I want to draw your attention to really important matter for we end users. In both the Mobile Apps be it Option Trader or Dhan , In both Apps if we go to Position’s page & from there if we are managing our position for exit or sometimes wanna Add more quantity quickly.
That “Add more button” will open an order window screen with really too much Qty by default which is really impractical & big big problematic to us. Either everytime we need to be careful a lot more or every time we need to edit that quantity with proper carefulness as sometimes if we traded multiple times for the same option for entry exit on that day, it would show some of those all Quantities traded that is the main problem.
Due to this either there can be order delay or in hurry sometimes we can put huge huge value order by mistake if we have fund available in the account otherwise it will go to rejected order. Both way it’s a big loss to user.
I wanna request here with top priority that this small thing (but very very very big for us) must be resolved. & Add more should by default show 1 lot Qty and if user wanna edit they can edit or there could be pre set settings for this. But showing Sum of all qty traded that day can destroy someone on any random day & withing 1 trade their entire capital or big part of their capital can be wiped out without any bad intention so please do this change at the earliest.
you can contact me back if you need more details on this issue. It’s my humble & top priority request.
Hi @Varsha777, we understand your requirement, however the current behaviour is designed this way because many users prefer having the full running quantity auto-filled, especially when they trade in smaller quantities. This helps them add to their position quickly without manually adjusting the lots/quantity each time.
Let me tell you one thing, this is your standard reply many users prefer this way. For God’s sake have you ever traded with big quantities & have you experienced this nightmare of SUM of total quantity traded on that day especially on expiry day moves or big market movements. If they prefer to trade with 100 lots everytime & they traded 5 times , the next time it will automatically show a fresh order of 500+ lot Qty in a fresh single order in addition to their running position. Most trader don’t prefer this way. I am a trader, I am generating brokerages, i am experiencing problem & this is quite serious problem for me. And if your other so called most trader prefer this way. provide small, personalized settings for it, it’s not a big deal for you guys at all. Kindly understand the real practical problem with a solution approach.
Not satisfied with the answer at all. Really disappointing answer ! @PravinJ kindly intervene.
Hi @Varsha777 Too many customisations on critical transaction flows will slow down our overall performance. Unfortunately, we cannot deliver for every request and this is one of it, where some features work for most, but not for few.
@PravinJ@Mohseen_Usmani@Varsha777 is right. Some random really high order quantity is populated. Either show the existing open position size or the pre set order by the user when we click on the “Add more” button.
Have tried that. It always showed weird quantities since inception of the feature. So I just left it and ignored it. Many Dhan’s feature hasn’t been paid any attention to detail. Will take atleast 5 years for the platform to mature.
For example, I have turned SYMBOLS ON and yet full names show up on positions and web and where not, and pushes your P&L outside the screen. For your reference
P&L outside the screen, That is model’s UI specific problem coz some models tweak user app’s UI resolution and all. Believe that’s not the problem i face in Dhan. The platform itself is matured a lot but i want few important changes which affects a lot. As I am with Dhan since a long time I will be happy if they listen to us in such things. Earlier too , for any features or tunning whenever suggested in details, they have adopted it & gave us solution. I am the best example of it, myself have noticed that. Kindly pay attention to this. Also add some more sorting options in P&L of Mobile apps. @PravinJ@Hardik@Poornima@JayK@Naman@Radhika
@Pravin, not expected from you to reply like this . In the beginning, you were always very understanding and cooperative with users who highlighted genuine platform risks. That approach-built trust, and I sincerely hope the same user-first thinking continues here as well.
It is really disappointing to see this being treated as a “customisation request.” This is not about preference; it is about trading safety and risk control.
For traders like me who trade multiple times a day, the current default quantity behavior is dangerous and misleading. Pre-filling the order window with cumulative traded quantity can easily result in accidental oversized orders, and a single mistake can wipe out a major part of someone’s capital. This is not a small inconvenience; it is a serious risk issue.
Requesting a safer default like 1 lot or a simple preset is not heavy customization, it is basic UI/UX hygiene for any professional trading platform. Defaults should always minimize risk, not multiply it.
This change may look small technically, but for active traders its impact is huge and protective. It only needs willingness, not complexity.
Happened to me in the past. I always keep telling brokers need to trade to know the pain that we traders go through.
I think the current Add More behavior is what is customized. The standard way would be either to add 1 or add from user-preset limits and not some abnormally high number.
