Yukti Web, the browser terminal
The whole terminal in a browser tab
Nothing to install, nothing to update, and the same account as the app. Twenty-six screens of the web terminal, each shown next to a plain explanation of what it does, how to arrange it and where people get caught. Click a pane on the workspace to see what it is for, open any field on the order ticket, and search every keyboard shortcut.
The web terminal
One workspace, three things open at onceThe full terminal, with the order ticket and the chart as they appear while you work. Every other screen is one click from here.
At a glance
A faster terminal is not a safer one. Investments in securities are subject to market risks; read all the related documents carefully. Every screen shown on this page is an illustration of the interface, with figures that are examples rather than quotes, positions or results of any kind. A stop-loss is a trigger to place an order and not a guarantee of a price. An intraday product is squared off automatically before the close, at whatever the market offers. Leveraged positions can lose more than the amount you committed. Nothing on this page is investment advice or a recommendation to deal in any security. Sign in only at the address published on our own website, typed or bookmarked by you, and never from a link in a message or an email: we will never ask you for your password or your one-time password.
Feature tour
Ten screens. Pick one on the left and the browser window shows it, with what the screen is for, what it gives you, the facts worth knowing and the thing people most often get wrong in it. Use the arrow keys to move through the list.
Market watchSlot D · 2560 x 1600 · d-market-watch.png
Market watch
The list you work fromSeveral named lists, each holding any instrument from any segment the account has, with the columns you choose rather than the columns somebody else chose. It is the pane everything else is launched from.
- Columns are yours to pick and reorder, and the choice is saved against the account rather than the machine.
- An instrument can sit in more than one list, so a long-term list and a this-week list can share a name.
- The ticket, the chart and the depth all open from a row without leaving the pane.
A hundred instruments across eight lists feels like diligence and reads like noise. A terminal makes it easy to watch more than you can actually think about, which is a trap the mouse hides from you.
Screens are illustrations of the interface. Instrument names, prices, quantities and balances shown in them are examples and are not quotes, recommendations or results. Features, order types and segments available on a given account depend on what is activated for it, on the exchange and on our risk policy, and are amended from time to time.
Your first session, screen by screen
Six steps from a browser tab to a position you understand. Each one shows the screen you will be looking at and the two or three things to get right on it before moving on.
Sign inSlot N · 2560 x 1600 · n-signin.png
Reach the terminal the safe way, then sign in
Type the address published on our own website, or use a bookmark you made yourself, and check the address and the padlock before you type anything. A page that looks exactly right at a slightly different address is the commonest attack on a browser terminal, and a bookmark defeats it entirely.
- Never arrive from a link in a message, an email or an advertisement.
- Bookmark it the first time, and use the bookmark every time after that.
- Sign in with your client code and password, then the second factor.
The workspace, pane by pane
The terminal is six panes on one screen, and the whole point of a browser terminal is that you can see them at the same time. Click a marker to read what a pane is for, how to arrange it and what it will not do.
The top bar: search, funds and account
Search reaches any instrument in any segment, the funds and margin strip sits beside it, and the account menu carries reports, settings, security and support. It is the one strip that never moves, whatever else you rearrange.
Arrange it once, and it stays
Pane widths, which columns are shown in the market watch, the order of your lists and your chart defaults are saved against the account rather than the browser. Sign in on a different machine and the workspace you built is already there, which is the main practical argument for a browser terminal over a local installation.
Worth doing: set it up properly once, on the machine you use most.
Everything is reachable without the mouse
Search, the order ticket, the panes and the common actions all have a key. On a day when the market is moving, the difference between a trader who knows four shortcuts and one who does not is measured in seconds, and seconds are what the whole terminal exists to save.
Start with four: search, buy, sell and cancel. The rest can wait.
A browser tab is still a browser tab
Closing the tab does not cancel anything: an order accepted by the exchange is at the exchange and keeps resting, triggering or expiring exactly as instructed. What a closed tab loses is your ability to act, which is an argument for protective orders rather than for leaving a machine switched on.
Also: a session expires on inactivity and at the end of the trading day.
The order ticket, field by field
The same eight fields appear on every order, and which of them are active depends on the order type you picked. Click a marker on the ticket, or use the list underneath. Two of them cause most of the trouble: the product field and the validity field.
Instrument and exchange
The contract you are about to deal in, with the exchange the order will be sent to. The same name can trade on more than one exchange, and the ticket tells you which one this order is for.
The markers are positioned for the reference screenshot. When the production capture for this screen is supplied, the marker positions are a single line of coordinates in the page source and move with it. The fields themselves, and which of them are active for a given order type, are set by the exchange and by the segment.
Ten order types, side by side
The same ten types as the app, because it is the same account reaching the same exchanges. What you enter, the exact condition that makes it execute, and the way each one most commonly disappoints people.
| Code | Order type | What you enter | It executes when | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MKT | Market order | Quantity only. The price box is ignored. | Immediately, against the best available counterparty, then the next best until the quantity is filled. | On an illiquid contract the second half of the quantity can fill far from the first half, and you will not see it coming. |
| LMT | Limit order | Quantity and the price you are willing to accept. | Somebody is willing to trade at your price or better. Until then it rests on the order book. | It can sit all day and expire unfilled, which is a problem only if you believed you had a position. |
| SL | Stop-loss limit | Quantity, a trigger price and a limit price. | The trigger activates it, and it then fills only at your limit price or better. | If the market gaps past your limit it activates and never fills, so the position stays open while the loss grows. |
| SL-M | Stop-loss market | Quantity and a trigger price. No limit price. | The trigger activates it and it executes at whatever the market is offering. | The fill can be well below the trigger on a gap. A stop-loss is a trigger to place an order, not a guarantee of a price. |
| CO | Cover order | Quantity, the entry, and a compulsory stop-loss trigger inside the permitted range. | The entry fills first; the stop-loss sits at the exchange from that moment. | The stop-loss can be moved in your favour but not removed, and the position is intraday, so it is squared off before the close. |
| BO | Bracket order | Quantity, entry, stop-loss and target, with an optional trailing step. | The entry fills, then stop-loss and target both sit live. The first one hit cancels the other. | Cancelling the parent cancels the children, which surprises people half way through managing a trade. |
| GTT | Good till triggered | The instrument, a trigger price and the order to place when it is reached. | The trigger price is reached in the market, within the validity the facility allows. | Nothing rests at the exchange while it waits, so funds or margin must be there at the moment it triggers. |
| AMO | After-market order | The ordinary ticket. It is a normal order with a delayed submission. | It is sent at the start of the next session and then behaves like any other order of its type. | It is not validated by the exchange while it waits, so a bad price or quantity is rejected the next morning. |
| ICE | Iceberg and disclosed quantity | The total quantity and either the number of slices or the quantity to disclose. | Each slice is placed as its own order, and the next is released as the previous one fills. | Working an order takes time and the price can leave. Each slice is a separate executed order for brokerage. |
| BKT | Basket order | Each leg with its own instrument, side, quantity, order type and product. | Every leg is submitted when you execute the basket, and each then lives or dies on its own merits. | A basket is not all-or-nothing. One leg can fill while another is rejected, leaving exposure you never intended. |
Which order types are available in which segment, the hours during which each may be placed, any limit on quantity or on the number of legs, and the margin a given order requires are set by the exchange and by our own risk policy, and are amended from time to time. Availability of a particular order type may be withdrawn, including at short notice. Nothing here is a recommendation to use any order type.
Every shortcut, searchable
A terminal is faster without a mouse, and on a day when the market is moving that difference is the whole argument for using one. Search the list, or narrow it to the group you are learning. Four of them will do most of the work.
All 24 shortcuts
The shortcut overlayThe same list inside the terminal, so you never have to come back to this page for it.
Learn four, then stop
Nobody learns twenty-four shortcuts in a week, and trying is how people end up using none. Learn the four that cover most of a session, and add one a week after that if you feel like it.
- Search to get to any instrument without touching the mouse.
- Buy and sell to open the ticket on whatever is selected, already filled in.
- Cancel to close the ticket without sending, which is the one you will want in a hurry.
- Orders to jump to the order book and see what actually happened.
Shortcuts are listed as they are set in the terminal and may be amended. On a Mac, read the control key as the command key where the two differ. A shortcut never places an order on its own: the ticket still has to be submitted, and the confirmation step is not skippable.
Light, dark and legible
The terminal follows whatever your operating system is set to, and you can override it. This is not decoration: most of the day is spent reading dense numeric tables, and a screen that fights you at four in the afternoon costs more than it saves.
LightThe default, and what most people screenshot.
DarkThe same workspace, the same information, no glare.
It follows the system, until you say otherwise
Set the machine to dark at sunset and the terminal goes with it. If you would rather it stayed one way, that is a setting, and it is saved against the account rather than the browser, so a different machine opens the way you left the last one.
Where: the account menu, then appearance.
Zoom is respected, not broken
The browser's own zoom works properly: the panes reflow instead of clipping, and the order ticket stays complete at a larger text size. If you read a screen at one hundred and twenty five per cent, you should be able to trade at it too.
Check once: open the order ticket at the zoom you actually use.
Never colour alone
Direction is carried by a sign and a word as well as by a colour, because a meaningful number of people cannot separate red from green, and because a bright room washes out both. A loss has to read as a loss on a laptop screen by a window.
Also: every control is reachable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring.
QuanteX strategies, shown in the terminal
QuanteX is the algo platform: a strategy builder, and strategy portfolios that run on a published rule set. It is linked to the terminal rather than merged with it, so orders a strategy places appear here as ordinary orders, tagged with the strategy that placed them.
Strategy orders in the order bookApproved, placed, and sitting beside everything you did yourself.
Three things that stay true
You can run a strategy without giving up any part of the control you have over your own account.
- Nothing goes out until you approve it. A rule firing produces a basket for you to accept, change or ignore. Ignoring it is a valid answer and the strategy records that you did.
- The securities stay in your own demat account. QuanteX never holds them, there is no pooling and there is no second account anywhere.
- One ledger and one contract note. Margin comes from the same balance, and a strategy's trade is on the same contract note as the one you placed by hand.
QuanteX strategy portfolios are model portfolios built on disclosed rules. They are not a portfolio management service, involve no discretion over client accounts and do not constitute investment advice. Backtested and historical figures are not indicative of future results.
QuanteX opens in another tab, on the same account
Build a rule set and test it before you ever place an order through it, or read the published rules behind a strategy portfolio. The orders it produces land in the order book you have just been looking at.
Security, and the six rules worth memorising
A terminal in a browser is reached by typing an address, which is exactly what makes it worth impersonating. The platform's job is to make an account hard to misuse; the first rule below is the one that is entirely yours.
Security and sessionsThe second factor, the active session and the sign-in history.
What the terminal does
- A second factor that never travels. A time-based one-time password generated by an authenticator application on your own device, rather than a code sent over a message.
- One live session at a time. Signing in elsewhere ends this one, and the sign-in history shows when and from what kind of device.
- Sessions expire. On inactivity, and at the end of the trading day. An open tab left overnight is not an open session.
- Encrypted in transit, with the padlock in the address bar as the thing you check before typing anything.
- Withdrawals only to a mapped bank account in your own name, and changing that mapping is a verified request rather than a setting.
- Alerts you cannot switch off for a sign-in on a new device, a password change, a change of registered contacts and a withdrawal request.
Six rules, and they are the whole of it
- Reach the terminal only from an address you typed or bookmarked yourself. Not from a link in a message, an email or an advertisement, and not from a search result you have not read carefully. Check the address and the padlock before you type your password. A page that looks exactly right but sits at a slightly different address is the commonest attack on a browser terminal, and it is defeated entirely by a bookmark.
- Nobody from here will ever ask for your password or your one-time password. Not support, not a relationship manager, not somebody who already knows your name, your client code and your last trade. Anybody asking is committing a fraud. End the call and telephone us on the published number instead.
- Never let anybody guide you through the screen. No genuine support call needs remote access, screen sharing or a browser extension installed on your machine. If somebody is directing which buttons to press while they wait, the purpose is your money.
- Do not sign in on a shared or public machine, and never on a public network you do not control. If you must, use a private window, sign out fully afterwards and change your password from your own machine.
- Install nothing to make the terminal work. It needs no extension, no plug-in, no helper application and no certificate. Anything claiming otherwise, however official it looks, is not from us.
- Nobody is permitted to trade on your account but you. Handing your credentials to a friend, an advisor or a person promising to manage your money is a breach of your own agreement with us and voids the protection that comes with the account. Authority over an account is granted formally and in writing, never by sharing a password.
What you need, and what it costs
A current browser and an account. There is nothing to install, nothing to keep updated and no charge for the terminal itself.
Reports and statementsContract notes, the ledger, profit and loss, and the tax statement.
The record, and which one settles a question
The terminal's screens are a convenience. The contract note and the funds ledger are the record, and any dispute starts from them.
- Contract note, emailed to your registered address and downloadable here, with brokerage and every statutory charge shown separately.
- Funds ledger, for any period, with the running balance. This is what you reconcile against, not the balance on a screen.
- Profit and loss, and the tax statement, arranged for a return. Useful for your accountant, and not itself tax advice.
- Depository statements, issued to you by the depository directly, which is the check that does not pass through us.
- Browser
- A current version of any mainstream browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on Windows, macOS or Linux. Keep it updated, because browser security updates are doing a meaningful part of the work here.
- Screen
- The workspace is built for a laptop screen and upwards. It works on a tablet in landscape; a phone is better served by the Yukti First app, which is designed for it rather than squeezed into it.
- What must be allowed
- JavaScript and cookies for the terminal's own address. Nothing else: no extension, no plug-in, no helper application and no certificate to install. If a page asks you to install something to continue, it is not ours.
- An account with us
- A client code. The terminal is for operating an account, so opening one comes first; it can be done from the form at the foot of this page.
- An authenticator application
- Any standard time-based one-time password application, for the second factor. Free, and on both mobile app stores.
- A connection
- Orders, quotes and statements need one. A dropped connection does not cancel an order already accepted by the exchange, and the terminal tells you plainly when what you are looking at is stale.
- Where to sign in
- At the address published on our own website, typed or bookmarked by you. The live terminal address is shown as XXX here until it is confirmed. We never send a sign-in link by message or email.
- What it costs
- Nothing for the terminal, nothing for charts, alerts or reports, and no platform or subscription fee. Brokerage is a flat ₹20 per executed order, plus the statutory charges that are not ours: securities transaction tax, the exchange transaction charge, the SEBI turnover fee, stamp duty, goods and services tax on the brokerage and the exchange and depository charges, and a depository charge on a delivery sell.
Screen index, A to Z
Every image slot on this page, lettered. Each one says what the capture has to show, where on the page it appears and what size to export it at. Until a file is supplied the slot renders as a labelled placeholder inside its browser frame, so the page is complete and presentable either way.
| Slot | Screen | What it must show | Where it appears | Export size and file | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | The workspace | The whole terminal with every pane in use: market watch, chart, order ticket, orders and positions, and the funds strip. This one capture is used twice, in the hero and under the clickable pane markers, so it has to be the cleanest in the set. | Hero, and the workspace markers | 2560 x 1600a-workspace.png | Placeholder |
| B | Order ticket | The ticket alone, cropped close, with every field visible and nothing half typed. May reuse the capture for slot T. | Hero, left window | 1600 x 1000b-order-ticket.png | Placeholder |
| C | Chart | A chart with one indicator and one drawn level, cropped close. Neutral price action rather than a dramatic rally. | Hero, right window | 1600 x 1000c-chart.png | Placeholder |
| D | Market watch | The market watch with the list switcher visible and instruments from more than one segment in it, so the columns and the list tabs are both legible. | Feature tour, screen 1 | 2560 x 1600d-market-watch.png | Placeholder |
| E | Search and the instrument snapshot | The search with a query typed and results from more than one exchange, with the snapshot panel it opens beside it. | Feature tour, screen 2 | 2560 x 1600e-search.png | Placeholder |
| F | Order window | The ticket open over the workspace mid-entry, with the product and validity fields and the margin line clearly legible. | Feature tour, screen 3 | 2560 x 1600f-order-window.png | Placeholder |
| G | Order book and trade book | Open, executed and rejected orders together, with a rejection reason showing on one of them. The rejection is the useful part of this capture. | Feature tour, screen 4 | 2560 x 1600g-order-book.png | Placeholder |
| H | Positions | Open positions with the product and margin columns legible, so intraday and carried positions can be told apart. Mixed result, not all green. | Feature tour, screen 5 | 2560 x 1600h-positions.png | Placeholder |
| I | Holdings | Delivery holdings with settled quantity distinguishable from quantity bought today. No real client code anywhere in frame. | Feature tour, screen 6 | 2560 x 1600i-holdings.png | Placeholder |
| J | Funds and margin | Available balance, margin used and margin available, with the add and withdraw actions visible. Masked bank account, demonstration figures. | Feature tour, screen 7 | 2560 x 1600j-funds.png | Placeholder |
| K | Charts, full screen | The chart expanded across the workspace with two indicators, a drawn level and the toolbar visible. The order action from the chart should be in frame. | Feature tour, screen 8 | 2560 x 1600k-chart-full.png | Placeholder |
| L | Option chain | The chain for one underlying and one expiry, with calls and puts either side of the strikes and the expiry selector visible. | Feature tour, screen 9 | 2560 x 1600l-option-chain.png | Placeholder |
| M | Reports, settings and support | The account area with statements, reports, settings, security and support visible as entries. No personal detail in the header. | Feature tour, screen 10 | 2560 x 1600m-reports.png | Placeholder |
| N | Sign in | The sign-in page with the client code field. Nothing typed into the password field, and no real address bar in frame. | First session, step 1 | 2560 x 1600n-signin.png | Placeholder |
| O | Second factor | The authenticator step of signing in, and the security screen where it is set up. Any pairing code must be fake and expired. | First session, step 2 | 2560 x 1600o-second-factor.png | Placeholder |
| P | Arranging the workspace | A pane being resized or a column being added, so it is obvious that the arrangement is yours to change and that it is saved. | First session, step 3 | 2560 x 1600p-arrange.png | Placeholder |
| Q | Building a market watch | An instrument being added to a named list, so naming and reordering are both visible in one frame. | First session, step 4 | 2560 x 1600q-build-watch.png | Placeholder |
| R | A first order, small | The ticket with a small quantity and the confirmation step, with product and validity legible. This is the screen people study most, so it must be sharp. | First session, step 5 | 2560 x 1600r-first-order.png | Placeholder |
| S | Order book and the contract note | The executed order with its charges breakdown, or the statements screen with the contract note entry. Figures illustrative, charges plausible. | First session, step 6 | 2560 x 1600s-contract-note.png | Placeholder |
| T | Order ticket, all eight fields | The reference capture for the clickable markers: the ticket open over the workspace with all eight fields visible in the usual order and nothing scrolled out of view. | Order ticket, marker base | 2560 x 1600t-ticket-fields.png | Placeholder |
| U | Light theme | The whole workspace in the light theme. Whatever arrangement is chosen, slot V must be the identical screen in dark. | Light and dark, upper | 2560 x 1600u-light.png | Placeholder |
| V | Dark theme | The identical screen to slot U, in dark, with the same data on it. A different screen here defeats the comparison. | Light and dark, lower | 2560 x 1600v-dark.png | Placeholder |
| W | Strategy orders in the order book | The order book with orders tagged to a QuanteX strategy alongside orders placed by hand, so the tagging is obvious. | QuanteX section | 2560 x 1600w-quantex-orders.png | Placeholder |
| X | Security and sessions | The second factor, the active session and the sign-in history. No device names or locations that identify a person. | Security section | 2560 x 1600x-security.png | Placeholder |
| Y | Reports and statements | The statements list: contract notes, ledger, profit and loss, tax statement, margin statement, with a period selector in frame. | Requirements section | 2560 x 1600y-reports.png | Placeholder |
| Z | The shortcut overlay | The in-terminal shortcut overlay open over the workspace. It should match the shortcut list on this page, so capture it after the list is final. | Shortcuts section | 2560 x 1600z-shortcuts.png | Placeholder |
One line each, in one place
Every slot on this page is driven by a single list in the page source. Supplying a capture means putting its path into that list; nothing else on the page has to change, and the placeholder disappears by itself.
Search the page source for SHOTS. It is one entry per slot, in letter order, and it is the only place a file name appears.
Put the image path into src for that slot, for example src: "screens/a-workspace.png". A full address works equally well.
The placeholder hides itself, the capture fills the browser frame, the alternative text comes from the same entry and the status column above turns to Supplied.
The pills above this table say how many slots are supplied. When that figure reaches twenty-six, every placeholder on the page has gone.
SHOTS = {
A: { t:"The workspace", px:"2560 x 1600", f:"a-workspace.png", src:"screens/a-workspace.png" },
B: { t:"Order ticket", px:"1600 x 1000", f:"b-order-ticket.png", src:"" },
C: { t:"Chart", px:"1600 x 1000", f:"c-chart.png", src:"" },
...
}Slot A above has a file and renders as a capture. Slots B and C have an empty src and render as placeholders. The abbreviated entries here leave out the description fields, which are already filled in on the page and do not need touching.
Eight rules for the captures themselves
- Capture from a demonstration account, never a client's. A screenshot carrying a real client code, a real holding or a real bank account is a disclosure, and once it is on a website it is published. Use an internal account created for the purpose.
- No identifying detail anywhere in frame. Name, client code, mobile number, email, bank account, address, nominee. On a wide capture, check the header strip and the edge of every pane, which is where these survive a careless crop.
- Capture the viewport, not the whole browser. The page draws its own window chrome, address bar and tabs, so a capture that includes a real browser's chrome will appear inside a second one. Export the page area only.
- Nothing of your own machine in frame. No bookmarks bar, no extension icons, no other tabs, no desktop, no notification. These date a screenshot faster than anything else on it and they identify the person who took it.
- Figures must be plausible and clearly illustrative. Prices, quantities and balances in a marketing capture are examples. Keep them realistic enough not to look absurd and far enough from any real session that nobody can read them as a quote or a result.
- Never show a profit as an inducement. A screen full of green gains presented as what the terminal does is a performance representation, and it is exactly the thing that is not permitted. Prefer a neutral or mixed state, which is also more honest about what a market does.
- One machine, one theme, one zoom level per set. Capture at a 16 by 10 viewport at the size given against each slot, at one hundred per cent zoom. The light and dark pair in the theme section is the one deliberate exception.
- Capture at two times for a sharp result. A one-to-one capture of a dense table looks soft on a modern screen. Use a device pixel ratio of two, or capture at twice the size given and export down.
Every capture published on this page must carry the illustration note. The page states, in the risk band and under the tour, that screens are illustrations of the interface and that the figures in them are examples rather than quotes, positions or results. Keep that wording when the real captures go in, and have the compliance officer approve the final set before it is published, as any other advertisement would be.
