Paytm Money has launched new trading tools targeting India’s growing retail futures and options market, the wealth-tech platform announced on Wednesday.
The One97 Communications subsidiary introduced five key features: Options Scalper for multi-leg option trading, Trade from Charts powered by ChartIQ for direct chart-based order placement, basket orders from option chains, Trading Ideas backed by SEBI-registered research analysts, and Pay Later margin trading facility starting at 9.75 per cent interest.
The Options Scalper tool offers split-screen displays showing option charts alongside underlying securities, with one-tap execution capabilities and pre-set order configurations. The Trade from Charts feature allows users to place orders directly from chart interfaces without switching screens.
Trade Setups
The basket order functionality enables traders to create and save custom multi-leg option combinations directly from option chains, while Trading Ideas provides expert-curated trade setups at no additional cost.
The Pay Later service offers margin trading at what the company calls an “industry-low” 9.75 per cent interest rate for active traders.
The features are available on the latest Paytm Money app versions for Android and iOS users who have completed F&O activation requirements and risk disclosures.
India’s retail F&O participation has grown significantly as trading access has expanded and interest in derivatives has increased among individual investors.
