How To Place a Target Order for an Open Position in FYERS?
If you already have an open position, you can place a Limit order to book profit at the price you choose.
A Limit order ensures that the exit happens only when the market trades at your target level.
You can place this order from the Positions section on both FYERS App and FYERS Web.
On FYERS App
- Go to Portfolio → Positions.
- Tap the position you want to exit.
- Tap Sell for Buy positions or Buy for Sell positions.
In the order window:
- Check the quantity.
- Choose Limit as the order type.
- Enter the Limit Price you want as your target.
- Tap Sell or Buy to place the order.
On FYERS Web
- Go to Portfolio → Positions.
- Click the position row to open the details panel.
- Click Sell for Buy positions or Buy for Sell positions.
In the order ticket:
- Confirm the quantity.
- Select Limit as the order type.
- Enter your target Limit Price.
- Click Place Order to submit the target order.
When to use different order types
| Order Type | Use Case |
|---|
| Market | Used to exit immediately at the best available price. |
| Limit | Used to set a target exit price for booking profits. |
| Trigger | Used to place a stop-loss that activates once the trigger level is reached. |
Limit orders remain pending until the market trades at the selected price. Only one exit order, either a target or a stop-loss, can remain active for a position. Placing one cancels the other.
What If
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| Position not visible | Confirm the position is still open and that you are checking the Positions tab. |
| Order does not execute | The market has not reached your Limit Price. Check the order status in the Orders tab. |
| You want to modify or cancel the order | Go to Orders and use Modify or Cancel for that order. |
| Market order was placed instead of Limit | If the order is still pending, cancel it quickly and re-place it as a Limit order. |
