Where each one fits

  • Live quotes and option chains need a paid data plan
  • No company financials, shareholding, filings, flows or screener
  • Places real orders on your live account

Tapetide MCP

  • Screening the market and testing an idea against history
  • Following flows, valuations and options across the market

Where it stops

  • Does not place orders or read your live broker account
  • Options data is end of day, not live
  • No intraday candles; price history is daily and weekly

Better together

Questions that need both

“Screen on Tapetide for stocks above their 200-day average with rising promoter holding, then set Dhan alerts on the top three.”
Tapetide builds the shortlist. Dhan watches it for you.
“Check NIFTY’s IV rank and put-call ratio history on Tapetide before I place an options order on Dhan.”
Tapetide keeps the volatility history. Dhan executes.
