How to reverse a position in FYERS?

Reverse Position lets you flip an open trade in one click. It closes your current position and simultaneously opens a new one in the opposite direction with the same quantity. Use it when your view changes and you want to switch sides instantly.

Example: If you hold a Buy position of 100 shares, reversing places a Sell order for 200 shares — 100 to square off your buy and 100 to create a fresh sell.

On FYERS App

  • Open Portfolio → Positions.
  • Tap the position to open its details.
  • Under Quick actions, tap Reverse Position.
  • Review symbol, side, and quantity, then tap Confirm.
  • The position flips — Buy ↔ Sell.

On FYERS Web

  • Go to Portfolio → Positions.
  • Click the position row to open the right-side details panel.
  • Click More (⋮) → Reverse Position.
  • Review the order and click Confirm.
  • The side of your position flips immediately.

On FYERS Trader (trade.fyers.in)

  • Open the chart of the symbol where you have an open position.
  • On the running P&L widget, hover to reveal the Reverse Position icon (up/down arrows).

  • Your current leg is squared off and an opposite leg of equal quantity is created.
Tip: Reversal is most useful for fast intraday switches. It places the necessary offset and fresh entry as a single action; ensure margins can support the new exposure.

What if…

ScenarioWhat to check
Reverse Position option not visibleOpen the Positions tab (not Orders/Holdings). Some instruments like BE (trade-to-trade) stocks do not support reversal.
Trying to reverse Delivery/Overnight/MTFEquity Delivery/Overnight and MTF positions generally cannot be reversed. You can only sell against existing holdings; a short delivery/MTF reversal to create a fresh short is not allowed.
Order rejected due to marginReversal can require more margin than a simple square-off because it creates a fresh opposite position. Keep extra funds, especially when flipping from option buy → sell or in high-margin segments.
Outside market hoursReversal is available only during live market hours and may fail if the instrument is at upper/lower circuit.
Linked Stop-Loss/Target openCancel active SL/Target legs linked to the position before reversing to avoid rejection.
