Types of orders involved in bracket order
Features of Bracket Order
BO orders are Intraday orders
• Trader can put the order and rest is assured, either the target will be achieved or the stop loss will get executed
• Trader need not monitor the market to modify the prices frequently
Example for Bracket Order
Lets take a bracket order example:
Client A wish to buy Wipro at Rs 380 and wish to book profit at 390. However he is afraid, that the share price may go down if it crosses the limit of 375. In normal scenario, he need to place three orders; ie
Buy order at Rs 380
Sell Order at Rs 390
Stop Loss Order at 375
In this case, the client need to monitor the trades and he need to cancel the stop loss order, if the share price move favourable to him/her. If the share price goes down, he need to cancel his sell order. But if the same orders are placed through BO, then:
In a single order window, he can place buy order, sell order and a stop loss order. The biggest advantage here is, client need not monitor and cancel the 3rd order. For the same case, the client need to place BO Order as : In the same order window: Buy Wipro at 380, Max profit difference is 10 and Minimum Profit difference is 5. Thus by placing BO order client can save time and hassles of placing 3 different orders.
Another feature of BO Order, you can select trailing stop loss while placing the order. We will explain with an example:
Suppose in the above order, client select trailing stop loss, whenever the price of Wipro goes up by Rs 1, the price stop loss also goes up by Rs 1. However the stop loss order will remain unchanged, if the share price is going down.
