Can I place equity and futures orders on the Scalper Terminal?
Looking to use FYERS' Scalper Terminal for high-speed options or futures trading? Here's everything you need to know about what instruments are supported—and what happens if you try others.
What is this feature?
The Scalper Terminal in FYERS is a precision interface tailored for ultra-fast options trading, especially around ATM (At-the-Money) call and put contracts. It is not designed for placing equity or index futures orders.
The interface supports:
- Options trading
- Commodity futures (MCX)
It does not support:
- Equity trading
- Index futures orders (e.g., NIFTY or BANKNIFTY futures)
How to access the Scalper Terminal
- Login to FYERS Web.
- Navigate to the “Scalper” section from the left-hand menu.
- Select an index or option from the chart panel.
- Place option orders directly from the ATM CE/PE interface.
What if...
| Scenario | Behavior / Resolution |
|---|---|
| You open an equity chart | Redirects to Equity charts in center view + ATM CE/PE options charts |
| You try placing a futures order (non-commodity) | Order not allowed; futures trading via Scalper is limited to MCX only |
| Futures order for commodity (MCX) | Allowed; fully supported in the Scalper interface |
The Scalper Terminal does not support equity or index futures orders. Attempting to place such orders will not execute.
Tip: For equity and index futures trading, switch to the FYERS Web “Trade” or “Watchlist” modules.
