A Regular order is the standard Buy or Sell order you can place as a Market, Limit, or Trigger order.
Regular orders are used when you want to place a standalone entry or exit order without predefined Stop-Loss or Target conditions.
Key points:
Best suited for: Traders and investors who want full control over entry and exit without linked Stop-Loss or Target levels.
Smart Stop-Loss and Target orders help you define exit conditions while placing an order.
A Stop-Loss order helps limit your loss by placing an exit order when the price moves against your trade.
A Target order helps book profit by placing an exit order when the price reaches your expected level.
When both are added during order placement, you can define your risk and reward before submitting the order.
