This is one of the most common frustrations in the market, and GTT orders are built specifically to address it.<\/p>\n    <p>A GTT is an <a href=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/types-of-stock-market-orders\/\">order type in the share market<\/a> where you set a price condition in advance, and the order gets placed on the exchange.<\/p>\n    <p>This blog covers what the GTT is, how it works, the types available, and when it makes sense to use one.<\/p>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_GTT_Order\"><\/span>What is a GTT Order?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"definition-box\">\n      <div class=\"def-label\">GTT Full Form \u2014 Good Till Triggered<\/div>\n      <p>It lets you define a trigger price for buying or selling a stock. The order sits dormant in the system and activates automatically the moment the stock hits that price, without any manual action on your part.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"example-box\">\n      <div class=\"ex-label\">Example<\/div>\n      <p>A stock is trading at \u20b9150, but you only want to buy it at \u20b9120. Place a GTT buy order at \u20b9120 and walk away. When the stock reaches \u20b9120, the buy order executes automatically. The same applies on the sell side, where a GTT order can be set at a profit target or a stop-loss level.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_a_GTT_Order_Work\"><\/span>How Does a GTT Order Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>A GTT order is built around two price levels that you define at the time of placing the order.<\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Trigger price:<\/strong> The price at which the GTT condition activates. Once the stock reaches this level, the order is sent to the exchange.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Order price:<\/strong> The price at which the actual transaction should be executed. This is set as a limit price, typically close to the trigger price.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>When the trigger price is hit, the system places a limit order at the order price. If the stock is available at that price, the trade executes. If not, the order remains pending in the order book like any standard limit order.<\/p>\n    <p>A GTT order executes only once when triggered. It does not repeat automatically after execution.<\/p>\n\n    <h3>Price Gap Conditions<\/h3>\n    <p>Two minimum gap conditions apply when setting GTT price levels:<\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li>The trigger price must be at least 0.5% away from the stock&#8217;s last traded price.<\/li>\n      <li>For an OCO GTT order, the gap between the two trigger prices must be at least 1%.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Types_of_GTT_Orders\"><\/span>What are the Types of GTT Orders?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>GTT orders come in two variants, each suited to a different trading need.<\/p>\n\n    <h3>Single GTT Order<\/h3>\n    <p>A single GTT order uses one trigger price and one order quantity. When the trigger is hit, one buy or sell order is placed at the specified limit price. This is the simpler of the two types and works well when you have a clear entry or exit price in mind.<\/p>\n\n    <h3>OCO GTT Order (One Cancels Other)<\/h3>\n    <p>An OCO GTT order lets you set two trigger conditions simultaneously, typically a profit target and a stop-loss. If one is triggered and executed, the other is cancelled automatically.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"example-box\">\n      <div class=\"ex-label\">Example<\/div>\n      <p>You buy a stock at \u20b9200. You set a target of \u20b9240 and a stop-loss at \u20b9180 using an OCO GTT. Whichever level the stock hits first gets executed, and the other order is dropped. This removes the need to manually manage both sides of the trade.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Benefits_of_Using_GTT_Orders\"><\/span>What are the Benefits of Using GTT Orders?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>GTT orders address a real problem for investors who cannot actively track the market every day.<\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Automatic execution:<\/strong> The trade happens without manual intervention once the trigger price is set. You do not need to be logged in or watching the screen.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Disciplined entry and exit:<\/strong> Committing to a price in advance removes emotional decision-making in fast-moving markets. You set your level based on research, not reaction.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Effective in volatile markets:<\/strong> Sharp intraday moves can briefly hit your desired price. A GTT order captures these opportunities even when you are away.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Long validity:<\/strong> The 365-day validity period suits investors who are waiting patiently for a stock to reach a specific valuation level before entering.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Built-in risk management:<\/strong> The OCO type manages both upside and downside simultaneously by combining a profit target and a stop-loss in a single setup.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GTT_Order_vs_Regular_Order\"><\/span>GTT Order vs Regular Order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>GTT orders differ from regular orders in a few important ways.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"table-wrap\">\n      <table>\n        <thead>\n          <tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>GTT Order<\/th><th>Regular Order<\/th><\/tr>\n        <\/thead>\n        <tbody>\n          <tr><td>Validity<\/td><td>Up to 365 days<\/td><td>Expires at the end of the trading day<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>Execution<\/td><td>Automatic when the trigger is hit<\/td><td>Manual or immediate on placement<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>Best for<\/td><td>Patient investors, delivery trades<\/td><td>Active traders, intraday trades<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>OCO option<\/td><td>Available<\/td><td>Not available in standard format<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>Monitoring needed<\/td><td>Minimal<\/td><td>Active tracking recommended<\/td><\/tr>\n          <tr><td>Chargeable on placement<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Brokerage applies to execution<\/td><\/tr>\n        <\/tbody>\n      <\/table>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GTT_Orders_for_Long-Term_Investing_and_Beginners\"><\/span>GTT Orders for Long-Term Investing and Beginners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>GTT orders are well-suited for long-term investors and first-time traders.<\/p>\n    <p>Long-term investors who wait for a stock to correct to fair value can set a GTT buy order and leave it active for up to a year without checking daily. On the exit side, a GTT sell order can lock in profits at a target or cap losses at a stop-loss level.<\/p>\n    <p>For beginners starting with delivery-based investing, a single GTT buy order on a researched stock is a practical first step. It builds the habit of price-based decision-making without requiring constant platform activity. As confidence grows, the OCO type also enables the ability to manage exits.<\/p>\n    <p>Since a GTT order ultimately places a limit order when triggered, understanding how limit orders work is useful before using GTT.<\/p>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Charges_Availability_and_Limits_of_GTT_Orders\"><\/span>What are the Charges, Availability and Limits of GTT Orders?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>Placing a GTT order is free. Brokerage applies only when the order is triggered, and the trade is executed at the same rate as any regular delivery trade.<\/p>\n    <p>GTT orders are available for stocks on the NSE and BSE cash segments, as well as NSE F&amp;O contracts. Availability depends on your broker&#8217;s platform, as not all brokers offer this feature.<\/p>\n    <p>SEBI permits a maximum of 50 active GTT orders per trader at any time. Some brokers may set a lower internal limit, so it is worth checking what applies on your platform.<\/p>\n   \n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Modify_and_Cancel_GTT_Orders\"><\/span>How to Modify and Cancel GTT Orders?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>A GTT order can be modified or cancelled at any time before it is triggered. You can update the trigger price, order price, or quantity, and the order continues to remain active with the new parameters.<\/p>\n    <p>Once triggered and sent to the exchange, the resulting limit order follows standard exchange rules and cannot be recalled through the GTT system.<\/p>\n    <p>If a GTT order is not triggered within 365 days, it expires automatically. You would need to re-enter it if you still want the order active.<\/p>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>A GTT order takes the manual effort out of price-based trading. Set your price, place the order, and let the system handle execution when the market reaches your level. Whether you are waiting for the right entry on a long-term pick or managing risk on an open position, GTT orders let you trade with a plan rather than react to every move.<\/p>\n\n \n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_GTT_Order_FAQs\"><\/span>What is GTT Order: FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h3>Is the GTT order chargeable?<\/h3>\n      <p>No charge applies when placing a GTT order.
