You keep checking the app for a dip and still miss it. Sound familiar? That is where a GTT order helps. So, what is GTT order? It is a standing instruction that places your trade automatically when your chosen price is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same problem hits sellers. A holding moves into profit, you get busy, and the price turns before you book it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting for the right price should not mean staring at your screen all day. You set your price once and carry on with your day.

The GTT order meaning is simple. It is an order that stays alive until your trigger price is touched or until it expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it as a price alert that also places the order for you. A normal alert only pings your phone. A Good Till Triggered order takes action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is why this matters in the share market. A regular order is valid for one trading day. If your price is not reached, it expires. You then have to place it again the next day, and the day after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>good till triggered order<\/strong> removes this repeat work. You place it once. Once the trigger price is hit, the order is sent to the exchange as a live order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It suits investors who plan their trades around price levels instead of daily market moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-does-a-gtt-order-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ca111a2c09be70c2feeebe35097ca100\"><strong>How Does a GTT Order Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This follows a simple flow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You choose a stock and decide whether to buy or sell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You set a trigger price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You set the quantity and a limit price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your broker tracks the price for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the trigger price is hit, your order goes to the exchange.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-gtt-order-works-1024x539.jpeg\" alt=\"what is gtt order\" class=\"wp-image-16176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-gtt-order-works-1024x539.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-gtt-order-works-752x396.jpeg 752w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-gtt-order-works-768x404.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-gtt-order-works-1536x808.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-gtt-order-works-150x79.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-gtt-order-works.jpeg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>trigger price<\/strong> is the level that wakes up your order. Until the stock reaches it, nothing happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>limit price<\/strong> is the price at which your order is placed once it wakes up. It sets the worst price you are willing to accept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"a-simple-example\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Simple Example<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Say a stock trades at \u20b9500. You want to buy only if it drops. So you create a buy GTT with a trigger price of \u20b9470 and a limit price of \u20b9472.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the stock falls to \u20b9470, your order goes to the exchange such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nseindia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NSE<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bseindia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BSE<\/a>. It tries to buy at \u20b9472 or lower. If the stock never falls that far, nothing happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gtt-order-example-1024x539.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gtt-order-example-1024x539.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gtt-order-example-752x396.jpeg 752w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gtt-order-example-768x404.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gtt-order-example-1536x808.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gtt-order-example-150x79.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/gtt-order-example.jpeg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTT order validity is <strong>1 year<\/strong>. If the trigger price is not reached in that time, the order expires on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two more points to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can modify or cancel the order before it triggers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once triggered, it behaves like a normal order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"types-of-gtt-orders\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-db287d9b9d2d7e71f86726c80f31ad18\"><strong>Types of GTT Orders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are of three types. Each one suits a different goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-single-trigger-gtt\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Single Trigger GTT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single trigger has just one price condition. It is the simplest option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use it to enter a new position or to exit an existing one. For example, you can buy a stock only if it falls to a set level. Or you can sell a holding only when it rises to your target price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-oco-one-cancels-the-other-gtt\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. OCO (One Cancels the Other) GTT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An OCO order combines two triggers in one order. One is your <strong>stop-loss<\/strong>. The other is your <strong>target price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When one trigger is hit, the other is cancelled automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is an example. You bought a stock at \u20b9800. You set a target trigger at \u20b9880 and a stop-loss trigger at \u20b9760.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the price rises to \u20b9880, your target order goes to the exchange and the stop-loss is cancelled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the price falls to \u20b9760, your stop-loss order goes to the exchange and the target is cancelled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Shree Varahi, OCO is available for <strong>sell orders only<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ekyc.lakshmishree.com:9080\/?rmid=WjYzbEdtODJVcURDZXlqNVcyQ3huR3dqR0tMN3o2R2FHbzUyeHlGMlBuT3l3OG1EZ2VXek1xemZpck9XRkJyUA%3D%3D\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"909\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Free-AMC.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Free-AMC.jpeg 909w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Free-AMC-752x232.jpeg 752w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Free-AMC-768x237.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lakshmishree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Free-AMC-150x46.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-trailing-stop-loss-gtt\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Trailing Stop-Loss GTT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A normal stop-loss stays at one fixed price. A <strong>trailing stop-loss<\/strong> moves up as the stock price rises. It keeps a set gap below the market price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is an example. A stock trades at \u20b91,000 and you set a gap of \u20b950. Your stop-loss sits at \u20b9950.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the price rises to \u20b91,100, the stop-loss moves up to \u20b91,050.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the price then falls to \u20b91,050, your sell order is triggered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the price falls without rising first, the stop-loss does not move down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This helps you lock in gains while still giving a stock room to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Single Trigger<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>OCO<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Trailing Stop-Loss<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Number of triggers<\/td><td>One<\/td><td>Two (stop-loss and target)<\/td><td>One that moves with the price<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for<\/td><td>Entering or exiting a position<\/td><td>Setting profit and loss exits together<\/td><td>Protecting gains as the price rises<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trigger level moves<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes, upward only<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"key-benefits\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a8a628ba8cbad4dfccad30ab80e587ae\"><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No screen-watching.<\/strong> Your broker tracks the price, so you can focus on your day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No daily re-entry.<\/strong> You place the order once instead of every morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Better discipline.<\/strong> A fixed price plan helps you avoid fear and greed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Built-in risk control.<\/strong> An OCO order sets your exit for both profit and loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protects gains.<\/strong> A trailing stop-loss rises with the price and locks in profit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full control until the trigger.<\/strong> You can modify or cancel the order at any time before it triggers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fewer missed chances.<\/strong> Your order is ready even when a price move happens while you are busy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Great for patient investors.<\/strong> You can wait for your price over months instead of hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gtt-order-vs-day-order-what-is-the-difference\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-66b43479799e3987504fd9b679c2ff69\"><strong>GTT Order vs Day Order: What Is the Difference?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Regular (Day) Order<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>GTT Order<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Validity<\/td><td>One trading day<\/td><td>Up to 1 year<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Need to track the price<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Where the order waits<\/td><td>On the exchange<\/td><td>With your broker until triggered<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Repeat entry needed<\/td><td>Yes, every day<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for<\/td><td>Quick, same-day decisions<\/td><td>Planned buys and exits at set prices<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A GTT order is not a replacement for regular orders.

It is a plan you set once and let your broker follow. You pick the price, and the order goes to the exchange only when that price is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It saves time and supports disciplined investing. Whether you use a single trigger, an OCO order or a trailing stop-loss, the idea is the same: decide first, act automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like every order type, it has limitations too. It is not guaranteed to execute, it expires after 1 year, and it works for delivery orders only. Start with a small quantity, review your pending orders regularly, and let your plan do the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-93c71607d0132220d56971aea9ea1af7\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1794047581294\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>1. What is GTT order in simple words?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It is an instruction to buy or sell a stock when it reaches a price you choose.

How long is a GTT order valid?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This order type is valid for 1 year. If the trigger price is not reached in that time, the order expires, and you can place a new one.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1794047612097\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>3. What are the types of GTT orders?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The types are Single trigger, OCO (One Cancels the Other) and trailing stop-loss.

Can I use a GTT order for intraday trading?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. These orders use the CNC (delivery) product type, so they are meant for delivery trades and not for intraday trading.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1794047638120\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>5. Does a GTT order guarantee execution?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. Once triggered, the order fills only if the market offers your price.
