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).
- Click the icon → review the prompt → click Reverse Position to confirm.
- 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…
| Scenario | What to check |
|---|
| Reverse Position option not visible | Open the Positions tab (not Orders/Holdings). Some instruments like BE (trade-to-trade) stocks do not support reversal. |
| Trying to reverse Delivery/Overnight/MTF | Equity 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 margin | Reversal 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 hours | Reversal is available only during live market hours and may fail if the instrument is at upper/lower circuit. |
| Linked Stop-Loss/Target open | Cancel active SL/Target legs linked to the position before reversing to avoid rejection. |
