Bracket and cover orders on 5paisa

5paisa’s interface does not document a bracket or a cover order, and what is available can change without notice.

You can place one anyway. An AutoTrader bracket order (AT_BO) attaches a target and a stop-loss to your 5paisa order, with an optional trailing stop that follows the price in your favour and never moves back. An AutoTrader cover order (AT_CO) is the same thing with a stop-loss only. Your entry reaches 5paisa as an ordinary intraday order — the one thing every broker accepts — and AutoTrader Web watches the price and sends the closing order when your level is reached.

Place one from the order window, from your own code, or from a chart alert. It is intraday only, it does not give you the extra intraday margin some brokers give on their own bracket orders, and the position is squared off automatically a short while before the market closes.

Read the risk before you use it. A stop-loss decides when we try to exit — it does not decide the price you get. A sudden move can take the price straight past your level, so your loss can be larger than the stop-loss you set. The full explanation, and the one-time terms you agree to before your first one, are on Bracket & Cover Orders.
