Kite order nudges explained

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Kite order nudge is a non-blocking notification that Zerodha ’s Kite trading platform surfaces on the order window when the order, or the instrument it targets, matches a risk pattern or a market-structure condition that the exchange or Zerodha wants the client to see before the order leaves for the exchange. The nudge informs; in almost every case it does not block. You read it, you acknowledge it, and the order proceeds. This guide covers the six order-placement nudges traders meet most: the order-slicing nudge on large F&O orders, the surveillance-measures-and-risks nudge, the promoter-pledged-shares nudge, the Enhanced Surveillance Measure (ESM) nudge, the price-above-or-below-LTP nudge, and the illiquid-contract alert on far or thin derivatives.

The redesigned order window on the Kite mobile app is Zerodha’s reworked single screen for placing a trade, adding amount-based ordering, an in-window read-out of available funds, required margin and approximate charges, plus market protection, automatic order slicing and remembered settings, so a trader confirms the cost and the funding of an order without leaving the screen. It replaces an older window that required a separate trip to a funds page to check margin and forced a manual quantity calculation.
