.

What margin blocks

Holdings and positions

One button on a position opens its closing order with the quantity filled in.
