"Options search" Suggestion

Dear @Dhan

Options search results are showing in a random manner which is messed up in both TV Dhan and DEXT as of now. I have attached screenshots from Fyers and Kite (0dha) for reference.

  1. It should be ascending order expiry wise
  2. It should be CE PE CE PE order as shown in images below

Please fix this

Thanks

Hello @VSDTheTrendSailor

Currently we show search results based on the volume traded in the contract on the previous day. This is why the list sequence is as per what you shared.

Will take a look into logic shared as per you to make it more relevant moving forward.

Both the points i agree with you very strongly. these small things makes life much more easier!

Dear @Hardik @Dhan

I understand Dhan is trying to do something special and innovative but some stuffs have to be aligned with what people are used to overall.

Its great that you wanna show based on Volume based results but what if the user doesn’t want that and simply needs only both Call and Put what he was looking for.

So I suggest to add a toggle button in User Settings “Volume based search” in User Settings so whoever likes your unique way can still keep using it and those who are used to market standard way to search options can keep doing the standard way.

This way you have accomplished catering to both the traders’ needs.

PS Also the expiry date is random order due to this. If it was simple search then trader can develop muscle memory and be faster but this Volume based search limits the speed and one needs to carefully look every time to choose right strike and expiry and that can be messy if he missed it a bit. That could cost him through slippage by entering a less liquid strike.

Hope this gets done ASAP. :heart:

Dear @Dhan

I was trying to search NIFTY 25500 PE 30 MAR expiry but it was not available in OC so I had no other choice but to use “Symbol Search”

At first quick glance, I thought its not available so I had to login to other broker and found it instantly in “Symbol Search” coz I know its next week expiry and it was exactly there

Look how its affecting and making a simple search into a workload!

I had to read each symbol from top to bottom to find what I was looking for.

That’s not the purpose of SEARCH using a particular keyword. Here in this case the keyword is 25500.

During LIVE market this becomes really difficult and time consuming.
