Main Features of GTT (Good till trigger), Bracket and Cover orders

How does the GTT feature work?

GTT stands for Good Till Trigger. They are triggered condition order in which you need to set condition and when your set condition is completed your order will go to the exchange and on the set Limit Price or Market Price it will get executed.

GTT orders are valid for next 365 days or till it gets triggered.

A GTT is a trigger which places a limit order or market price order (at the limit price or market price, selected by you) as and when the trigger price, selected by you, is met or breached. In case the trigger price is breached during a particular day and the limit price selected is not exactly met on the same day, all such orders will be cancelled at the end of such trading day session.

The trigger set on GTT is valid only once, if the order is placed and is not executed for any reason, the GTT order has to be replaced again.

If the Last Traded Price (LTP) of a scrip jumps than the trigger price selected, or if the LTP opens at a gap up or gap down breaching the selected trigger price, an order would be placed at the selected limit price. GTT Order will be placed when normal market opens. GTT will not participate in preopen market.
