What If...
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| I try to place a market order in SENSEX options | It will be rejected. Use a limit order instead. |
| I can't find a specific BSE contract | The contract may not be supported due to liquidity or exchange limitations. |
| I want to trade BSE currency pairs | You can trade them through FYERS under the BCD segment. |
Always check contract liquidity and permitted order types before placing trades in BSE derivatives. Limit orders are safer in low-volume segments like SENSEX and BANKEX options.
