No Android update this week. This one's about desktop.

About a month ago, I opened a closed beta for Punch Desktop to a small group of users. The first version had multi-layout charting (2 to 8 charts), multi-dashboard analysis, a full indicator panel, and key drawing tools.

The feedback was clear.

Charts and analysis are useful — but desktop becomes something you actually keep open only when you can execute from it. Without execution, it's a second screen for analysis. With execution, it's a trading desk.

So that's what the team has been building over the past month.

Execution on Punch Desktop

You can now place trades directly from Punch Desktop. All core order types are live:

Market, Limit, and Trigger orders — full execution across all supported instruments.

Protection Orders — SL and TP placed alongside your entry, same as mobile.

Drag and Drop SL/TP — adjust your stoploss and target by dragging them on the chart. This was one of the most-used features on mobile, and it works the same way on desktop.

Orderbook, Positions, and Holdings — a dedicated panel with full visibility into your open orders, active positions, and holdings. Everything in one view.

Scalper Joystick Presets — if you've configured SL/TP presets on mobile, those presets now apply on desktop too. The settings themselves still need to be configured from mobile for now — that'll change once Scalper Joystick comes natively to desktop.

Option Chain on Desktop

We had three feature-priority surveys running on Builder's Lab for desktop — Option Chain, Watchlists, and Option Data.

Option Chain came in first with 177 votes. Watchlists had 148. Option Data had 121.

Builder's Lab has always been how I decide what to build next — on mobile and now on desktop. The votes made this one straightforward.

Option Chain is now live on Punch Desktop. You can view and trade from the chain, with full customization of visible columns (excluding Greeks for now).

What's Coming Next

This BETA is a drop, not the final product.

Watchlists, option data, Scalper Joystick, a full array of drawing tools, and SMC indicators — all of these are on the roadmap for desktop. Over the next few weeks, I'll be doing more drops as each of these becomes ready.

Every feature on Punch mobile will come to desktop. These beta drops help us test and re-iterate so that when we eventually do a public launch, I can deliver a complete, feature-rich product — and most importantly, one that you've built with me.

The current BETA is in the hands of select users — Champions and traders who have actively contributed to Builder's Lab. If you're interested in getting access to the next drop, comment below. I'll include you.
