Why can’t I select the limit option in Quick Trade Mode on the Scalper Terminal?

Quick Trade Mode in the Scalper Terminal is designed for instant market order placement to ensure rapid execution. Limit orders are not supported in this mode as it prioritises speed over price control. If you wish to place a limit order, you will need to disable Quick Trade Mode and use the standard order window.

What is Quick Trade Mode?

Quick Trade Mode is a feature in the FYERS Scalper Terminal that allows users to place market orders instantly with a single click. It bypasses order confirmation steps to prioritise speed and execution certainty, especially useful during fast-moving market conditions.

Why are limit orders not available?

Limit orders involve specifying a price at which you want to buy or sell. This naturally requires more time and decision-making, which goes against the core purpose of Quick Trade Mode — immediate execution. To maintain this instant action, Quick Trade Mode disables all other order types, including:

  • Limit orders
  • Stop-loss orders
  • GTT (Good-Till-Triggered) orders

If you attempt to place a Limit order while Quick Trade Mode is active, the option will be inaccessible.

How to place a limit order instead?

  • Turn off Quick Trade Mode by toggling the switch in the top-right corner of the Scalper Terminal order panel.
  • Once disabled, the full order panel will appear, allowing you to choose Limit, SL, or GTT as needed.
  • Enter your price and other order parameters, then confirm the order as usual.
