To clear the clouds, difference between limit order and stop loss orders is explained below with examples.

Present price of a share is Rs.100.

If you place a limit sell order @ Rs.103. (which is greater than present price of Rs.100). The system looks to sell @ rs.103 or better (higher) price.

If you place a limit buy order @ Rs.98 (which is less than present price of Rs.100). The system looks to buy @ rs.98 or better (lower) price.

Under limit order, you cannot expect to sell below present price. Similarly, you cannot expect to buy above present price. If at all, you try to place such orders, they simply get executed at current prices. Stop Loss Limit Orders eliminate this flaw in Limit Orders and possibly you can achieve your targets prices for both buy and sell.

Cheers.

That means I need to punch in two separate order for the same security ?
One limit order sell at 103 , and another stop loss buy at 105 (market price) ?

Re: Can I place this kind of Order

Please explain how ?
if u r trdaer in odin diet terminal then there only 2 types of order..RL AND SL
RL order for sell ur shares get sold at hte price u mentioned in order or at slightly higher price..not a single paise lesser than that..same way for buy it gets executed in mentioned price or slightly lesser price..

SL ORDER u need to mention the trigger and price..
for sl buy order=trigger has to be lesser than the price and for sell trigger has to b more than the price

on ur query regarding short selling at 103 and cover at 105..u need to place 2 different orders..first a RL ORDER for sell at 103 as cmp is 100..then u place a SL ORDER for buy mentioning 5-10 paise more than 105 and in trigger u give 105..then it ul get executed only when price jumps to 105
