Now live: Floating Scalper on DEXT T3!

Hello Traders! :waving_hand:

At Dhan, every feature we build for DEXT T3 starts with one thing - your feedback. And when it comes to scalping, one ask has come up consistently. You told us the Scalper widget works — but you didn’t want it eating into the workspace you’ve carefully built. You needed your Scalper accessible without giving up a single slot.

We heard you. Here it is.

Introducing: Floating Scalper on DEXT T3.

Scalping is the most time-sensitive form of trading. Every second between spotting an opportunity and executing it matters. But that speed gets compromised the moment your tools slow you down.

If you want to place a quick scalp trade right now, you either need to have the Scalper widget already in your layout — taking up space you may have allocated to something else — or you navigate away from what you’re watching to get to it. Neither is ideal when the market is moving fast and you need to act faster.

For traders who have spent time building the perfect DEXT T3 workspace, that trade-off has always been a friction point. Floating Scalper removes it entirely.

Floating Scalper is a new widget on DEXT T3 - but unlike a regular widget, it doesn’t occupy a slot in your workspace layout. It appears as a lightweight pop-up that floats on top of your workspace, sits wherever you drag it on screen, and stays open for as long as you need it - closing only when you choose to close it.

The existing Scalper widget on DEXT T3 stays exactly where it is. Floating Scalper sits alongside it as fresh addition - giving you a new way to scalp that works around your workspace, not inside it.

How To Get Started on DEXT T3

  • Open DEXT T3 — Download for Mac | Download for Windows | or use dext.dhan.co
  • For Floating Scalper — find it in your widget library, launch the pop-up, and drag it wherever you need it on screen
  • Need another one? Launch again - a second Floating Scalper opens alongside the first

Floating Scalper joins a growing line-up of products built into DEXT T3, each adding a specific capability for active traders. If the floating widget format works for how you trade, here’s the rest of what DEXT T3 offers, in case any of these fit alongside:

  • DEXT T3 — The Trading Terminal — the main post explaining what DEXT T3 is and why we built it. Worth a read if you want the full picture of how the terminal is designed for active traders — execution speed, workspace customisation, and how every piece fits together.
  • Power Scalper on DEXT T3 — a dedicated scalping terminal with the underlying, CE and PE charts, option chain, market depth, and position management all in one view. Where Floating Scalper is a lightweight pop-up, Power Scalper is the full-screen counterpart for traders who need every signal in front of them simultaneously.
  • Position Analyzer on DEXT T3 — see the risk and exposure profile of your live DEXT T3 positions in one consolidated view. Useful when you’re scalping fast and want to keep an eye on your aggregate exposure without breaking flow.
  • Conditional Alerts on DEXT T3 — set alerts on DEXT T3 that auto-execute your trade when the condition is met. Useful for the times you can’t be at the screen but still want a setup taken when it triggers.
  • Order Flow Coming in DEXT T3 — the sneak preview of order flow and footprint charts arriving on DEXT T3. Worth knowing about if reading the inside of the candle is part of how you scalp.

Scalping on DEXT T3 has always been fast. Now your workspace doesn’t have to pay the price for it.

Hi,

Can we have default lot from the order preference or settings in DEXT, without this difficult to do scalping.

Regards.

this is awesome!

Thanks, that great!

I would like to see 3 more features here

  1. It should be truly floating irrespective of the active window, i.e. currently the one can only move the Floating widget within the DETX T3. One should be able to move Floating widget beyond DEXT T3 .
  2. Secondly there should be some option to pin to top, so it would be always visible, even in case DETX T3 is minimised. These 2 features are there in the Fyers NEXT
  3. Ability to launch floating widget from multiple sources , like watchlist , option chain etc

Hi @Sandprs, we’ve noted your above suggestions and shared with our team for further evaluation

Why does floater window does not complete lot size, ex: if i type quantity 1 it takes without getting rounded to 65 for Nifty, this works fine in scalper window. Now if i want to trade around 1000 qty then i need to keep a calculator to know the exact qty /lot.

@Raghu_S now scalper widgets such as floating scalper, option scalper and Powerscalper widgets now take lots as an input

@Bhavya_Jain @Mohseen_Usmani
please bring us true time and sales like us brokers unlike aggregated time and sales for every second. Aggregated time and sales lose the nature to see institutional orders those are going through or they are retail traders’

@Mahi The time n sales we show in DEXT T3 is actually formed on every tick and not grouped so can you help us understand what exactly are you referring so that we can deliver the best experienceimage

@Bhavya_Jain @Mohseen_Usmani
Thank you for reaching back and the clarification. While the backend might be processing tick-by-tick data, the frontend Time and Sales window clearly shows that trades are being visually grouped or aggregated into 1-second intervals.

If you look closely at the screenshot you shared, there is almost exactly one print per second (e.g., 12:14:47, 12:14:46, 12:14:45, 12:14:44, 12:14:43, etc.).

Because the UI is only showing one summarized row per second (displaying a total aggregated quantity of 10,725 at 12:14:43 PM), it destroys the ability to properly read the tape.

When traders ask for a “True Time and Sales” we are looking for :

1. Unaggregated Prints & Millisecond Timestamps: We need to see every single individual execution on its own row as it hits the tape. To distinguish the rapid pace of trades, the timestamps need sub-second precision (milliseconds), rather than just HH:MM:SS.

2. Aggressor Flagging (Bid/Ask Traded): Professional Time & Sales color-codes trades based on whether the trade was initiated by an aggressive buyer (hitting the Ask) or an aggressive seller (hitting the Bid). Right now, it appears the colors are just based on whether the price is an uptick or downtick from the previous second, which doesn’t help us gauge real buying/selling pressure.

3. Institutional Order Sweeps: When an institution fires a large 10,000 qty market order, it might eat through 20 different limit orders. If the platform shows raw ticks, we can see this rapid sequence. If trades are just grouped into arbitrary 1-second buckets, we lose the ability to spot institutional footprints vs. retail noise.
