My Vision for a "Zero-Restriction" Fully Modular Terminal on Dhan

Hi @Dhan Team, I am writing this as a dedicated user who wants to see Dhan become the world’s most flexible broker. Even with the new DEXT, we feel restricted by a fixed framework. I want to propose a terminal that is a Blank Canvas—where the user is the absolute master. Here is my vision in detail:

1. The ‘Dead Pixel’ Theory (Complete UI Freedom): Imagine a TV screen with one dead pixel—it ruins the entire experience. In trading, any fixed element (Logos, ‘Account Manager’ labels, or unmovable bars) that a trader doesn’t use is a ‘dead pixel’. It distracts focus. I want the power to move, rename, or DELETE any part of the terminal. No restrictions, NEVER.

2. Modular Layout & Corner Resizing (Drag & Drop): Features like Scalper Mode, Super Mode, Option Chain, or Chart Repeat should not be fixed boxes. They should be ‘Widgets’ that I can drag anywhere on the screen. Most importantly, I should be able to grab the corners and resize them (just like a PC window). If I want a giant Option Chain and a tiny Chart, let me do it.

3. Human Memory Shortcuts (Custom Hotkeys): Fixed keys like F2/F3 don’t match every trader’s muscle memory. Every hand is set differently. I should be able to map ANY key for ANY action. For example, using ‘1’ to Buy and ‘Enter’ to Sell. Speed comes from comfort, not from rigid rules.

4. Instant ‘Live Report’ (The End of Support Calls): When a trade gets stuck or a technical glitch happens, we don’t have time to record screens or wait on long support calls. We need a ‘Live Report’ button on the terminal. One click should instantly send my terminal’s live data logs to your tech team. You should see what I am seeing in real-time, so the issue is fixed without me explaining anything.

5. YouTube-Style Live Community Chat: Trading is lonely. I want a Live Chat feature integrated directly into the terminal where all Dhan traders can connect, share views, and help each other in real-time—just like a YouTube Live stream. We can talk to other traders (strangers) and build a real community while trading. Of course, with an ‘On/Off’ toggle for focus.

6. The ‘Permanent’ Save & Rename: Once I build my perfect layout, I want a ‘Save’ button that I can place anywhere and rename however I want (e.g., ‘My Master Setup’). Once saved, the terminal should open exactly like that every single time, across all sessions, until I decide to change it.

Dhan Team, we don’t want a terminal built FOR us; we want a terminal that we can build FOR OURSELVES. What do you think?

Hi @U.S, thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful vision. We truly appreciate the effort you’ve put into explaining each aspect.

• We’ve noted your suggestion around making DEXT T3 more customizable and flexible. Currently, you can adjust layouts and resize widgets as per your preference, and we’ll continue enhancing this experience further.

• On custom shortcut keys, we are sticking with the current set for now to maintain consistency, though we understand your point on personalisation.

• Your ideas around a Live Report button for instant issue sharing, integrated support, and community chat within the terminal have been noted for evaluation.

• We’ve also taken note of your suggestions on complete UI control, removable elements, and permanent save and rename of layouts.

Appreciate you taking the time to share this in such depth.
