Symbol details check is a group of Trigger types in FYERS Automate that allows an automation to move forward based on how a selected symbol behaves in the live market. These triggers evaluate price levels, market limits, bid–ask data, and trading activity to decide when the automation should continue. They do not place orders by themselves.
Symbol details checks are used when your strategy depends on real-time market behaviour of a stock or index, instead of time-based rules, order status, or portfolio P&L.
Symbol details checks can be configured in two ways, depending on how you want to compare market data.
This option compares a symbol’s live market value directly against a fixed value you define. It is useful when you already know the exact price or volume level you want to react to.
This option compares one live market metric with another market attribute of the same symbol. For example, comparing the current price with the symbol’s 52-week high. This is useful when the trigger depends on relative market behaviour instead of a fixed number.
The trigger becomes true when the symbol’s current price moves above the highest price it traded at during the last one year. This is often used to detect long-term strength or major breakouts.
The trigger becomes true when the symbol reaches the maximum price allowed for the day. This indicates extremely strong buying pressure where trading may soon be restricted.
The trigger becomes true when the symbol reaches the minimum price allowed for the day. This is commonly used to detect sharp downside moves or panic selling.
The trigger becomes true when the price crosses the highest level made so far during the current trading day. It is useful for intraday breakout strategies.
The trigger becomes true when the price crosses the lowest level made during the current trading day. It is commonly used for downside breakouts or exit conditions.
The trigger checks when the market price matches the lowest price at which sellers are willing to sell. This helps identify points where buy orders may start getting filled.
The trigger checks when the market price matches the highest price buyers are willing to pay. This is often used to detect strong buying interest.
The trigger becomes true when the total traded quantity for the symbol reaches the specified level. It is useful for confirming participation and avoiding false price moves.
Symbol details checks are configured on the canvas by selecting the check type, choosing whether to compare against a value or a metric, selecting the symbol, and defining the comparison condition. Once the selected condition is met, the automation proceeds to the next connected node.
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|---|
| The symbol never reaches the selected level | The automation keeps waiting and does not continue. |
| I want to act only during strong participation | Use Volume traded along with a price-based symbol check. |
| I want to react only at extreme market levels | Use 52-week high, Upper circuit, or Lower circuit checks. |
