Upstox becomes the first broker in India to launch a suite of features powered by TBT data; introduces TBT Engine

Last year, Upstox made waves in the trading community by becoming the first broker in India to introduce Tick-by-Tick (TBT) powered charts, offering traders a new level of accuracy in indicator mapping, pattern recognition, and market analysis. Building on that success, Upstox is now taking things to the next level with the launch of the TBTEngine—an industry-first suite of innovative features that fully harnesses the power of TBT data.

 1. Order Flow Insights for better limit order execution

One of the key offerings under TBTEngine is ‘Order Flow Insights’, which uses the real-time TBT data stream to give traders the following information before they place a trade:

1. ‘Depth Rank’ - Tells traders exactly where their limit order stands in the market. For example, if you place a limit order for XYZ stock at ₹100, you’ll immediately know at what level your order stands in the market.

2. ‘Traded at or below/above’ - Shows traders the percentage of orders traded at and below your limit buy order or at and above your limit sell order at any given time, allowing for more strategic decision-making.

3. ‘Qty. Ahead’ - Reveals the total quantity disclosed of shares standing ahead of your order in the market.

Traders can also set up LIVE Depth Rank alerts to get notified every 15 minutes if their Depth Rank worsens, keeping them updated and agile in rapidly changing markets.

This makes Upstox India’s first broker to provide such in-depth Order Flow Insights, giving traders information on their Depth Rank, percentage of orders traded at or below/above limit price, quantity ahead, and live Depth Rank alerts. These features eliminate guesswork and empower traders to make more informed decisions.

2. Market Depth for extended market view
Getting a full picture of the market is essential, especially while trading Futures and Options (F&O). Traditional market depth data can be insufficient, often missing key movements that could impact trading strategies. With its new TBTEngine, Upstox becomes the first broker in India to offer an extended market depth view up to 30 levels. This deeper insight allows traders to anticipate market movements more accurately, seize opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed, and make more strategic decisions in fast-moving markets.

Demand and Supply Zones for Informed Trading 

For traders who rely on technical analysis, understanding Demand and Supply Zones is crucial. The Demand Zone indicates a price range with strong buying interest, while the Supply Zone shows where selling pressure is high. These zones often act as support and resistance levels, signalling potential market turning points. Upstox is now the first broker in India to provide detailed insights into the top five orders with the highest quantities in these zones. This feature offers a clear advantage, helping traders identify key price levels where the market might stabilise, rise, or fall.

Eliminating frustrations with the GTT Trigger Engine

A common complaint among traders is the failure of their Good-Till-Triggered (GTT) orders, especially in volatile conditions. A major reason behind this is that most retail brokers use Snapshot Data, which is sampled at intervals, and therefore, their GTT triggers may miss capturing rapid price movements. Upstox is the first broker in India to address this issue by utilising TBT data. Unlike Snapshot Data, TBT provides a continuous stream of all trade packets, ensuring that no price movement is overlooked. This comprehensive data allows for precise matching and reliable triggering of GTT orders.

Enhanced transparency with the Trade Price Checker

Transparency is key to building trust in trading. Upstox is setting a new standard in this regard by becoming the first broker in India to offer a Trade Price Checker on their website. This tool allows traders to verify the accuracy of their trades (across all brokers) by entering the exchange order number and instantly retrieving detailed information, including the exact execution time and the trade price. The Trade Price Checker also provides a reverse-matching of order details, giving traders complete transparency and reinforcing trust in the accuracy and integrity of their transactions.

Access to institutional tools

The launch of the TBTEngine by Upstox represents more than just a technological upgrade—it’s a shift in how retail traders access and interpret market data. With tools like Order Flow Insights, extended Market Depth, Demand and Supply Zones, the GTT Trigger Engine, and the Trade Price Checker, traders now have access to a level of market data that was previously only available to high-frequency and institutional traders. This suite of features dramatically reduces information asymmetry, empowering retail investors to make smarter, faster, and more informed trading decisions.

With the TBTEngine, Upstox is the first broker in India to revolutionise data insights for retail traders, helping them improve the probability of order execution success and providing a significant competitive edge. This launch sets a new benchmark in the Indian brokerage industry, making high-frequency trading insights accessible to all. Upstox’s commitment to innovation continues to transform the trading landscape, ensuring that retail investors are no longer left behind in the data revolution.

Note: TBT Engine is available only for NSE Cash and F&O scrips.
