Can we place a bracket order in pre open session time, is it possible ? i am this for when market open the price trend very quickly and return with same side. so prevent the stop loss as well pick that move.
Bracket orders can be placed only when Market is live, only trading hours. You can’t place AMO Bracket order or in pre-open session.
You cannot place Bracket Order in any of these
-
Pre open sesssion
-
Post market session
-
After Market Orders
You can only place Bracket Orders from 9:15 to 3:20 pm.
The reason is BO uses some kind of algorithm which can be executed only during regular market hours and the session need to be active by the client without logging off. Logging off the trading terminal suspends the algorithm from working in the background and so, the client needs to be active during BO orders.
@AastroGuru OMG, I was not aware that for BO we need to keep the trading terminal cranking and logging off will not execute the trade. Thanks for the information.
@sudesh
This problem was there since inception.
But I am not sure whether zerodha guys did anything for that yet in recent release of PI.
