Introducing: DEXT T3 - The Trading Terminal | The Modern Day Terminal for Traders

Hello Traders :waving_hand:

At Dhan, we have always built trading experiences that are truly MadeForTrade. Whether it’s our seamless mobile app, feature-rich web platform, or powerful Dhan Charts, one thing has remained constant: our deep focus on traders.

From day one, traders have been at the centre of everything we build. Every chart, control, and speed upgrade has had one goal - to make trading better, faster, and simpler for you.

Before the era of browser-based, sleek web apps, trading began on heavy, local terminals. These .exe or .dmg files were battle stations for serious traders, packed with power, speed, and custom layouts. But they came with trade offs: system compatibility, limited updates, and inflexibility. Compatibility & regular upgrades were solved by browser-based platforms. These were lightweight, device-independent, and accessible. But even they came with their own limits, tabs clashing with spreadsheets, no multi-window setups, and often, lower customizability.

What if you could combine the power of classic terminals with the flexibility of modern trading tech? Yes, this is what we have built up for you.

Introducing: DEXT T3 - The All-New Trading Terminal by Dhan.

DEXT T3 is a fully downloadable trading terminal for Windows (.exe) and Mac (.dmg). Built from the ground up for performance, it offers a blank canvas approach to trading that gives users complete freedom to design their ideal trading setup. Here are the links of DEXT T3 to download:

Mac - https://terminal-dext.dhan.co/Dext.dmg

DEXT T3 is built for Super traders, options traders managing multiple strikes, and anyone who wants to build their custom layout that matches their trading style.

Classic terminals were loved for one thing: speed.

DEXT T3 brings that back with 40+ keyboard shortcuts, allowing you to trade faster, react quicker, and operate without breaking your flow.

DEXT T3 also comes with some features that go beyond what most platforms offer:

This terminal is purpose-built for super and power traders who demand a high-performance, native experience; options traders who work with multi-strike views and need focused workspaces; strategy-first traders who rely on layout flexibility and custom setups; and those who thrive with multi-screen configurations without browser limitations slowing them down.

It’d be nice if you show (-) sign in front of qty for short legs just like on web it shows a negative sign for short legs and normal for long positions.

@PravinJ @Dhan Awesome stuff! :100:

DEXT web is being blocked when accessed from static IP. :cry:
This has been a recurring problem with many of Dhan’s satellite services, thankfully access to core dhan web is not being blocked anymore. :relieved_face:

Please release a generic tarball for Linux as it has more users in India than even macOS. :penguin:
A distro-agnostic packaging format like flatpak may be considered in the future for easier installation. :white_check_mark:

Feedback (Website):

  • Honorable mentions - Fluid widgets with tabs (in any way!), predefined layouts and an option to hide PnL & balance.
  • Price ladder:
    • Multiple price ladders are not allowed!
    • No option to hide empty prices.
    • No option to see available volume at a price.
    • No auto centering.
  • Time and sales:
    • Unable to see historical intraday data, even the aggregate data can help.
    • Time does not showing seconds.
  • Multiple instances of a widget is not allowed. Multiple price ladders even with 30 depth would be great!
  • Font size is not uniform across widgets. Pressing (CTRL + -) is not decreasing the font size of all widgets uniformly.
  • Market depth is showing only 5 levels. At least 30 could be enabled.
  • ETF widget / “High Margin Benefit” option. A column to see Margin % could really help.
  • Trending and Movers widgets can be merged into a single one. Added both and getting confused in drop down options.

LIVE SCANNER NOT WORKING on DEXT T3​:disappointed_face:

Using Dext T3 on browser vs desktop

What will be the major difference ?

Please guide if someone has experience .

@PravinJ Happy to see Dhan team is still innovating and trying to offer something unique to traders. Will try and experience dext t3 different layouts in upcoming days. Providing this on MAC is a huge plus point.

One of my suggestion will be that you should do a order execution speed test of DEXT vs other brokers platforms (if sebi allows this or there is no legality concern). It will be a good transparent move to show how DEXT is better in real time in comparison to others.

We have noted your suggestions @magicpoison @pavinjoseph @DSingh

@devil_trader we will discuss this internally to check, if such comparision is possible.

During all kind of negativity around us (War after war, global market meltdown, historic energy crisis, AI disruptions, climate change and what not), I believe DEXT T3 has brought a positive vibe to all the traders…a new possibility… a retail weapon for trading battleground.

I couldn’t hold myself to install DEXT T3 last night itself and I appreciate the effort Dhan Team has put behind the scene. Thanks for your innovation, hard work and dedication. I’m sure Dhan will become the best broker in India soon…just 9 more steps to ride. Thanks to every community member who has played their role to provide continuous feedback which is crucial to make every product better everyday.

I started playing around with DEXT T3 and loving it so far…my initial feedback as follows

Wishlist:

  1. If possible allow duplicate (with limit like 3 times max) widget to add in same layout. (e.g. One Movers widget will show top gainers, another movers widget will show top losers. No need to change the dropdown)
  2. Missing a widget for Forever Orders.

Bugs:

  1. Trending widget - If I add “name” column, whenever I switch to “Most Searched”, columns are defaulted to few columns only and name column is getting removed. After that other dropdowns like Most Bought and Most Sold are also showing default columns only, all the added columns are getting reset.
  2. Heatmap widget - this widget was working fine last night but in live market it is showing blank.

Thanks and Regards

This is great!… Why can’t you have a simple option of arrow up or down on watchlist will load the selected chart from watch list. Currently I need to double click using a mouse on the symbol or select it and then press F8. It is two step. Simply selecting a symbol in watchlist will load the chart will be a great experience like TV.

@Ranjith_Kumar_S Watch Part 2 YouTube Video mentioned in the first post. There is an option to link the widgets dynamically using color code. You don’t need to load chart or any other widget manually.
