How to place a target order for an open position in FYERS?

If you already have an open position, you can place a fresh Limit order to book profits at your target price directly from the Positions screen in FYERS.

Steps

  • Go to the Portfolio → Positions section in FYERS.
  • Click the row of the open position to bring up its detail panel.
  • Tap the Sell button (for Buy positions) or Buy button (for Sell positions).
  • In the order window that opens:
    • Ensure the correct quantity is selected.
    • Set the order type to Limit to place a target order.
    • Enter the Limit Price at which you want to book profits.
  • Click Sell or Buy (depending on your side) to place the target order.
