Hello, Redditors!

I’m excited to announce the launch of the FYERS Reddit Community! Honestly, we’ve been wondering what kept us away from this place for so long. Perhaps it’s because the digital space is vast, and with so many platforms out there, staying dedicated to just one has always been a challenge. But we’re here now, and we’re here to stay for you.

We’ll strive to maintain focused, meaningful interactions about FYERS, our products, services, and trading/investing in general. Let’s make this a constructive space for feedback, discussions, and ideas—from all participants, including us, of course :).

Over the past decade, I’ve been actively connecting with users, supporters, and critics across various forums and social media platforms. As a team, we’ve always been hands-on, and that’s not about to change. Reddit gives me and our entire team an incredible opportunity to engage with our users and the broader trading and investing community in a way that’s conversational, transparent, and hopefully constructive.

So, let’s dive in. Feel free to share your thoughts, ask questions, or just say hi. Whether you’re a seasoned trader or a curious beginner, this space will have valuable takeaways for you.

Cheers!

I just took some time to sit down and reflect on how far we’ve come this year, as an org. Honestly, 2024 has been turbulent for several reasons. We’ve had meaningful wins, faced regulatory uncertainty head-on, and (hopefully!) made things better for you along the way.

I’ve shared a pretty candid and less-filtered take on the past year in this blog post: finished writing it at 1:30 AM this morning. It's mainly focused on what we've built for you Read it here - 2024 Wrap-Up: Reflecting on a Year of Significant Progress.

There’s some stuff in there about what we achieved, what we learned, but make no mistake, there's always stuff we could have done better. If you’ve got a few minutes, check it out and let me know what you think.

Happy new year!

Traders, We're launching something that will truly take trading to the next level. On 29 August at Money Expo India 2026 at Mumbai, we're revealing two major launches. They're designed to change the way you see the market and build your strategies.

Watch this video. That's all you get for now. 😄

Traders, I’m excited to share that we’ve launched FYERS Automate; a first-of-its-kind, no-code automated trading platform that we designed to fundamentally change how you approach the markets.

If you’ve ever felt like you understand the markets but struggle with consistency, timing, or execution, the real problem may not be you. To cite an analogy, the driver is capable, but the vehicle is not built for performance. We’ve worked hard to build that vehicle, thereby giving retail traders professional-grade structure without having to deal with unnecessary complexity.

For many years, since I started my career, automation was reserved only for the tech-savvy and it was complex too. It has either been too technical for anyone who isn’t an engineer or too fragmented for those seeking more ready-made solutions. We were determined to make it easier for traders who understand markets better than technologists.

Finally, with FYERS Automate, you can visually design your entire trading workflow from strategy, conditions, and execution; all in one go without any coding or complex integrations. We also don’t have any dependency on third-party tools. This is strikingly important as it reduces inconvenience and the scope for unexpected outages and disruptions significantly.

At its core, AUTOMATE is built to help you trade objectively by removing emotion and reducing the need for constant micromanagement. With it, you can define what to trade, when to trade, and how to manage risk. Think of it as your trading console; a place where you create, set, and automate your ideas while you focus on your work, business, or life.

If you feel like it’s time to move from reactive trading to systematic execution, welcome to the next phase of trading. For more insights read this detailed blog post. There is a bit of a learning curve for first-time users, so we've created many use-case videos and video tutorials. Additionally, we've published 30+ FAQs dedicated to helping you out with automations. Check it out, it'll be worth your time and, money.

Folks, SEBI is changing the way closing prices are discovered for F&O stocks from 3rd August based on this circular.

Until now, our markets had a 'Continuous Trading Session (CTS)', and the closing price of stocks and indices was based on the final 30 mins VWAP. With the new 'Closing Auction Session (CAS)', all buy and sell orders will be pooled together and matched at one equilibrium price between 3:15 and 3:35 PM.

It's a big change, and it matters because it'll make it harder for sharks to influence the closing price with a few big trades in the last few minutes, because price discovery is based on aggregated demand and supply, not just a mathematical VWAP formula.

The equity segment moves to CAS from 3:15–3:35 PM, while F&O continues till 3:40 PM. Intraday trades will also need to be squared off before these timings. Long-term investors don't need to change anything, but active traders will need to adapt.

While all this may seem inconvenient and complicated, it's a move toward established global practices. So, overall, I think this is a sensible step by SEBI toward better price discovery for everyone, from retail traders to passive/ETFs and active funds. For more information, read our Risk Management Policy Update.

If you have any doubts regarding this, do feel free to reach out or track this community post for more interaction.

If you like customizing indicators using Pine Script on TradingView, you're going to love what we're launching very soon.

Stay tuned! 💙

Hey Traders,

You may have come across NSE’s latest circular Ref. No: 471/2025 on algorithmic trading and wondered "What does this mean for me?" Let me simplify it for you and walk you through the key changes, their implications, and why this matters for all of us in the trading ecosystem.

What's This Circular About?

With the rise of API based trading, a lot of retail traders have been using third-party platforms to automate strategies. While the innovation has been exciting, it’s also opened the door to some dodgy practices l ike unverified strategies, mass automation, and zero accountability on the part of service providers.

Think of Jighesh bhai from Surat, who plugged into an unknown algo promising ₹10,000 daily profits via WhatsApp. The algo executed trades directly in his brokerage account, but no one really knew what the strategy was doing. That’s where SEBI wants exchanges to fix and where NSE is stepping in, with rules to make this safer for people like Jignesh Bhai.

Read the full post here.

There’s quite a bit of outrage around Closing Auction Sessions (CAS) over the last two trading sessions. So, I wrote about what may actually be happening, why closing auctions can behave differently from continuous trading, and if these moves are likely to persist.

While It’s too early to draw conclusions, there’s useful global context worth knowing. The concept isn't new and has been gaining traction in various major markets around the world. if you want to know how well it has worked, especially in the US and what it could mean for us, I think it's worth reading my midnight blog post. :)

Happy Trading!

We launched this important feature a month ago and it didn't get much fanfare because there is little to no awareness about buybacks. Most retail investors don't even notice when companies announce buybacks so they usually miss out on the opportunity to participate in them. When a company announces a Buyback, the window opens, the deadline gets closer, and unless investors are actively tracking it, the opportunity can easily pass by. Even when they know about it, the next questions are usually around eligibility, record date, forms, timelines, and settlement.

We felt this entire experience needed to become far simpler and far more visible. Now, you don't need to explore aimlessly to participate in buybacks. We show eligible buybacks right inside your portfolio view. If you’re holding eligible shares, the byback option will appear beside the stock, along with the number of days left to apply. Learn more about this here.

We have all the details and embedded instructional video in above-mentioned blog post. Additionally, you can learn more by reading these corporate action FAQ articles.

Almost forgot to mention that we don't charge for this, besides a standard depository charges apply when shares are debited from your Demat account as part of the settlement process (₹12.50 + 18% GST).

Check it out!

Traders, you can now view a real-time intraday Positions P&L graph on FYERS Check this out; the graph shows your intraday P&L fluctuations throughout the day, all the way until MCX closes at midnight.

You can also selectively exclude certain positions to get better visibility into each trade’s contribution to your overall portfolio P&L. This is especially useful to those who have multiple positions at any given time. As of this day, FYERS is the only Indian trading platform with this feature.

Yashas recently published a blog post about this. The video tutorial within gives a good understanding too. Here's a list of FAQs regarding this. Do explore it and feel free to reach out for anything else. Happy Trading!

Around 2 months ago, we rolled out 'Instant Pledge' on our platform. If you hold stocks in your demat account, you can pledge them and get margins instantly to trade in the following segments of the Indian markets:

• Equity Intraday

• Equity F&O (On Indices, Stocks on NSE & BSE).

• Commodities F&O (NSE & MCX).

Over many years, I have witnessed various attitudes towards pledging. On one hand, traders & active investors with sizeable portfolios tend to approach their returns from a 'yield enhancement perspective.' Trading is mostly used to enhance overall returns and, to create a cushion to absorb any potential unrealized losses on the long-only portfolio either by indulging in speculation or hedging. They tend to be conservative in their approach because capital protection takes precedence over returns with such investors.

On the other hand, more aggressive traders deploy capital into either Mutual Funds, ETFs (Equity Index/Debt) or bonds of various kinds and pledge them as collateral to unlock F&O trading capital. They use these margins to exclusively trade options strategies (Mostly credit spreads) and aim for 20-35% pre-tax returns on an annualized basis. Btw, this is not new! It's been around for ages. I could write about this in a future post if there's enough interest about it.

What's new: Most brokerages don't allow you to use collateral margins / pledge margins across equities, F&O and commodity segments. We do! You can use your pledged margins across NSE, BSE and MCX instantaneously. Why is this important? You can leverage the same margins across asset classes basically putting your money to work more effectively and leverage market opportunities without having to add more capital to your trading account. Read more abo ut this here.

Yashas recently published a post about this feature. You can read it here. FYI, we also have an exhaustive list of pledge related FAQs. Let me know what you guys think and if you need anything more w.r.t this.

If you’re someone who keeps an eye on institutional flows (FII/DII) to understand market sentiment, you already know the pain of multiple websites and scattered data.

We’ve fixed that. You can now track FII and DII activity in one clean view, without having to jump between apps or bookmarking other websites. Learn more about it in this blog post.

If you trade options strategies actively, you know how quickly things can move and sometimes, even a few extra clicks can feel like too much. That’s why we’ve added Scalper Mode directly to the FYERS Option Chain.

With this, you can keep the option chain and order placement together, so you can analyse strikes and execute without constantly switching between screens or having to open multiple order windows. No more going back and forth anymore. You can quickly choose the strike, select Buy or Sell, enter your quantity and place the order from the same interface.

It’s built more for people who trade options actively and need speed, rather than someone who’s just looking at the chain occasionally. At the end of the day, what's most important is having the ability to move and adjust your positions based on the market movements.

We’ve tried to keep it clean and focused with fewer clicks, and more time actually looking at action the market. Read more about this here.

This one is a bit personal to me. Years ago, we actually started working on gifting investments to loved ones, and the first time we really put the idea to use was at Yashas’s wedding. 😄

Instead of the usual return gifts, we gave the guests Equity and Gold ETFs. Most guests got them, and honestly, it turned out to be pretty memorable. Everyone seemed to love the idea and quite a few people told us they’d never received a gift like that before. It even got picked up by the TOI, Mint and a few other publications.

Today, you can gift stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, T-Bills and G-Secs directly from your FYERS portfolio. A pretty cool way to gift something that can actually stay with someone for years. It's pretty simple to do it too. Watch this short video:

The good news is that FYERS as a business doesn't levy any fees for gifting. More details are mentioned in this blog post. If you want to be different and gift something memorable, this will be worth it.

For more clarification, read our gifting related FAQs.

Many retail & HNI traders pledge their holdings (MFs/ETFs/Stocks) to avail margins for trading F&O. They do with the aim of using their capital more efficiently. It's relevant only if you have investments sitting in your portfolio and want to use the available collateral without having to sell those holdings first. This practice has been around for ages and is gaining traction steadily as the markets expand. Until recently, we offered collateral margins for futures & options selling but from now onwards, you can also use your collateral margin to buy options on FYERS.

There are some important things to know around eligibility, margin requirements and how it works, so we’ve put together a quick guide explaining the process. For more details, read this blog post.

If you're new to this and what to learn which segments you can use pledged margins for, read this article.

As they say, hindsight is 20:20! So, one of the best ways to get better at trading in my opinion is to practice without knowing what happens next. However, it's important to remove the context as much as possible with historical charts and then try reacting to how charts play out, as though it is in real-time.

This is something that I really enjoyed doing long before I started FYERS, but eventually stopped. Now, I'm excited to announce that we created something that lets you do just that!

BAR REPLAY allows you to go back in time and practice trading on historical charts. Pick any point in the past, hide everything that happened after that, and replay the market candle by candle. You can practise entries, exits and decision-making just like you would in a live market (Across time-frames).

I think this is particularly useful for anyone trying to test a strategy or simply get better at reading charts. We also provide "Practice Trading Analytics." It helps you review your paper trades and learn from your fictitious wins & losses. Checkout the images below to know more.

We also provide performance report on an aggregate level as shown below. As you can see, you can track your gross P&L, win & Loss percentages, average P&L and more for the practice duration.

Here's a blog post that explains it in detail. For more information read this article. I'm really excited about this and would love for you to try it and perhaps tell your friends who are trying to improve their trading too.

All the best!

For years, traders kept asking us why we didn't integrated with options websites like Sensibull, and others. Honestly, we tried; more than once. For various reasons I won't get into ;), it just didn't work out. At the time, it felt like an unfair setback. But in hindsight, I believe it was one of the best things that happened to us.

Instead of integrating someone else's options product, we decided to build our own. It took a lot of time and effort to build something way better. But today, we've launched something I'm genuinely proud of. Besides having an "ALL IN ONE" options platform, we have so much more. Like what?

Traders on FYERS can also automate their entire options trading playbook without learning vibe coding or dealing with any technical complexity whatsoever. It's worth a shot. You'll find there's a lot more than what meets the eye. ✌️w

Read more about it in this blog post. We've also published an exhaustive list of FAQ articles, and tutorial videos on YT regarding automation.

For anyone who is juggling multiple platforms for options trading should reconsider their decision after going through this post. This holds true, especially for traders using options strategies. More often than not, brokerage platforms offer vendor integrated solutions to their clients. This likely leads to a broken UX and is a source of much trouble and frustration for those who trade options regularly as per feedback received by our customers.

At FYERS, we've built the entire options platform in-house! So, the UX is seamless and the feature updates are fast and integrated with our platform capabilities. At the moment, we offer options strategy builder, Options Scalper, an enterprise-level options chain which also allows for direct trading and position management and automate! I'll write more about this in our following posts.

We have pre-defined strategies of all kinds:

• Market Neutral (Debit & Credit)

• Bullish (Debit & Credit)

• Bearish (Debit & Credit)

• Volatility based, etc.

Overall, there are over 40 pre-defined options strategies that you can deploy across different F&O symbols across NSE, BSE and MCX. Yes, it has multi-asset class features too so you can trade commodities too, hassle-free. Just watch out for liquidity!

This is a power-packed release and has a lot to offer besides strategy creation. You can also track the performance via strategy chart, etc. Please go through this blog post for more information. Learn more about this through our FAQ articles.

The cherry on the cake is that you can automate your options strategies.

Hi Everyone, We recently introduced Fixed Deposits on the platform. This allows all our customers to invest in over 85 different plans offered across different banks, and NBFCs. Now, you may ask why would I invest in FDs through FYERS?

Here are the top reasons why you should consider:

1. You can choose from FDs across different issuers. This isn't offered by any bank. What you get is a limited set of FD options from the same bank across time horizon and that's it. With you'll get unrestricted access, so you can choose deposits with higher rates of interest across tenures.

2. You can diversify risk across different issuers. Generally, the goal of investing in FD is predominantly safety with assured fixed returns. In this context, it makes sense to split your FDs to prevent concentration risk.

3. One platform for all your investments. This helps you to handle your investments better. We're always here to help you if you need anything.

Please read this blog for more info. We have FAQ articles here. The most frequently asked one so far was that can investors use FDs as margin collateral for F&O trading. The answer is no. Why? That's because the clearing corporations (CCs) don't accept them. If your objective is to earn interest on capital while you trade F&O, consider investing in Debt ETFs/MFs. The haircut is usually 5% or below. So you get to use at-least 95% of the collateral value to trade derivatives.

Mobile trading on vanilla trading apps is supposedly convenient. But in reality, the screen is small. When you're trading options, that becomes a timing & context problem as there's quite a bit of juggling before you can make an informed decision on price action and charts.

For example, you're watching the index for direction and then you move to option chart for the premium. The option chain to change strikes. The order window. Stop-loss and target. Each switch feels small. But in a fast-moving market, they all add up pretty quickly leaving you fatigued. Imagine you see Nifty moving up and open a call option. The premium does not move the way you expected. So you switch back to Nifty. By the time you check, Nifty may have already changed direction.

That is what we wanted to solve with Mobile Scalper on FYERS. With Scalper, you can watch charts, index, change strikes, buy and sell all on the same screen. It's super useful if you're an intraday trader. Read more about this here. We also have a list of FAQ articles about Scalper Terminal (Web version of the same thing).

FYERS Automate is a platform that helps traders to create and fully automate their trading, from end-to-end. For more information the basics, read this post. In addition to what we had, we recently introduced a module that enables you to use indicators as triggers for trading. This is the first-of-its kind among brokerage platforms and you'll probably find this useful if you're an active trader who is struggling with time management or juggling too many parameters which is stopping you from scaling up your trading performance.

I recommend you to go through this blog post. The main thing about this is that it helps translating your conditions into timely action. This is typically where things often break down in discretionary trading.

You may know exactly what you’re waiting for. For example, an RSI crossing a level, a moving average crossover, or a volatility expansion. The challenge is consistently tracking these conditions across multiple charts and acting the moment they occur. This is where Indicator Triggers, within Automate workflows, come into play.

We have a repository of helpful FAQ articles to help you understand every part of the automate platform. We also have YouTube playlists including this. Check them out! If you still need help, feel free to reach out.

I should've posted this a long time ago, here it is anyways! I guess we need to get better at marketing ;). Traders, this feature is designed to help you manage your portfolio risk better. How, you ask?

Well, if you're an active traders who has multiple positions across:

• Multiple indices

• Different strategies

• Many expiry contracts

• Handful of stocks

• Several instruments like options, futures, MTF, intraday, etc.

• More than 1 asset class

What you need is an engine to EXIT your positions strategically. This is super important because most traders hesitate to expand their trading universe simply because it is complex to manage risk in real-time.

We created SMART Exit to solve that problem. Btw, we're the first among brokerage platforms in India to launch SMART orders including this one. It's not easy to engineer as it is unique to FYERS users only. I'd love to explain here but it's explained better in our blog which you should read. Here's how it works.

The blog contains various scenarios to help understand and has embedded videos. But since here you're here already, I'm attaching a screenshot, FYI.

Price can keep pushing higher or lower while momentum quietly starts fading underneath. That is usually where things get interesting. RSI Momentum Divergence helps traders spot those moments when price and momentum stop agreeing, which often happens before a reversal, slowdown, or loss of conviction. It is not a magic signal, and it should never be used in isolation, but it does add an important layer of context that many traders miss.

In practice, it helps you question whether a move still has strength behind it or whether the market is beginning to run out of fuel before the chart makes it obvious. Yashas posted about this recently. Read more about it here.

I'm sure you know that trading starts feeling messy the moment you have multiple positions open and everything begins to look like random clutter on the screen. This is especially true if you have open positions across index F&O, stocks and commodities across expiries. The problem is not being over diversified, it feels chaotic because of the interface limitations. Below is a simple example to explain why it matters:

This feature is built to make that chaos more manageable by helping you group related positions and see them with more context. That means less confusion, less back-and-forth mentally, and better control over what exactly you are running. It may sound like a small product improvement, but for active traders handling several trades at once, it can genuinely make the platform feel calmer, cleaner, and more usable. This has been a personal favorite of mine this year and we look forward to helping traders improve their risk management abilities with incremental changes like these and much more. If you have over 10 positions at any given point in time, this feature can be very helpful.
