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

  • Preventive checks, for example low balance or closed segment
  • Optional pause step before the order window appears
