What’s new on Upstox Pro for Traders? Let’s begin with some major updates.


⚙️Affordable Options 

We understand that every trader has a unique risk appetite and budget. That's why we've introduced Affordable Options, offering two budget-friendly categories:

  • Options ₹5000: These are ideal for budget-conscious traders, this category offers a curated selection of Index and Stock options, each priced at  ₹5000 or less per contract. It's the perfect way to enter the world of options trading without a significant financial commitment.
  • Options ₹10,000: If you have a bit more flexibility in your trading budget, this category is designed just for you. Explore a diverse range of Index and Stock options, all priced at  ₹10,000 or less per contract.

Remember that none of these options contracts are recommendatory in nature. Always do your research, consider your financial situation, and trade responsibly.
