How can I place limit orders in Option Scalper?

Option Scalper is designed for fast options trading, but you can still place limit orders when you want better control over the execution price.

To enter a price manually, turn off the Scalper toggle first. Once the toggle is disabled, clicking Buy or Sell opens the order window, where you can select Limit and enter your preferred price before placing the order.

How to place a limit order in Option Scalper

  1. Open Option Scalper.
  2. Locate the Scalper toggle at the top-right side of the screen.
  3. Turn off the Scalper toggle.
  4. Select the option contract you want to trade.
  5. Click Buy or Sell.
  6. The order window will open.
  7. Select Limit as the order type.
  8. Enter your preferred price in the Price field.
  9. Review the quantity, order details, funds required, and charges.
  10. Click Buy or Sell to place the limit order.

When the Scalper toggle is turned off, the Buy and Sell buttons open the standard order window instead of placing the order instantly. This lets you enter the price manually before placing the order.
