Your order entry window is freaking me out. Not flexible. Or am I missing something?
If I set it to SL in preferences, I have so select slm for putting a stop buy or a stop sell. And its freaking me out. I made a mistake today too.
There are 2 types of orders that I put.
A stop buy or a stop sell to enter the market
And a limit order after the first order takes me in the market, for covering at a profit.
And a stop order for the open position.
Just imagine how much I have to play about with the settings in the order window.
I made a mistake today and almost lost money. I didnt though. But the pressure of a wrong position destroys my psychology. Can you please open up the order window, where we can just tab to the column we want and put the figures?
Like a order entry window in PIB. Just put figures where you want.

Sachin,
Are you guys really doing something on how to use NOW. You are telling since January but i don't see anything happening from your side except those 3-4 videos in youtube.
I couldn't start trading with Zerodha though i opened my account 2months back. Till now i bought few Unitech stocks in cash, but i don't know how to square them off, but i am not worried about it now as i want to hold them for few years. Also started trading in options just last week and got understanding how to do options trading in NOW after speaking to one of your colleagues.
I thought it will be same for futures as well and placed a limit buy (long) order for NF at 5378 but it got executed at CMP of 5356 though my intention is to buy when NF reaches 5378. After executing this trade i have no option but to close this by placing a sell order.
There are numerous requests asking you guys to prepare a FAQ from the answers you have given in this thread but NOTHING happened till now.
How many days it will take just to copy paste and prepare FAQ's based on your posts in this thread????? and most importantly how to use NOW???
Since there are three tools for trading (mobile, browser based and exe), you should have provided what is possible and what is not possible with each one these. It hardly takes a day or at the max a week.
Please don't again say that you are working on that and planning to come up with some out of the box solution for this. Also don't say....you should have called our guys to know how to use NOW so that they will give live demo. When you call yourself as online based broker, you should have definitely put those things in place instead of asking each customer to call and have a live demo.
Expecting a very clear answer now....is it possible to prepare FAQ's and videos on how to use NOW exe, browser and mobile??? If yes, then when???
Thanks,
Giri

Once your order is executed, to place stop loss order, choose the same contract you are trading and in the dropdown choose SL... you can either choose SL - limit or SL- Market... For eg if you bought nifty futures and you have to put SL ... Choose Selling order on nifty and in the drop down choose SL... Put your trigger price.. if SL-L mention limit price and SL-M then no need of limit price...
Hi Sumo...
SL-L and SL-M was introduced after popular request by everyone..
NOW Terminal is a typical dealer terminal, dealer terminals are meant for faster order executions... What I would advise is to use your keyboard for all the functions instead of the mouse.... Will take a couple of days to get used to, but every function has a short cut key and you can place orders in a jiffy while working directly from the keyboard....
Will have a look at the PIB terminal and post again...

Hi Giri,
Our bad to not have the faq up... The videos does do the bit on how to get started with us and placing orders, viewing net positions etc...
I understand you are not happy with the trade that you had put, but that was more a fundamental mistake and not something that even a demo video would have addressed....
If something is trading at 5350 and you put a buy order for 5375, it is as good as a market order.... It would have been the same on any terminal anywhere in the world, not just with NOW....
That said, No excuses for not having a faq section still up... We didn't want to have just a boring faq which people usually never go through....I will take it on me to have a basic one up at the earliest.... I already have all the queries asked on traderji on word, Will make it into a word doc and mail it to all of you by this weekend at the latest...
The next time you want to place an order like the one you have mentioned use the stop loss order window to enter... So what you should have ideally done is, Choose buy order on Nifty futures, on type choose SL-M , keep the trigger price as 5375... Basically what would happen now is , your order will get active only when nifty goes to 5375, at 5375 your order becomes active and a market buy order on nifty hits the exchange...
Cheers...
