Trade on Chart

Set your exit where you can see it.

Trade on Chart lets you trade without leaving the chart. Tap Buy or Sell at the market price, or set a limit entry line. Then drag your stop-loss and target to your levels and watch P&L and margin on the same screen. When the trade moves your way, trail the stop.

  • Your exit is in place before the price moves.
  • Risk and reward sit on the chart, not in your head.
  • A trailing stop keeps part of the gain when the price turns.

What you can do

  • Trade from the chart

    Tap Buy or Sell under the candles, or set a limit entry line at your price.

  • Drag your exits

    Drag the stop-loss and target handles to your levels, and move them when the plan changes.

  • Trail the stop

    Tap the pencil on the stop-loss, turn on Trailing SL and set how far the stop moves each time the price moves your way.

  • Watch two charts

    Show a stock, index or future with its option, two options, or one chart alone. Tap search in the trade hub to open another scrip.

  • Read the position

    See open P&L, average entry, lots and the margin the trade needs while it runs.

  • Set a GTT

    Place a GTT trigger that waits up to 7 days, with stop-loss and target exits at market or at a limit.

Questions, answered.

Read all questions

How does a stop-loss fill in ZeroStake?

By default, the stop works like a stop-loss market (SL-M) order. When the price touches your trigger, the exit fills at the next price, which can be past the trigger. GTT orders also offer a stop-loss limit (SL-L).

Can a fill come at a worse price than the one I see?

Yes, when you turn on LiveFill. Orders can then fill in parts and at a worse price, more so on a harder Trading Difficulty level. With LiveFill off, an order fills in full at the last price.

What is a trailing stop-loss?

A trailing stop-loss moves your stop with the price when the trade goes your way. It never moves back. In ZeroStake, tap the stop-loss on the chart, tap its pencil and turn on Trailing SL.

Can I use Trade on Chart for options and MCX?

Yes. Open the chart for an index or stock option, a future or an MCX contract, and trade it the same way.

Where do my closed chart trades go?

They go to Orders, Portfolio and your P&L Statement. From there, add a Trade Journal note.
