Hello Traders,

Dhan Charts has always aimed to provide one of the most comprehensive charting experiences for Indian traders - whether through data enhancements like India-specific Timeframes and Second-Level Intervals, or analytical tools like Option Chain, OI Profile on Charts and market Replay, or core trading features and capabilities like Scalper Mode and Trade Plan.

We also understand importance of data & faster deciphering of exchange ticks on the charts, which is why we introduced 20 Depth (L3 data) on Charts and later pushed the envelope to show full-market depth (200 Depth Level) for NSE Equity and F&O on Dhan Charts.

From time to time, Dhan has also re-architectured our charting components, and increased the underlying infrastructure to offer faster load times for charts, across all its platforms.

One of the most critical elements of any trading setup built around charts is the alert system. Alerts have evolved into the default way to track instruments and define conditions that drive trading decisions. By nature, alerts must be accurate, real-time, and flexible - so they can adapt to every setup a trader wants to monitor.

At Dhan, we introduced Alerts directly on Charts in August 2024 to make alerting seamless and accessible. We further enhanced this by adding Technical Alerts, enabling traders to track setups based on their strategies. Today, thousands of Dhan traders use alerts actively, placing millions of alerts that trigger every second.

This adoption has pushed us to continuously improve the alerting experience. Alerts are no longer just for tracking markets - they are about acting on them. Every alert notification leads to deeper analysis, chart checks, and often, trade execution. And today, with Market Alerts by Dhan, we are taking a step forward - towards automating this entire journey.

Now Place Conditional Orders on Dhan Charts

One of the most common actions after an alert triggers is placing an order - because the alert signifies that your defined level or setup has been met. In simple terms, it’s time to act.

With this update, you can now attach an order directly to any alert you create on Dhan Charts. This means you no longer need to manually place trades after an alert is triggered - Dhan takes care of execution for you.

This is how it will work -->

You also get complete flexibility to place orders across instruments and exchanges, irrespective of where the alert is set. This unlocks powerful cross-instrument strategies. For example, you can trade HDFC Bank based on Bank Nifty levels, execute Nifty Options based on Nifty price movements, and much more.

Get Webhook Updates for Alerts

For users leveraging webhooks, Dhan Charts now supports real-time webhook updates for alerts.

No matter your workflow or strategy setup, you can receive instant alert triggers directly on your webhook URL. This allows systematic traders to simplify their infrastructure - eliminating the need for separate alerting or calculation systems - and act directly on Dhan Alerts.

Along with this, we are rolling out a more intuitive and simplified interface for setting up alerts on charts for all Dhan users.

We are also continuously working to make alerts more comprehensive - expanding technical parameters and increasing instrument coverage. With the addition of Conditional Orders and Webhook support, traders can now move towards a more systematic and automated trading setup with ease.

As always, we would love to hear your feedback on how we can make alerts even more powerful and intuitive for your trading needs. We are constantly listening and building - so you always have the right tools to navigate evolving markets.

Happy Trading!
Hardik

India produces nearly half the world's mangoes. Most people know that. What's less obvious is how lopsided the production map actually is. 🥭

A handful of states do almost all the heavy lifting. The geography of where mangoes grow shapes everything from local prices to export contracts to the entire summer agri-economy in those regions.

The map below shows where India's 231 lakh tonnes of mangoes actually come from. The concentration is sharper than most would guess.

Which state's mango do you think is the most underrated?

Every crisis in the last 30 years felt like the one that wouldn't pass

But that's not true.

Each one came with its own version of "this time is different" — and each one had a recovery on the other side of it.

What the chart below quietly shows is something most investors only learn the expensive way: drawdowns are loud, but recoveries are inevitable. The harder question isn't whether markets come back. It's whether you're still in the chair when they do.

Which crisis felt the most "permanent" to you while you were living through it?

Hello Traders & Investors,

At Dhan, we have always focused on giving traders more control and flexibility through innovative order types and trading products. Over time, we’ve introduced features like Super Orders, Iceberg Orders & Basket Orders to help you execute your orders, and your investing & trading strategies more efficiently and manage positions better.

Even when it comes to leverage, Dhan introduced MTF or Pay Later (via Margin Trading Facility) across 1,700+ scrips.

In our observations on how traders adopt these capabilities, we noticed an important gap and an opportunity to introduce a new order type.

While MTF works well for many stocks, there are still several stocks where MTF is not available due to internal risk or regulatory considerations or because they are not part of the MTF approved list of securities. This makes it difficult for traders who want to take short-term opportunities in these stocks without immediately committing full capital. To address this, we are introducing a new product on Dhan:

https://preview.redd.it/0wpjcsi0b9zg1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd5b6cbcf623fecad983ddd6bb599f01e81ca5ff

Introducing T+5 Order

This order type is designed to help you take short-term positions in select stocks even when you have limited funds. With T+5, you can buy eligible stocks and hold them for up to 5 trading days. If funds are not added by the 5th trading day, the position will be automatically sold.

How will it work?

• Select a T+5 eligible stock and place a buy order using the Pay Later (T+5) option.
• The order will reflect in your Orders & Positions as a T+5 trade.
• Till T+1, the shares will appear under the Pay Later tab with a T+5 tag.
• From T+2 onwards:
  • If your account is in debit, the shares will continue under the Pay Later tab
  • If not, they will move to your regular portfolio (delivery holdings)
• You can hold the position for up to 5 trading days.
• You can sell anytime before Day 5:
  • Till T+1 → sell from the Pay Later tab
  • From T+2 onwards → sell from the Investing (Delivery) tab

Important things to know before your first T+5 trade:

• T+5 applies only when your account is in debit (does not apply to users with negative or zero balance). If sufficient funds are available, shares are treated as regular delivery buy.
• Interest will apply on the debit amount as per your plan.
• Brokerage of ₹20 or 0.03% (whichever is lower) will be charged per executed order.
• Shares bought in delivery but automatically marked for pledge against the Client Unpaid Securities Pool Account (CUSPA) will also move under the T+5 tab and follow the same rules.
• You can add funds anytime to convert your T+5 position to delivery.
• Positions will be auto-sold on the 5th trading day if not converted.

Note: Scripts on which MTF is available, are not eligible for T+5 Orders.

With T+5, we aim to extend flexibility to more stocks while maintaining responsible risk management. As always, we look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback from the community.

Thanks,
Dhan Team

Now Live: P&L based Exit and Exit All on APIs

Hello Traders,

DhanHQ APIs were built with the philosophy to bring institutional-grade capabilities to retail API traders in India.

From the start, we've focused on removing barriers between your strategy and execution. Whether it's streaming full market depth, providing expired options data for backtesting, enabling technical conditions through Conditional Triggers, or delivering seamless order execution through DEXT - every API we ship is designed to eliminate something you'd otherwise have to build yourself.

Whenever we are building any new feature, it should pass these two questions. First, is this new feature making trading simpler or more efficient for a trader. And the second, is it adding value to their current trading setup.

For DhanHQ APIs, we aim to cut down the effort and time taken between fetching data from a broker to executing order. But there is much more once an order is placed on the exchange and traders have an active position.

Risk Management - this is the one area where even the most sophisticated API traders end up writing the same repetitive code. Given the criticality of this step, once you have an active position, managing risk requires handling scenarios in real time which are computation heavy.

Until now, retail traders had to go through extensive development cycles just to get proper risk management in place for their trades. This includes writing code to track cumulative P&L across positions, calculating profit and loss thresholds in real-time, building exit logic that works across different product types, and ensuring orders execute fast enough when limits are breached. This entire workflow takes up significant development time and computational resources, and traders often run into execution delays and errors during critical exit moments. At the same time, systems lacked the reliability to handle sudden market movements and the ability to exit all positions instantly when broader market conditions demanded it.

We are eliminating this entire workflow today. Risk management has been at the core of trading on Dhan - whether that be through features like Trader's Control on our platforms or execution guardrails we've built into DEXT or building an all new Order type with Super Orders.

We started with bringing Kill Switch on API. We have also worked to bring automation to order execution through Conditional Triggers and Super Orders. We are bringing the same automation and reliability to risk management now on APIs.

Introducing: P&L based Exit and Exit All Positions on APIs

https://preview.redd.it/zgf64jh9d2zg1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=690a1066e49969460d2c25bc3e78033997a4b5ed

P&L Based Exit - is automated risk management that runs on our infrastructure, not yours. Set your profit and loss thresholds once, and we monitor your cumulative P&L across all positions in real-time. The moment your limits are hit, all applicable positions exit automatically. No monitoring scripts. No manual intervention. No delays. No Heavy-lifting at your end.

Exit All Positions - is your master position management tool. One API call, and every open position closes while every pending order cancels, instantly. Whether you're responding to macro events, time-based rules, or just need to shut down operations, your entire book clears in one action. With this you can build your own Kill-Switch for Open Positions at your end.

What does this change for API Traders and Developers

With the P&L Based Exit API, your risk parameters stay active throughout the trading session. Set your profit and loss values once, choose which product types to monitor - INTRADAY, DELIVERY, or both - and enable kill switch for complete position closure if needed.

Our systems track your cumulative P&L in real-time and execute exits automatically when thresholds are breached. As a developer, you skip building P&L tracking systems and exit logic across multiple positions - one API call handles data aggregation, threshold monitoring, and exit order placement.

The Exit All Positions API gives you absolute control when you need it. Not all exits are threshold-based - sometimes your strategy responds to broader market conditions, external signals, or time rules. One API call exits all positions and cancels all orders simultaneously, ensuring your entire book clears instantly when your strategy demands it.

You maintain full control after configuration. Modify profit and loss values at any time without restarting. Check current settings through status APIs. Settings automatically reset at market close to keep strategies fresh each day. Stop P&L exits entirely if conditions change. Every action is trackable, every configuration is accessible.

The P&L Based Exit and Exit All Positions APIs are currently available for all product types on DhanHQ, with real-time P&L monitoring and instant execution backed by DEXT.

The complete API documentation with all endpoints, parameters, and response structures is live on DhanHQ API Documentation - here.

As always, we'll keep evolving this based on how you use it. Your feedback matters whether it's a feature request, a bug report, or just sharing how these APIs fit into your risk management strategies.

Here's to trading with confidence, knowing your risk is always under control.

Happy Trading,
Dhan
