What if...
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|

| Stop-loss order remains pending | This is expected. A stop-loss order remains pending until the trigger price is reached. You can verify the status from the Orders tab. |
| Stop-loss was placed for only part of the position | Recheck the pre-filled quantity in the order window before placing the order. Modify the quantity if you want to protect the full position. |
| Need to modify or cancel the stop-loss | Go to the Orders tab and use Modify or Cancel. On FYERS Trader, you can also modify or cancel the order directly from the chart. |
| Add stop-loss option is not visible | Confirm that you are viewing an open position under Positions. If the position is already closed, the stop-loss option will not apply. |
