Do Stop loss Hit if next day open crosses Stop loss trigger (Either way) on gap up or Down?

There are 2 things

  1. You can’t have stop loss for overnight positions. This instrument is just for intraday.
  2. If there is a gap up in intraday due to volatility then SL-limit won’t trigger but if you had SL-market then it would trigger.

I understand that we can be positional in case of Futures & Options as well until expiry date.
correct me, if wrong.

If we have SL-M, it would be bigger loss. Can yu suggest way out to deal Gapup or Gap down scenario?

@Bishan For gap up and gap downs: only way is to hedge your positions. If sold option then buy another option a little far. If bought Future, then can buy put option for hedge and if sold future then buy call option.

You can be positional. But orders can’t remain in the system overnight.
You have to put in new orders each day after 9:15AM.
