[Vinodh]

Any plans to introduce TP & SL prices along with entry prices? Some brokers allow this.

The updated version now supports both Limit and Market orders for GTT. You can choose your order type when creating the GTT. If you select Market, the triggered order will be placed with market protection.

if I only place single triggered order and premium go up and triggered price is also keeps trailing I can get maximum profit. give option to select only stop loss with trailing.

also give option to exit position from GTT modify order window.

when gtt info is open, chart or other widget is also going out of focus.

i have a trade in place and a GTT for SL.
if i exit the trade the GTT does not get cancelled automatically, i have to manually cancel it. sometimes it happens that the GTT opens a new position after i close the earlier position manually, there should be some way to avoid this behavior as this can lead to a disastrous outcome for traders…

Trailing SL can also be placed on a single leg along with OCO.

@bharat1080

The GTT modify window is designed specifically for adjusting GTT parameters like price, quantity, order type, and trigger conditions. Position exits, on the other hand, require a different interaction model and order placement flow. For consistency across the platform, we’ve kept position closing as a dedicated action in the Positions interface rather than embedding it in various order windows. This is why the order book also doesn’t include a direct position exit option except for Cover Order.

@bharat1080

when gtt info is open, chart or other widget is also going out of focus.

When the GTT info modal opens, it’s designed to capture your full focus and block interaction with other background elements. This is standard modal functionality. We can close the info modal by clicking on close or pressing the escape key.

Currently, GTTs operate independently of your position state. Once a GTT is created and triggered at the exchange, it places an order regardless of whether your original position still exists. The system doesn’t actively monitor your positions to auto-cancel GTTs or prevent orders from being placed after you’ve exited.

This is in our list of things to do. For now, you’ll need to manually cancel GTTs when you exit a position to avoid this situation.

Great! Now waiting for Target trailing.

We are excited to announce the rollout of Trailing Stop Loss on the Kite app. This feature is currently in beta and will be available in the live environment in the coming days.

In addition to Trailing Stop Loss and the new support for Market Orders with Market Protection, we have redesigned the GTT interface to provide a cleaner and more efficient trading experience. Here is a summary of the improvements:

• Optimized GTT Order Window: We have moved the Product and Order type selection to the top of the window. Preferences selected here will now automatically apply to both legs of an OCO GTT order, streamlining the setup process.
  

  

• Refreshed GTT Bottom Sheet: To reduce clutter, we have updated the order details view. Essential information such as Product/Order type, timestamps, Reference LTP, and Expiry is now displayed at the top. More granular details regarding Stop Loss and Target are collapsed by default and can be expanded only when needed to review them (e.g., Quantity, Price, Trailing Points, and Watermark).

Trailing SL is really helpful thanks for doing it.

Cant we enhance it to include trailing based on moving average?

I believe that is best way of trailing the position, it will help to ride the trend unless the reversal is confirmed

May not be possible anytime soon, but if can code a bit you can use APIs to do that.

when i open a chart most of the time the chart is stale chart for a previous script opened previously. have to refresh the chart in order to get to the one i am expecting to see. This is quite annoying.
