You can place a buy or sell order on Kite , Zerodha’s trading platform, without first adding the instrument to a marketwatch . The marketwatch is a watchlist for tracking live prices, not a precondition for trading. Kite opens an order ticket for any tradable instrument straight from universal search, from your Holdings tab, from your Positions tab, or from the option chain, and you submit the order without the instrument ever entering a list.

The quick order window on Kite , Zerodha’s trading platform, is a stripped-down order ticket that shows only two fields, Qty. and Price, alongside the required margin and the approximate charges for the order. It removes the variety, product, and order-type controls of the full ticket so a plain buy or sell takes fewer clicks. You open it by clicking Quick on any order window, and return to the full ticket by clicking Regular. The window is built for speed: enter a quantity or a rupee amount, optionally set a limit price, and submit.
