How Do I Place a Trailing Stop-Loss (Smart Trail) Order in FYERS?

Trailing Stop-Loss (TSL) is a Smart order type that adjusts your stop-loss price dynamically as the market moves in your favor. This helps you lock in profits while limiting downside risk. The feature is available across all FYERS platforms — App, Web, and Trader — and supports all order products: Intraday, Delivery (CNC), and MTF.

Tip: Use Trailing SL in trending markets where prices move strongly in one direction. It helps you ride the trend longer and lock in profits automatically without adjusting stop-loss levels manually.

  2. Tap Buy or Sell.
  3. Enable the Smart toggle at the top of the order panel.

Important Notes

  • TSL works for both Buy and Sell across all product types.
  • SL Trigger Price and Jump Price are mandatory.
  • Target Price is optional and set under Advanced settings.
  • MPP (Market Price Protection) helps avoid adverse order execution.
  • Smart toggle must be enabled to access Trailing SL on all platforms.
Important: In volatile conditions or sudden price gaps, your TSL may not execute exactly at the trigger level. The system will square off at the next available market price, which could differ from your set stop-loss.
