As FII and DII participation significantly influences market movements, by studying this data you can  make informed trading and investment decisions.

 

⚙️GTT on web
You asked for our GTT (Good-Till-Triggered) order type on pro.Upstox.com and we’ve got it for you! Easily place GTT trades in Equity, F&O, Commodity and Currency segments along with a Stop-Loss and Profit Target feature. With GTT you can predefine your entry and exit in advance and your order will remain valid till expiry or 365 days.

 

⚙️Quick fixes, bug improvements, and smaller updates
We know even the smallest changes can have the biggest impact. And that’s why we’re constantly improving our app for you. Don’t miss these smaller tweaks:

  • SL orders can be modified to limit and vice versa

  • Order Slicing now for our iOS folks too!

 

And it’s not just raining feature, after feature for Upstox for Traders, we’ve covered Upstox for Investors too. So as you SIP on some chai in this amazing weather, read our power-packed August Product Update for Investors too!

⚙️Wealth Tracker
Now effortlessly sync your external Mutual Fund investments and bank accounts on Upstox and stay on top of your wealth.

 

⚙️365 Day Validity Limit Orders
Interested in buying or selling a stock but waiting for it to reach a certain price? With Limit orders you can pre-define your buy or sell price and once the stock reaches that price your order will be placed automatically. No need to track prices everyday or keep track of the markets, your order will be valid for 365 days!


⚙️ Improved Following Section & Holdings Tab  (Only on Android)
Just like how your favourite social media platforms allow you to see who you’re ‘Following’, Upstox lets you see which Stocks you’re following with key metrics on their performance. These metrics include Current Value, 52 week high/low, historical data and more.

Similarly, we’ve even improved the Holdings tab with these metrics - Current Value, Invested Value, Absolute Change, Day Change, % change to help you track your investments smartly!

Both these sections also have a filtering icon to help you manage these tabs better and sort through key data metrics easily.


⚙️Improved Stock SIPs
Start. Stop. Restart your Stock SIPs easily, set up an AutoSIP and view a detailed breakdown of your SIP order history!

 

That’s all for August, folks! We hope you enjoyed reading our updates 🙏
