What if...
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| Trigger price is rejected | Make sure the trigger price is on the correct side of the market. For long positions, the trigger should be below the current price. For short positions, the trigger should be above the current price. |
| Stop-loss order remains pending | Stop-loss orders stay pending until the trigger price is reached. Review the order status in the Orders tab to confirm it is still active. |
| Need to modify or cancel the stop-loss | Go to the Orders tab and use Modify or Cancel on the stop-loss order. On FYERS Trader, you can also adjust the SL line directly on the chart or click x to cancel. |
| Stop-loss is set for only part of the position | Check the pre-filled quantity in the stop-loss window. Update the quantity if you want to protect the entire position or only a specific portion. |
