there is a facility a facility "SCRIP ALERT" available in trading terminals.
this is a colour-coding alert when LTP of your scrip reaches or goes beyond your set base price.
For example, let's take RIL
CMP = 1150
& your buy = 1180
sell = 1120
so, right-click against RIL in your market-watch window, and choose SCRIP ALERT..
in the parameters box, we can enter max two conditions..
I enter these two parameters for buy & sell
when LTP>1175, then highlight it to GREEN
when LTP<1125, then highlight it to RED
normally, the background colour of market watch windows (based to ODIN or TRADEANYWHERE) is black or white.
After setting this condition, when LTP of RIL goes above 1175, then the whole row of RIL turns GREEN - this indicates to me that my BUY price (1180) is nearing. I then give STOP-LIMIT BUY order at Rs 1180 (meaning buy order will be triggered only when LTP is at 1180 & at a price not above 1180)
similiarly, when LTP goes below 1125, then the whole row of RIL turns RED - this indicates to me that my SELL price (1125) is nearing.
Suppose buy order is triggered, then:
1. I set a STOP-LIMIT SELL order for booking my longs (here, 0.5% target = 1186
2. I revise the condition for RED colour now for stop-loss highlight. (here, 1% SL = 1168.20)
Thus, if LTP of RIL goes to 1186, it will be sold at that price automatically.
and if it goes below 1170, then it will be highlighted RED, meaning my stop loss (1168.20) is near, and i set order accordingly.
THIS COLOUR-HIGHLIGHTING IS VERY EFFECTIVE. YOU CAN HAVE DIFFERENT COLOURS FOR TARGET, ETC TOO.
One more thing: it will remain highlighted as GREEN till LTP is above 1175.
If it goes at or below 1175, then no highlighting - you will come to know that it's going reverse now. And as soon as it turns RED, you know that your stop loss level is nearing; and accordingly modify the order.
THOSE WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR A FULLY AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR ALL ORDERS - THEN I AM SORRY TO SAY NO SUCH THING EXISTS & THEY SHOULD RESTRAIN FROM INTRADAY TRADING, IF THEY CANNOT SIT CONTINUOUSLY IN FRONT OF TRADING TERMINAL.
