Upstox has rolled out a wave of enhancements across its platform, aimed at elevating your trading and investment experience. From smarter tools for strategists to API improvements for developers, here’s a breakdown of their newest offerings as of mid-2025.

1. Home Page with Smartlists

The Home tab now features Smartlists — your favourite indices, stocks, and F&O selections are instantly accessible in a cleaner, more user-friendly layout. This lets you navigate faster and make swifter decisions.

2. Strategy Builder for Android

Option traders can now build up to eight-leg strategies within the app. You can assess the Greeks, payoff graphs, risk–reward ratios, and probability of success. The tool automatically sequences legs for optimal margin utilisation and lets you set entry, stop-loss, and target levels in one go.

3. Advisor’s Pick

Get SEBI-registered analysts’ recommendations directly in your Upstox app. Tailored for Intraday, F&O, and MTF trades, this feature includes estimated upside, entry/target/stop-loss levels, and one-tap execution using Regular or GTT orders.

4. Buy Now, Pay Later via MTF in Wealth Mode

Previously exclusive to Upstox Pro, the Margin Trading Facility (MTF) — effectively “Buy Now, Pay Later” — is now available in Wealth Mode. Select ‘Buy via MTF’ and pay just a fraction upfront while borrowing the rest.

5. Personalised Health Insurance Recommendations

Upstox now offers tailored health insurance plan suggestions with strong claim approval rates, cashless hospital access, and clear, transparent terms. Ideal for users seeking both financial and healthcare peace of mind.

6. Revamped MTF Discovery Page

The MTF Discovery section now comes with a refreshed visual design and curated Smartlists based on predefined criteria, making it easier to find high-potential MTF-eligible stocks efficiently.

Developer-Centric Updates from Upstox Plus & APIs

For developers and algorithmic traders, Upstox has introduced several significant API enhancements:

  • Trailing Stop Loss Beta for GTT orders — enables dynamic risk management as stop-loss levels adjust automatically with favourable market movements.
  • MTF Support in GTT Order API — allows margin-funded GTT order placements through the API, merging trading flexibility with automation.
  • Expired Instruments APIs — access historical data for expired options and futures, including expiries, contracts, and candle data under the Upstox Plus plan.
  • Websocket Plus Features — allows up to 5 concurrent websocket connections per user and subscription to 50 instruments per connection for real-time data streaming.
  • Enhanced V3 APIs for historical candle data and market quotes offer flexible intervals—from minutes to months—for powerful technical analysis.
  • MIS File Availability, Order API V2 Deprecation, and Access Token Flow & Sandbox Mode — all improve developer efficiency and integration safety.

Upstox has significantly upgraded its offering across the trading ecosystem:

  • For traders: Smartlists, Strategy Builder, Advisor’s Picks, MTF in Wealth Mode, and health insurance tools enhance decision-making and flexibility.
  • For developers: Enhanced APIs and data access under Upstox Plus open doors to more sophisticated and automated strategies.
