Dhan web console should reduce number of clicks

I have been using dhan console for a while , but it seems from user experience perspective , dhan should consider decreasing the number of clicks to show various actions / pages . Like showing charts from order book . There is no direct option to do that, Similarly i have felt in various places of console, certain options can be accessed via single click rather then clicking 3-4 times .

When you are trading this becomes sometimes irritating ,when trying to switch between multiple tabs to access some feature .

Another suggestion could be to have 2 versions of web console … like lite version with minimal options (pardon me if it already exists ) and other could be the current web console.

I hope my feedback can help in improving user experience .

This has been mentioned multiple times to team however it always gets buried and forgotten. It is only at acknowledgement stage. And now with the news.of sebi looking to reduce retail participation to “save” retailers from losses, discount brokers have even less motivation to push for app improvement

General Feedback on Dhan Web App:

Types of Traders:

  1. Intraday Traders (Scalpers / Position Holders):
  • Daily 5+ trades.
  1. Strictly Position Holders:
  • Less than 5 trades.
  1. Investment Traders / Overnight Holders:
  • 1-3 trades.

User Interface and Performance:

  1. App Performance:
  • The Dhan web app seems a bit heavy.
  • Noticeable loading delays and lags when opening new tabs or options.
  • The heavy data display contributes to the perceived lag.
  1. Separate Modes for Traders:
  • Consider having two console modes: one for intraday traders and another for others.
  • Excessive information displayed simultaneously complicates decision-making.
  1. Font and Visuals:
  • Font colors are dull compared to the background.
  • Improve contrast for better readability.
  • Clearer element boundaries are needed.

UI/UX Improvements:

  1. Relevant Information for Intraday Traders:
  • The watchlist tab is redundant with the watchlist already on the left side.
  • Options like watchlist sharing are rarely used (once or twice a day, if at all).
  • Consider moving the “manage watchlist” option to the gear settings.
  1. Empty Placeholders:
  • Avoid showing options with no relevant data (e.g., no open positions).
  • Unnecessary placeholders cause excessive scrolling.
  1. Order Screen Enhancements:
  • Include Buy/Sell/chart options for all orders on the order screen.
  • Simplify the process to view candlestick pattern charts directly.
  1. Watchlist Functionality:
  • Clicking on watchlisted scripts should open the candlestick pattern chart directly.
  1. Option Chain Segment:
  • Clicking a scrip should add it directly to the selected watchlist on the left side, without repeatedly selecting the watchlist.
  1. Screen Differentiation:
  • The “Positions” and “Order” screens look similar, causing confusion.
  • Clear differentiation is needed between these screens.

Additional Considerations:

  1. Separate Console for Seasoned Traders:
  • Provide a console with only relevant information and a minimalist design for seasoned traders.
  1. App Perception:
  • The Dhan web console feels more like a financial app than a trading app.
  • Despite its good features, the user interface could be cleaner.
  1. Competitor Comparison:
  • Users switching from Zerodha seek a similarly clean UI.
  • Android app is harder to understand; consider a separate app for traders.
  1. Usage Analytics:
  • Conduct analytics to identify the most and least used tabs.
  • Use this data to refine the minimalist version of the Dhan app.
