Sometimes you want to enter at a specific price rather than the current market price. Limit mode lets you drag a price line directly on the chart and queue an order at that level.

Placing a limit order

  1. Activate Scalper Joystick on any index chart.

  2. Tap the MKT / LMT toggle to switch to Limit mode.

  3. A draggable price line appears at the current price (LTP).

  4. Drag the line to your desired price.

  5. Tap buy or sell. The button labels update based on where the line sits:

Line position

Left button

Right button

Below current price

Sell at Trigger

Buy at Limit

Above current price

Sell at Limit

Buy at Trigger

Modifying and cancelling

To modify a pending order, drag its price line to a new level — the order updates instantly. To cancel, tap the × on the line. The order is removed and the joystick switches back to Market mode.

After placing a limit order, the joystick automatically switches back to Market mode. When the limit order fills, your preset stop-loss & target are placed immediately.
