Absolute price vs relative price

Stop value in case the stop price is absolute

If you are placing a buy order and your buy entry order price is, say 100 (hundred) and you want to place a stop or 1 (one) then the stop loss price will be 99 (ninety nine).

If you are placing a sell order and your sell entry order price is, say 100 (hundred) and you want to place a stop or 1 (one) then the stop loss price will be 101 (one hundred one).

Stop value in case the stop price is relative

The stop price will depend on the selected Calculation Mode. Say your entry price is ₹100 (hundred) and you want to place a stop for ₹1 (one) then the 'Stop price' value will be:

  • Ticks - 20 (twenty), assuming the tick size of the instrument is 0.05 (1 / 0.05 = 20)
  • Price - 1 (one)
  • Percentage - 1 (one)
