Why Multiple Orders for BO & COs?

Hello

Kindly let me know when we’re placing Cover Order or Bracket Order for 100 Qty - Why does it executes 8 to 10 buy orders instead of just 1?

And since it executes 8 to 10 orders? Am I paying same brokerage i.e. 20 Rs. OR 20 * x (x being no of orders executed to buy)

Thanks
Ajay

20 INR or lower on each leg of the Bracket Order executed.

In your case, 20 INR or lower on each of the 8 -10 orders.

But that beats the purpose to some extent as our Profit will be reduced by 300 INR given we have 8 orders for buy and another 8 for sell.

So if we buy / sell 100 qty as whole we pay 40 INR brokerage plus tax. But with BO brokerage will become 320 and taxes will increase as well.
