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

[U.S]

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.

[U.S]

Thanks a lot @Mohseen_Usmani!

It’s truly great to see that you’ve addressed each of my points so thoroughly. I am incredibly excited about these features! I truly believe that once this vision is implemented on Dhan, it’s going to be a super-level experience for all traders.

Really looking forward to seeing this become a reality. Cheers!

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?

Great thought. Probably we can do this by paying Rs 499 a month(recurring) and take a $60 subscription of Claude Code for a month to build it ourselves .

[U.S]

Haha, good one! But the goal is to have a broker so flexible that we don’t even need to write a single line of code. If Dhan gives us the ‘Blank Canvas’, we’ll be the architects, not just the coders. Let’s hope they make it that simple for us!

@U.S My point is that it would have been thought when Dext T3 was being planned. There were comparisons done with Groww’s 915 and so on. A dynamic layout with its complexities are far more challenging compared to giving a predefined layout or widgets. Its a tradeoff between how economical it is for the broker to give these features vs actual net profits its going to generate. When you keep a track of this thread and see when it would be delivered is when you realise the tradeoff.

[U.S]

You’re absolutely right! At the end of the day, it’s all about business and profit margins. Brokers usually stick to what’s easy to build and profitable.

But I feel that if we as traders don’t push for better tools, they’ll never even try to innovate. Let’s see if Dhan actually breaks the mold or just sticks to the basics. Let’s wait and watch!

Well I had asked for an alert on ray long long back which is still pending. This is a feature which TradingView already gives and alot of trendline traders use it but no signs of it in Dhan. We had alerts go up to 250, have technical alerts and now Dhan has put Notifications on Dhan alerts but absolutely no sign of Ray alerts . Hence I am mentioning it from experience.

[U.S]

I hear you, Nitish. Coming from 6 years of trading experience myself, I’ve realized that building something truly solid—whether it’s a trading strategy or a platform feature—takes immense time and patience.

While small updates like ‘Ray Alerts’ are necessary, my vision for a ‘Modular Terminal’ is about creating a long-term solution for every type of trader (Scalpers, Swing, or Investors). Great things aren’t built overnight. I’d rather wait for a game-changing innovation that empowers the entire community than settle for quick, minor fixes. Let’s keep the constructive feedback flowing!

Looking forward for this feature, This will be game changer for actual traders on long term.

[U.S]

Thanks, Hemank! Glad we’re on the same page

@U.S Well coming back to my point i.e. Modular terminal is huge and it would depend on what would be the ROI from it. It depends on most features and that’s where things get lost and you will see many such posts here in the community. Its hard to track and hence get buried under.
