Scalper Joystick — Now Open to Everyone

Scalper Joystick was originally planned as a Champion-only early access feature.

But the demand for this one was unlike anything we've seen before — not just on Builder's Lab, but on webinars, 1-1 calls, SMC sessions.

So we've decided to open Scalper Joystick to everyone, immediately.

This is a one-time decision, driven purely by demand.

If you missed the original release note — Scalper Joystick lets you pre-define SL/TP/Lot size, execute with a single tap (no order form), and place bracket orders by default. It sits below the chart so you retain full visibility in split view.

Advanced Option Chain — Now Live for All

Also out of early access as of today.

For those who missed it:

• Toggle 15+ data points: LTP, Volume, OI, Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega), IV, % OI Change, OHLC

• Show/Hide OI Bars

• Enable % Change for intraday tracking

Candle Customization

A few weeks ago, I read this on Builder's Lab:

"Market pulse wale charts Punch par leke aao. Woh green red candle ka color better tha"

And a follow-up comment:

"Market pulse style green/red candle provide better visual clarity. Keeping the same colours in punch will really help traders."

This got me thinking about the hundreds of traders I've spoken to over the past 6 years. Charts are a visual habit. One user once told me — "ankho ko bhi aadat padh jati hai."

Punch is an execution platform, but many of you still do your analysis on TradingView or Market Pulse. You shouldn't have to re-learn your visual cues just because you switched apps.

So we've made candles fully customizable — across all chart types.

You can now set:

• Body & Border colour

• Up vs down colour

• Setting for hollow candles

We've also added templates for TradingView and Market Pulse colour schemes. If you want your Punch charts to look exactly like them — you now can.

Indicator Source Customization

A couple of weeks ago we shipped indicator customization — colours, visibility, line thickness.

But one piece was missing: source.

For example, you can change EMA source to OHLC, HL2 or HLC3. For Bollinger Bands, you can change the MA type to EMA, SMA, WMA, DEMA, or TEMA.

Small change. More depth to your analysis.

Pre-set Watchlists

A few weeks ago I put up a poll on Builder's Lab asking which watchlists you wanted on Punch.

75 comments later, we had a laundry list.

We've started building them. For now, we've added:

• NIFTY 50

• NIFTY NEXT 50

• F&O Stocks

These were the most requested.

Sector watchlists had big demand too — that's next. After that, we'll move to finer details. Maybe even an option to import your watchlist via CSV.

Let me know in the comments if that's a good idea.

On App Lags and Chart Loading Delays

For the past few days, some of you have reported app lags and chart loading issues.

Thanks to those of you who've shared screen recordings and detailed stories on where exactly the issue occurred. It's helping the team identify the root cause.

Identification is the hard part. Fixing is easier once we know what's broken.

We'll be releasing fixes shortly.

That's all for this week.
