Bracket and cover orders on Zebu

Whether Zebu offers a bracket or a cover order of its own — and in which segments — is set by the broker, and it can change. Many Indian brokers withdrew bracket orders in 2020 and never brought them back.

You can place one anyway. An AutoTrader bracket order (AT_BO) attaches a target and a stop-loss to your Zebu 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 Zebu 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.
