Our Take on Dhan
Dhan is the newest-generation broker on this list (2021) and was built unapologetically for active traders. It offers free equity delivery, zero AMC, native TradingView charts, fast order placement and free, well-documented APIs — a feature set that punches well above its age. The honest caveats are a shorter track record than the incumbents and a smaller user community and content base. For options and intraday traders who care about execution speed and charting more than brand familiarity, Dhan has quickly become a serious contender.
