Note
Because of illiquidity of stock option contracts, market orders have been disabled on stock options. Only limit orders are allowed. Place a limit buying order higher than the current price or selling order below the current price, this will act as good as market order but will also protect from any impact cost due to illiquidity.
Good till triggered (GTT)
The Good till triggered (GTT) feature works like an order that is active until the trigger condition is met. This trigger will be valid for 90 days, so anytime the price condition within this period is met, your order will be placed and executed, provided there are enough funds in the trading account, and your limit price order is filled on the exchange. This trigger set is valid only once, so if the order is placed and not executed for any reason, the GTT has to be placed again.
Buy GTT: Buy GTT is used for creating triggers to buy stocks for delivery. With a GTT buy order, when the trigger price is hit, a buy order with limit price mentioned is placed on the exchange. In the below example, the current price of Infy is 785.75; we are placing a trigger of 701 which if it is met on the exchange, a CNC order to buy Infy at 700 will be placed on the exchange.
Sell GTT - Single: In the example below, the current price of Infy is 785.70, when the trigger of 799 is met, a selling CNC order with a price of 799 gets placed on the exchange. This sell order will get executed if you have the stock in your demat and if your limit sell order is filled on the exchange.
Basket orders
A basket order allows you to place multiple orders at the same time. You can save the baskets on StockNidhi Trading Platform and use them anytime in the future.
Click on the Basket orders window under Equity/ Demat Balance.
Search and add the scrips to the basket, 5 baskets can be created with 10 scrips each basket
Search and add the scrips to the basket: (A maximum of 20 orders can be added to the basket and a maximum of 20 baskets can be created on one Client ID.)
Check the margins on the order window:
You can hover on individual orders to Delete, Duplicate, Edit, or to drag and drop to change the sequence of the order.
If you are using it for F&O strategies, make sure to place the buy option orders first before placing the future or short/writing option orders. This way you can execute the F&O strategy with the least margin requirement. The sequence of orders wouldn’t matter if you are using this to place an equity basket order or you have sufficient margins to place individual orders.
Margins
Required margin is what will be required to place all the orders in the basket.
Final margin is the eventual margin that will be blocked in the trading account after the order execution.
The required margin will be different based on the sequence of the individual orders, while the final margin will be the same. For the same Nifty bull call spread example above, check how the required margin changes by rearranging the orders. Hence, it is better to always place the buy option orders first so that required margin is lesser when entering a F&O strategy. This sequence of orders will make no difference when trading stocks. Also, when you short options, the premium received gets credited to your account, so the final margin for naked short option orders will be lesser than required by the premium that will be received post placing the order.
If you want to check the margin requirements by including all your open positions that are not part of the basket, you can do so by selecting include existing positions. But if you select this, in some cases the required margin might show 0 whereas you might still require margin to place the order. The reason for this is because an order in the basket could potentially be reducing the overall margin, but it might require a margin to place the order. Keep this option disabled if you find it confusing.
Execution
Once you click the execute option on Basket, orders are placed in the same sequence as in the basket. Do make sure to confirm the status of all the individual orders within the basket or on the StockHolding Services Trading Platform orderbook if placed/executed/rejected after you execute the basket order.
Duplicate option to get over the order freeze or quantity limit
There are per order maximum limits set when trading stocks and F&O. For Stocks, it is 1 lac shares and for F&O typically 100 lots. So it is 7500 for Nifty and 2500 for Banknifty. If you are executing orders larger than this, you have to place orders multiple times. With baskets this can be done easily, especially using the duplicate order function.
Replacing a rejected order
Assume a few of orders which are part of your basket gets rejected for some reason. You can edit the order and execute them manually from the basket order window itself.
Minimize and easy access
While placing a basket order if you had to go back to the main screen, you can minimize or just click outside the basket order and still access it back easily.
The beta version is live on StockHolding Services Trading Platform web and will be soon launched on StockHolding Services Trading Platform mobile. There are no additional charges for basket orders.

Cover order with limit entry
Enter a cover order position using a limit price by changing the CO order type to Limit. In the above example, Infy would be bought at 911 (the current market price is 912.95). This means the order would remain open until the stock reaches 911, and then execute (just like a limit order) to initiate the position. The trigger price, which defines your SL, is set at Rs. 908, so the stoploss would be placed as soon as the entry order is placed at Rs. 911.
