Tap the scrip name at the top of your chart to open the scrip selection screen. Everything you need to find and switch instruments is here.

Search for any instrument

The search bar at the top lets you look up any stock, index, or futures contract by name. Type a few letters and tap the result to load it on your chart.

Quick-access chips

Below the search bar, you will see quick-access chips for popular instruments like NIFTY & SENSEX. These also include your recently searched scrips. Scroll horizontally to reveal more, and tap any chip to switch to it instantly — no typing needed.

Browse the option chain

The lower half of the screen shows a full option chain. Use the dropdowns to filter by:

  • Underlying — pick the index or stock (e.g. NIFTY, BANKNIFTY)

  • Calls or Puts — toggle between the two

  • Expiry date — select the weekly or monthly expiry

The chain displays each strike with its price, change percentage, open interest in lakhs, and OI change. A dashed line marks the current market price so you can quickly spot ATM, ITM, and OTM strikes.

Tap any strike row to load that contract directly on your chart and start trading.

In Split View

When using Split View, tap the instrument name on either chart to open the scrip selector for that side independently.
