What happens if my position quantity increases after placing Target or Stoploss orders?

If you increase your position quantity after placing Target or Stoploss orders, the existing orders will remain unchanged.

For example:

  • Existing position: 10 quantity
  • Target/Stoploss placed for 10 quantity
  • You buy 5 more quantity

Your Target/Stoploss orders will still apply only to the original 10 quantity. If you want protection for the additional quantity, you will need to place new Target/Stoploss orders
