Why does a 'Pre-Trade Control' pop-up appear when I try to place an order?


When placing F&O orders on our trading platforms, a pop-up is generated when the entered limit order price differs more than a certain percentage from the Last Traded Price (LTP). 

  • It is applicable to limit and stop loss-limit orders for F&O orders
  • The pop-up is generated based on the order type (buy/sell) and your order is placed only if the pop-up is accepted.
    • The BUY order price is greater than or equal to a defined % or amount of the LTP.
    • The SELL order price is less than or equal to a defined % or amount of the LTP.
