Scalper on Dhan is a floating order window on Dhan charts that lets you place market orders instantly, mainly for options on indices such as NIFTY 50. Dhan also has Power Scalper, a dedicated options-scalping terminal that puts charts, option chain, market depth and positions in one window. Scalping means taking many quick trades for small moves, and market orders in fast markets can fill at worse prices than expected.
Last updated: November 2026
Dhan uses “Scalper” for more than one tool, which makes the search results confusing. This page separates them, using Dhan’s own feature pages and support articles, read in November 2026. It describes the tools only. It does not recommend scalping or any trade.
The Scalper tools on Dhan
| Tool | What Dhan says it is | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Scalper on Dhan Charts | A floating order window on the chart for instant market orders. Enter quantity, press Buy or Sell; executed positions show on the chart | tv.dhan.co (the “Scalper” icon in the top menu) |
| Scalper in the app | Open Flash Trade and tap the scalper icon. It opens the underlying chart with the ATM call and put charts in tabs beside it | Dhan app and Options Trader app |
| Power Scalper | A dedicated scalping terminal combining charts, option chains, market depth and position management in one interface | Options Trader and DEXT T3 |
For background on the charting side, see our Dhan and TradingView guide.
How Scalper on Dhan Charts works
- Open a chart on tv.dhan.co and click “Scalper” in the top menu, or use the floating window.
- Enter the quantity in the window.
- Click Buy or Sell. Dhan says these are market orders, which execute immediately at the best available price.
- Positions update instantly and show on the chart, so you can manage the trade from there.
- For index options such as NIFTY 50, Dhan lists contract filters including Highest Open Interest, ATM, Most Traded and Delta.
In the mobile apps, Dhan’s support article describes the flow like this: open Flash Trade, tap the scalper icon, and you get the underlying chart with the ATM call and put charts alongside. The article adds that if you are bullish you buy a call and if bearish a put. That is a description of the screen, not a suggestion.
Power Scalper
Dhan describes Power Scalper as a terminal built only for options scalping. You view the underlying, call and put charts together, choose the index, strike and expiry, and use Buy and Sell buttons from the same screen. Dhan’s blog says its in-house order system routes 90% of orders in under 20 milliseconds and that Power Scalper offers 40+ customisable hotkeys. These are Dhan’s own figures; speed to the exchange does not change the price the market gives you.
What it costs
Dhan charges ₹20 per executed options order, so each Scalper click that fills is a charged order. Many small trades can add up in brokerage and statutory charges even when each position is small. See the Dhan charges page and our Dhan option chain guide.
Risks specific to scalping
- Slippage: a market order fills at the best available price, which can be worse than the last price you saw, especially in thin or fast option contracts.
- Costs per trade: brokerage, STT, exchange charges and GST apply on every order, so a small gain can be wiped out.
- Speed cuts both ways: one-click entry makes errors in quantity or side faster too. Check the quantity before each click.
- Results: SEBI studies have repeatedly found that most individual F&O traders lose money. A faster tool does not change that.
