Punch Build 2.0.0.60 : Scalper Joystick is LIVE on Punch

Scalper Joystick is LIVE (currently only available for Punch Champions)

A lot of you have been asking for this feature for a long time.

Not just in one place, but everywhere we show up — in the Builder’s Lab, during product webinars, on 1-1 calls with traders, and even in Yugandhar’s SMC sessions.

One of our traders pretty much summed this feature up in a post on the Builder’s Lab:

“Need direct setting of target and stoploss on chart, need a setting where we can predefine target (say 10%) and stoploss (say 2%) and each time you place order the target and SL gets placed on chart accordingly and we should be able to drag it.”

What came through very clearly was not just what was needed, but how urgently it was needed.

“It’s very necessary, most important and most powerful feature for option scalpers. Please add this immediately, very very very requested.”

“Very important and a must feature for scalping.”

Across all of them, the underlying problem was the same. Too many steps between intent and execution.

Scalper Joystick is our attempt to remove those steps.

This feature wasn’t designed in isolation. It came from reading long threads, re-reading the same requests week after week, and watching how many of you were already trying to bend Punch to fit fast, short-horizon trades.

At its core, the Scalper Joystick speaks to 4 different use cases repeatedly highlighted by our traders.

First, pre-defining the stoploss, target and lot size

With the Scalper Joystick, you can now pre-define SL/TP/Lot size settings for all your trades executed via the Scalper Joystick.

Second, entry and risk are no longer separate actions.

When you place a trade using Scalper Joystick, the entry goes in along with a pre-defined SL and target, automatically. The position is created with its exits already in place. Hence, an order executed via the Joystick is a bracket order by default.

Third, execution no longer requires an order form.

Buy, Sell, and Exit happen with a single tap. No intermediate screens. No confirmations. This applies whether you’re trading from a single chart or using split view.

This was called out repeatedly by traders, especially during volatile phases:

“One tap instant Buy/Sell/Exit instead of two or three taps. This is very crucial for trade management during volatile times.”

Fourth, you can place limit or trigger orders directly from the chart itself while using Scalper Joystick.

For now, it works for options trading only — including NIFTY, SENSEX, and BANKNIFTY — since the majority of scalping activity happens in these indices. Once the upcoming feature Protection Orders for Equity goes live, Scalper Joystick will extend to equities, stock options, and futures.

Another small but significant problem that gets solved was related to split view.

Many of you pointed out that the order form would often occlude the bottom chart while trading in split mode. This became a key inspiration for building Scalper mode as a Joystick. It sits just below the bottom chart, so you retain full visibility of both charts throughout entry and exit.

Nothing else about Punch changes when you enter this mode. You’re not moving into a different product or a restricted environment. It’s simply a different execution layer.

From a systems perspective, this required significant reworking how orders are constructed and sent. (A key reason for why it took us a bit longer to develop this feature)

One thing that is still missing — and many of you have already pointed this out — is Trailing SL inside Scalper Joystick.

We’re adding that too.

It’s currently in testing. This has taken longer than we originally expected due to a few issues we had to work through on the order-management side. I know this delay has been frustrating, and that feedback is fair. We’ll share an update as soon as it’s ready to go live.

Scalper Joystick exists because enough of you pushed for it, explained why it mattered, and didn’t let the request die out.

It’s LIVE now.

Use it, break it, and tell us what still feels off. We’ll keep iterating.

Punch Build 2.0.0.59 : SMC indicators, New drawing tools and Full indicator customizations

A few weeks ago, we made Drag & Drop SL/TP and new chart types (Heiken Ashi, Renko, Line & Bars) available to all users.

Since then, we’ve been able to close a large number of pending requests from the Builder’s Lab. I’ve personally been tracking the feedback coming in, and I genuinely hope you like what we’ve shipped in this release.

This week’s focus has been on SMC indicators, new drawing tools, full indicator customisation, and several small fixes that should make day-to-day trading on Punch noticeably smoother.

Let’s get into it.

Smart Money Indicators 🧠

(2nd most voted feature on Punch — 314 votes)

Fact: Drag & Drop SL remains the most voted feature with 476 votes.

Fair Value Gap (FVG)

Fair Value Gaps highlight price imbalances created by aggressive buying or selling, which often act as future areas of interest.

We now support three FVG variants, each suited to different trading workflows:

FVG Sessions

Marks the first fair value gap of each trading session, along with the session range.

This keeps the focus on the most significant daily imbalance and allows you to track how price interacts with it through the session.

Once a gap is filled, it fades visually, helping identify potential inverse reactions.

Intended for intraday charts only.

FVG Dynamic

Detects all fair value gaps and automatically removes them once price fills the midpoint or the full gap.

This keeps charts clean and focused on active, unmitigated imbalances.

FVG Fixed

Displays all detected gaps with size and duration filtering.

You can set a minimum gap size and limit how long gaps remain visible, helping filter out less meaningful imbalances.

All FVG indicators support visibility toggles and opacity controls.

Over the last few months, we’ve done multiple educational webinars with Yugandhar Sir on Smart Money Concepts, and he has played a huge role in helping thousands of traders understand these ideas.

Now, you finally have the indicators to start applying everything we’ve been learning.

(Champion access only · General access from 15th Feb)

New Drawing Tools ✏️

We’ve added new drawing tools focused on marking structure, levels, and directional bias with more control:

Vertical Line – for session boundaries and time-based references
Trendline Ray – draws a directional trendline extending forward from a single anchor point
Horizontal Ray – for projecting levels forward without extending both sides
Extended Line – for structure and trend projection beyond visible candles

These tools are designed to reduce workarounds and repeated adjustments during active analysis.

(Champion access only · General access from 15th Feb)

Indicator Customisation (For Everyone) 🧰

We’ve received a lot of requests around indicator customisation — hiding basis lines, changing thickness, adjusting colours, and more.

Every indicator now comes with a customisation panel, giving you full control over:

Visibility (show/hide plots)
Colours and opacity
Line thickness
Line styles (solid / dotted)

This applies to all indicators and is available to all users starting today.

Fixes & Improvements 🛠️

These were the three major feature updates this week. Alongside that, we’ve shipped a set of important fixes to make everyday trading simpler and more reliable.

Line Chart Improvements

Line chart colour updated to purple for better contrast across light and dark themes
Rendering behaviour standardised for improved visual stability across devices

Bug Fixes

Fixed issues with trendline and crosshair interaction
Improved decimal formatting on crosshair values for better price precision

We also received reports of trendlines shifting after placement or across sessions. This is now fixed ✅

That’s all for this week.

I truly mean it when I say “We hear you.” Every post on the Builder’s Lab is read, discussed, and reviewed by the team. Please keep the feedback coming — we’ll keep building faster and better, week after week

A Small Note from me 📔

I know many of you have been waiting for Scalper Mode. We’ve faced a few delays, but I’m confident we’ll be ready to release it by next weekend. Just a few final touches left.

Thanks for your patience — and for building Punch with us.

Punch Build 2.0.57 : Small tweaks. Big impact.

This week, we shipped 5 subtle but powerful improvements that make day-to-day trading on Punch faster, cleaner, and more intuitive.

🎯 Customise Your Call/Put Line Actions

You can now choose what happens when you tap on Call or Put lines.

Set it so that:

A single tap opens the order form, and
A long press opens the option chart

—or swap the two, based on how you trade.

📍 Find it here:

Index chart → Call/Put line settings → Edit (Expiry) → Scroll down to set your preference.

📈 Option Price Charts — Now 1-Tap Away

Option charts are now just 1-tap away — from wherever you are.

You can now access charts directly from:

Order Form
Orderbook
Positions
Holdings

Tap on the Chart icon (beside the scrip name) to open the respective option price chart.

➕ 1-Click Horizontal Lines

Want to mark key levels instantly?

Now, just activate the crosshair and tap the + icon to drop a horizontal line on the chart — no extra steps needed.

This is perfect for drawing zones, supports, resistances while tracking live price.

📊 Heiken Ashi Now Shows Real Candle Close Too

When using Heiken Ashi, you’ll now see:

The LTP (Live Traded Price) and
The Close of the last Heiken Ashi candle

Why this matters:

• Heiken Ashi candles are smoothed, so their OHLC differ from the actual traded OHLC.
• Showing the live traded price alongside the Heiken Ashi close helps you validate breakouts, reversals, and price action signals without losing the smoothing benefit.

🔍 Full P&L Values

You asked. We listened.

We’ve stopped rounding off P&L values like ₹2.7K.

Now you’ll see the full value, like ₹2764 — clearer, more accurate, and easier to track at a glance.

🧼 Fixes You’ll Notice

❌ Drawing tools disappearing after expiry on Spot charts — now fixed
🔐 Login friction after logout — now re-login with just biometrics, no OTP needed

🧠 Why These Matter

Each of these changes was raised on Builder’s Lab.

They might look small in isolation, but together, they dramatically improve trading speed and flow — and their impact compounds with every session.
