How to place a limit order in FYERS Trader?
A limit order allows you to buy or sell a stock at a specific price or better. This gives you control over the execution price—ideal when you want to avoid unfavorable price fluctuations.
What is a Limit Order?
- Buy Limit Order: Placed below the current market price
- Sell Limit Order: Placed above the current market price
Example:
If GAIL’s last traded price (LTP) is ₹150:
- To buy at ₹145, place a Buy Limit Order at ₹145
- To sell at ₹155, place a Sell Limit Order at ₹155
