Dear Traders & Investors,
We love building Dhan for you! And in this process shipping incredible features and updates across the Dhan ecosystem (if I may refer to this as the same) for our Super Traders and Long Term investors. We are grateful for all the suggestions and feedback that keeps coming our way, and it only encourages us to do more.
We started 2024 with our ritual - sharing the roadmap for the full year well in advance (Focus 2024: Upcoming Features on Dhan for Traders & Investors). If we have committed things to our users, we feel it is also our obligation to keep up updated on the progress we have made so far. So here to goes:
1. One-Tap Fund Transfer with ICICI Bank: Add Money in less than 3 seconds
At Dhan, we focus on innovation on core trading & investing features and also the overall journey around it. Firstly, we made pay-in free across all payment methods on Dhan - be it Netbanking, Smart Transfer or UPI (which is mandated to be free) and later introduced industry first feature of Fast Withdrawal. To add to this, we are fortunate to partner with ICICI Bank and offer One-Tap Fund Transfer for ICICI Bank users on Dhan. Try this if you haven’t done this before - adding funds on Dhan from ICICI Bank now takes less than 3 seconds!

2. Live Market Feeds on DhanHQ Trading APIs
Yes, one of the most requested features by our API based traders was to bring Live Market Feeds on our trading APIs on DhanHQ. We are glad to have delivered the same to you, now available to everyone on DhanHQ trading APIs.
More on that in full post here: Now Live: Live Market Feed on DhanHQ Trading APIs
3. Unlimited Rate Limits on DhanHQ APIs
We promised our API based traders that we will significantly improve their trading experience on DhanHQ APIs this year. We started our journey by enhancing the API limits for all DhanHQ APIs including Order APIs, Data APIs and Non-Trading APIs. We are glad to share that DhanHQ APIs now power over 75+ platforms including all the popular ones make our Trading APIs available to your across the partner ecosystem.

4. Scalper on TradingView Charts
We know our users love the charting experience on Dhan, and we have enhanced this from time to time. Be it enabling Trading on Charts, introducing (for the first time in India) the Seconds timeframes, or India specific timeframes (like 25 min, 75 min, and 125 min) and multiple additions to your favorite indicators. Traders on Dhan absolutely spend lots of time on our charts, but there were few experiences missing for Scalpers who would like to trade fast and quick - for them we recently introduced Scalper on TradingView Charts (on tv.dhan.co).

5. Mutual Funds now Open for Investing
Last year we introduced Mutual Funds in early access for 10,000 users and based on their usage we have continued to improve the product & investing experience for Mutual Funds on Dhan. We are now glad to announce that we have opened Mutual Funds investing for all users, which means you can directly invest in your favorite Mutual Funds without any wait times.
This year, you will see us introducing even more features and capabilities for Mutual Fund investors on Dhan. Full post here: Now Live for All: Mutual Funds on Dhan
6. Track Bank Accounts on Dhan
We started our journey to provide our users a full picture of their Investments and Assets, late last year we introduced the capability to track investments made in Stocks via all Brokers via the Account Aggregator (AA) Framework. This year, we started extending this and showing our traders and investors their Bank Balance again through Account Aggregator.

7. Light Weight Charts on Dhan Web
We continued on our journey to make the Dhan web platform lighter, faster and trader centric. While we keep shipping a more optimised version of Dhan web every two weeks now, we also optimised the default web charts and now upgraded them to Fast Loading Light Charts.

8. IPO Pre-Apply and Tracking Subscription Status
We made IPO Investing experience simpler on both Web and Apps a long time ago right when we introduced IPOs as a feature making it possible to invest in IPOs via just 2-3 simple taps. Now we continue to build upon this and enhance your IPO investing experience by introducing the two most requested features - ability to apply in advance with Pre-Apply and also Tracking the Subscription Status.
We extended this on Dhan web and app, full details on this is here: Update: Now Pre-Apply for IPOs and view Subscription Status on Dhan
9. BSE Sensex Option Trading Strategies
With BSE Sensex trading getting more popular on Fridays, at Dhan we have introduced BSE Options Trading and over time enhanced the experience to match with all features extended to Sensex Options Trading. In line with the same, we have introduced BSE Sensex Options on Strategy Builder on our Options Trader app.

10. Enhance Scrips available for Trading
Yes, while everyone has been busy on Options Trading we also continue to focus on Equity Intraday traders and Swing traders. Our first enhancement of the year 2024 was enabling margins and benefits to a lot more scrips - which we enabled for Intraday, MTF and also Pledging.
Full details in this post: Update: Extending Margins to more Stocks for Intraday, MTF & Pledging
Yes, we continue to work hard in our journey to build an incredible trading & investing experience for you on Dhan. We pushed the above 10 major enhancements for you on Jan & Feb 2024 and we want to assure you that the rest of the year will also bring many more of this.
