Why SL and Target Are Disabled for Overnight in Quick Trade | FYERS Trader

Why Aren’t Stop Loss and Target Options Available for Overnight Trades?

Quick Trade’s Stop Loss (SL) and Target features are designed only for Intraday orders on FYERS Trader (https://trade.fyers.in/). These exit levels are disabled for Overnight positions because price movements outside trading hours can be unpredictable. Large gaps between the market close and the next day’s open may cause SL or Target levels to be skipped or executed incorrectly.

How to manage Overnight positions

If you carry positions overnight, Quick Trade will not allow you to predefine SL or Target. Instead:

  • Place your Overnight order normally.
  • After execution, add manual Stop Loss and Target orders separately.
  • Monitor positions closely as volatility and gap risk are higher in Overnight trades.

For details on how SL and Target are set in Quick Trade for Intraday, refer to this article. If you need help with the overall Quick Trade setup, see this article.
