Presets let you lock in your risk parameters once so every joystick trade fires with the exact lot size and protection levels you want — no manual entry each time.

How to set your presets

  1. Activate Scalper Joystick by tapping on the Scalper Icon on the bottom navigation

  2. Tap the preset icon on the joystick overlay (Top right corner)

  3. Select the index tab — Nifty, Sensex, or BankNifty.

  4. Set your lot size, and optionally enable stop-loss and target using the checkboxes.

  5. Tap Set to save.

How presets apply to trades

Once saved, your preset lot size is used for every trade placed via the joystick (and in the normal order form for that index). If stop-loss and target are enabled, Punch places them automatically the moment your order fills — whether it's a market or limit order.

Presets are saved to your account.

How SL/TP adjusts when you change lots

If both stop-loss and target were set via presets, they auto-adjust when you add or reduce lots. If you manually modified either value after it was placed, the system will not override your manual change.
