How To Modify or Update Stop-Loss for an Open Position in FYERS?
Stop-loss orders help limit losses by exiting your position when the price reaches your set level. You can modify the order when you want to change this level without cancelling and placing a new order.
You can modify a stop-loss order from the Orders section on FYERS App or FYERS Web, as long as the order is still pending.
On FYERS App
To modify or update a stop-loss order on FYERS App:
- Open FYERS App.
- Tap Orders from the bottom navigation bar.
- Select the pending stop-loss order you want to modify.
- Tap Modify.
- Update the required details, such as price or trigger price.
- Tap the Modify button shown on the screen.
- Review the order status to confirm that the updated stop-loss order is still pending.
On FYERS Web
To modify or update a stop-loss order on FYERS Web:
- Log in to FYERS Web.
- Go to Orders from the top navigation bar.
- Click the edit/pencil icon next to the order.
- In the Modify Order window, update the required details, such as price or trigger price.
- Click Modify to submit the updated order.
- Check the Open tab to confirm that the revised stop-loss order is still pending with the updated values.
Important points to note
- A stop-loss order can be modified only before it is triggered, executed, cancelled, or rejected.
- If the order is no longer visible in the Open tab, check the Completed or All tab in the Orders section.
- Orders may be rejected if the updated price or trigger price is outside the exchange-defined circuit limits.
What If?
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| I cannot see the stop-loss order in the Open tab | The order may have been executed, cancelled, rejected, or moved to another status. Check the Completed or All tab. |
| The Modify option is not available | Modification is allowed only for pending orders. If the order is already triggered or executed, it cannot be modified. |
| I entered the wrong stop-loss type | Cancel the pending order and place a fresh order with the correct order type, such as SL or SL-M. |
| I want to remove the stop-loss instead of updating it | Use the Cancel option from the order details or the cancel icon on FYERS Web. |
| My modified order is still pending | This is expected. A stop-loss order remains pending until the trigger condition is met. |
| My modified stop-loss order is getting rejected | Check whether the updated price or trigger price is within the exchange-defined circuit limits for that stock or contract. Orders placed outside the circuit range may be rejected. |
| The order was rejected after modification | Check the rejection reason in the Orders section. Rejections may happen due to price range, margin, exchange, or risk checks. |
