How to access the Scalper settings

Available Scalper settings
Product Type
The Product Type setting lets you choose the default product type for orders placed through Option Scalper.
You can choose one of the following:
Intraday: For positions intended to be opened and closed within the same trading day.
Overnight: For positions that may be carried beyond the current trading day.
Stop-loss and Target
The Stop-loss and Target settings let you define default exit preferences for Option Scalper orders.
Select the checkbox beside Stop-loss or Target to enable the required setting.
You can configure each setting using either of the following methods:
Percentage: Calculates the stop-loss or target distance as a percentage of the executed entry premium.
Absolute: Uses the entered value as the exact distance from the executed entry price.
For example, if the executed entry premium is ₹100:
A 10% stop-loss represents a ₹10 distance from the entry price.
A 20% target represents a ₹20 distance from the entry price.
An Absolute value of ₹10 uses ₹10 as the distance from the executed entry price.
Position sizing
Enable Position sizing to calculate the order quantity using your selected sizing method.
Choose one of the following methods:
Amt: Calculates the quantity using the entered amount and the applicable net premium.
Lots: Calculates the quantity using the entered number of lots and the applicable lot size.
% Mar.: Calculates the quantity using the selected percentage of available margin.
Order line on index
Enable Order line on index to display the option order line on the underlying index chart.
When this setting is disabled, the order line is not displayed on the index chart.
Auto-update quantity when price moves
Enable Auto-update quantity when price moves to recalculate the order quantity when the option premium changes before the order is placed.
Save or reset the Scalper settings
After configuring your preferences:
