How to Use the Order Form in Punch

The order form opens when you tap a contract from a watchlist, chart, option chain, or strike line. Everything you need to place the order is on one screen.

What you see

The header displays the instrument name, LTP with percentage change, position type, and order type. A chart icon in the header lets you jump directly to the contract chart without closing the form.

Switching between buy and sell

Both buy and sell buttons are visible at all times. Tap either one to switch — the active button highlights with an animation, and margin and brokerage update instantly.

If you open the form from a position card, the side is pre-selected: tapping Exit selects the opposite side, and tapping Add selects the same side as your current position.

Margin, charges, and adding funds

The margin required is displayed below the input fields. Tap Taxes & Charges to open a detailed breakdown. If your balance is too low, an Add Funds button appears inline so you can top up without leaving the form.

Market depth and OHLC

Toggle to the market depth section (arrow icon above the order form) within the order form to see bid/ask data alongside refreshed OHLC values.
