Squaring off half quantity

General
1

Hello all…

Let say,
i am in a long position in intraday with 100 quantities of a scrip… And if the price hit 1R i.e (1:1) target , then i want to exit(sell) half quantity i.e 50 shares.
So to do that can i place a limit sell order at that target? Or it will create a new short position?
If yes, then what is the right method to do the above???

Thank :pray::pray::pray:

It won’t create new short position. You can place a limit sell order for 50 quantity. That much quantity will be squared-off when your order is executed.

Thank you very much sir for your speedy reply…

Sir it can also be done in case of short position in intraday also like, placing limit buy order at a 1R target to buy half quantity… Right sir?

Yes, you can do this for short position as well. Once your order is executed, the quantity specified by you will be squared-off.
