@PravinJ He trades using a family member’s account.
Account is in my wife’s name. Sent you details via DM
@t7support Most irresponsible response I have ever seen by the person in control. Forget about this option to be enabled.
@DSingh In the past, there have been instances where people without a Dhan account posted comments with malicious intent, so I understand why brokers may want to cross-verify such feedback.
That said, I am an AP for Dhan, and I regularly collect and consolidate grievances and feedback from my clients to share with Dhan. @VijayNair also trades on Dhan through his wife’s account and has been providing critical yet constructive feedback regarding genuine issues on the platform.
Ultimately, side-stepping or delaying resolution of these issues will only lead to clients moving away. Most of the bug fixes and feature requests being raised would likely require relatively small development effort compared to building large products like DEXT or T3. It is mainly a matter of demonstrating the willingness to address genuine client grievances and improve the platform experience.
@VijayNair, you and me have public profiles with clearly visible “activity” history, so no point of malicious intent here. Also, its not even about AP or normal retail client, screenshot above mentioned other providers are doing it, and it’s a fair ask, and even if it is getting ignored since Feb 2025 then might be something is not right at execution level because complex indicators are released everyday under “Product Annoucements” and this “Feature Request” is open since Feb 2025. Do the math!
Order panel standardization (as per the industry and as per your own positions panel) is really very important, and should be atleast a choice that you offer your customers imo @PravinJ
Nowadays using multiple brokers is the norm, and active traders operate under a lot of pressure, especially during certain times.
A mistake is an unintentional error or misstep, whereas a mistake by habit is a repeated, automated behavior where your brain’s autopilot takes over.
Its like ‘blue blood bad blood’ tongue twister effect I suppose
I dont use any of the fancy features, which I am sure many traders appreciate. I personally dont use scanx, Dhan optiontrader, Fuzz etc. I dont even open charts on Dhan. A lot (not all) of my trading is via the API, and on Dhan, theres quite a few manual orders I place… its been tough using the order panel…
Btw I like and use some of the added features. I use ‘reverse order’ from time to time, and the basket with alert execution is also useful.
Yes.
Honesty I now have the fear of what can happen in future if I continue using Dhan. Imagine accidentally executing 6500 lots ITM options. I wouldnt make this my main account, but even small accounts executing just OTM 1040 lots (intead of qty) is very painful. The frightening thought makes me want to move away.
Truth is most people like the bling, and Dhan is feeding it. Looks good on the sales page too. But they surely will have more very-active traders by solving the non-glamorous simple fundamental things like the one mentioned in this thread.
@VijayNair We will evaluate adding this option Vijay. This has some changes to be made on our end, we will figure that out.
Thanks Pravin.
I know your turnaround time isn’t like Z
, so this is heartening ![]()
Will be certainly useful for traders like me…
@t7support I would wait for official confirmation under “Announcements”.
Hi @DSingh Sorry if that seems like. Trust, but verify is most important part of decision making - may not be for other brokers, but yes for us. If I look only at data, @VijayNair’s case will be < 0.0000001% of all orders on platform in a day, easy to ignore.
We are not building for us, we are building for our users. Lot of our decisions are backed by data, insights and consumer interactions, usage of products, features and capabilities. And there are 100s of instances where we have changed our opinions and strong positions in favour of our users.
I read every feedback that comes our way, on some days it goes to 100+ per day and of-course many of them say Dhan is great. If we only look at the good ones, and ignore that bad ones - then Dhan would have never made this far. And we till have a long way to go.. ![]()
@PravinJ Dhan has done great in looking at customer requirements and developing but when you say your decisions are backed by data, its flawed because the data is only based on what Dhan has. From your previous quote, if other brokers are doing it and Dhan doesn’t want to do it because it would be the same then look at this angle that alot of users who could contribute to the Dhan’s data are actually not trading here because of this issue. I feel there is a need of change in how data is viewed and analysed.
Anyway I just want to mention it because the people who are putting questions here in the community are the ones who truly believe that Dhan can be better at its processes and will soar to new heights if basic issues are accepted and integrated quickly.
@nitishbangera Agree.
Some things are not just about raw numbers, and blind data does not always provide the whole picture…
We all know about the famous survivorship bias. I assure you “planes” have not come back General, and those are likely the ones that are most valuable, I dare say ![]()
Imo when something has the potential to trigger unintended and sometimes even catastrophic ‘risk’ , even 0.00001% is a high price (clearly for the unfortunate customers) - especially considering it can be mitigated by providing what most brokers provide.
@t7support See, I was right.
@PravinJ Problem is, you think that we are not on your side or why would we put this strong repetitive opinions here. Anyways, your agrument about data backed decisions is weak. If people are criticizing too much that doesn’t mean that they hate but may be it shows too much dependence on the platform. Few thing that nobody talks about Dhan is instant withdrawals and availability of GIFT NIFTY realtime charts (which others have started to enable) is the only reason I am here. About enabling a switch between lots and quantities, keep your backend same, in case a user enters the “quantity” then simply divide it by “lot size” and send to the backend. Not sure, for enabling this why you have to defend so much.
@t7support @VijayNair You can try GitHub - marketcalls/openalgo: Open Source Algo Trading Platform for Everyone · GitHub .
Actually I’d like to not move away if possible because moving holdings is not ideal. Plus I like brokers who have active and open public forums. But that doesnt mean I’ll be okay putting my capital at risk of dangerous accidents.
I am sure @PravinJ will find a solution soon ![]()
Thanks @DSingh. I am aware of what OpenAlgo brings to the table. However, not all traders are tech-savvy or comfortable using such tools. Therefore, the frontend interfaces provided by brokers need to cater to both the basic and advanced requirements of traders.
Besides, as an AP of Dhan, I also feel responsible for addressing my clients’ requirements and concerns, which is why I am additionally motivated to keep highlighting what is not working well with Dhan.

@PravinJ please let us know how long this can take.
