What Are Heads-Up Messages and How Do I Enable Them in FYERS?
Heads-up messages show short alerts or warnings—such as insufficient funds or market segment closures—before the order window opens. These prompts give you an extra check to continue or cancel before placing a trade. If disabled, the order window opens immediately without these pre-check alerts.
Feature Overview
- Real-time alerts before order entry
- Preventive checks (e.g., low balance, closed segment)
- Optional pause step before the order window appears
Steps to Enable Order Window Heads-up Messages
On FYERS App
- Open the FYERS App and log in.
- Tap the Menu (☰) icon → Settings → Order Window.
- Toggle Heads-up messages ON.
On FYERS Web
- Log in to FYERS Web.
- Click your profile icon (top-right) → Settings.
- From the left panel, select Order Window.
- Toggle Heads-up messages ON.
Steps to Enable Scalper Terminal Heads-up Messages
Note: The Scalper Terminal is available only on FYERS Web.
- Log in to FYERS Web.
- Click your profile icon (top-right) → Settings.
- From the left panel, select Scalper Terminal.
- Toggle Heads-up messages ON.
Keep heads-up messages ON if you want preventive alerts about balance or market conditions—especially useful during volatile or margin-sensitive trades.
