What happens if I partially exit a Protected position on Punch?
Your protection automatically adjusts to cover only the remaining lots when you close part of a position.

Sometimes you may want to book partial profits or reduce your exposure without closing the entire position. Punch handles this smoothly — your protection stays intact for whatever quantity remains.
How It Works
Let us say you have a protected position of 5 lots with a stop-loss and target set. If you decide to exit 2 lots manually, Punch will automatically update the protection to cover the remaining 3 lots. You do not need to cancel and re-apply the stop-loss or target yourself.
Example
Original position: 5 lots of Nifty futures, protected with SL at 22,000 and target at 22,500
You exit: 2 lots manually
Result: Protection now applies to the remaining 3 lots at the same SL and target levels
Things to Note
The stop-loss and target prices remain the same — only the quantity is reduced.
This adjustment happens instantly and automatically.
You can continue to partially exit further, and the protection will keep adjusting.
