What's New

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.

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.

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.

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.
