Market Depth on WebNotes

20-level market depth on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The 20-level market depth feature on Kite renders 20 levels of bid and 20 levels of ask quotes on the NSE order book for any tradable instrument. This is a paid feature on top of the default 5-level depth (market depth view on Kite ), aimed at active intraday traders who want a fuller view of resting liquidity. Where the standard book shows the best five buy and five sell quotes, the 20-level book shows the best twenty of each, so a trader can see size that is queued well away from the touch.

Average price on the Kite market depth

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Average price field on the Kite market depth panel is the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of all trades on the scrip during the current trading day. It is not a simple average of the day’s prices; it weights each price by the quantity traded at that price.

Formula

For a sequence of trades on a day:

VWAP = Σ (Price_i x Quantity_i) / Σ Quantity_i

Where i indexes every trade from market open. The exchange computes and publishes this; Kite reads the live VWAP from the exchange feed.

The Kite market depth panel supports click-to-order at any of the visible bid or ask price levels. This is a fast-execution path: instead of opening the order ticket and typing a price, click the price level in the depth column to pre-fill a limit order at that price.

Market depth on Kite is the 5-level visible order book for a tradable instrument: the top five buy quotes (bids) and the top five sell quotes (asks), each with its aggregate quantity. It is what was historically called “Level 2 data” in the West. Kite renders the depth in a side panel on web and in the quote-screen on the mobile app.

How to open the depth panel

Platform	Open path
Kite web	Click the scrip name in the marketwatch row, or use the keyboard shortcut F12 with a row focused
Kite mobile app	Tap the scrip row; the quote screen shows depth in the lower half

The depth panel updates in real time during market hours.
