Hello everybody,

This week I want to talk about 2 of the most awaited features on desktop.

Watchlists

With over 233 votes on Builder's Lab, watchlists became the top-voted feature. And we've released them with a multitude of capabilities, even more powerful than mobile. So all you watchlist keepers can take full advantage of it.

You can add, edit, remove, and reorder your scrips.

We have introduced 8 customizations in your watchlists with trackable, real-time data – LTP, price, price change %, open, high, low, close, and volume. You can use the settings button to select the columns you track regularly, or use all of them and spread the watchlist across the screen.

TIP: You should create a dashboard just for your watchlists.

You'll continue to have access to your beloved preset watchlists – NIFTY 50, NIFTY NEXT 50, and FnO watchlists.

Something that's not even released on Android yet – Watchlist Heatmaps. Switch from list view to Heatmap view to track your watchlist visually. Scrips are color-coded in red and green based on price movement, with varying shades to highlight the intensity of the move.

On hovering over any scrip inside a watchlist, you'll get two options:

1. View chart — the respective scrip chart will open in your active chart layout.

2. View option chain — you can switch over to the option chain of the respective scrip.

And lastly, all your watchlists created on mobile will be automatically synced across web and mobile.

New drawing tools

Until now on desktop, you only had access to horizontal lines, trendlines, and Fibonacci retracements. With this update, we have introduced 4 new drawing tools:

• 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

Coming up next on desktop

In the next couple of weeks, expect: market depth, indicator customizations, holdings on desktop (currently only viewable on Android), and the OI profile indicator on chart.

Punch Android app (version 2.0.0.86)

We received great feedback and appreciation for the OI profile indicator. We've now extended its capabilities to include a new mode, OI + OI Change, that overlays both the absolute Open Interest and the OI Change (increase/decrease) for each strike, for both Calls and Puts, in a single consolidated bar chart.

That's all for today. Thank you.
