Why did my strategy hit Stop-Loss after leg adjustments, even though it was in profit?
Strategy-level TP and SL are calculated based on the current Strategy Entry price.
-
If you add a new leg, the Strategy Entry price gets recalculated.
-
If you exit (square off) an individual leg, the Strategy Entry price does not reset for the remaining legs.
When you modify TP/SL values, the system recalculates the trigger levels using the prevailing Strategy Entry price.
If the current Strategy LTP has already crossed the revised threshold, the TP/SL may trigger immediately.
To avoid this:
-
Review the current Strategy Entry price before modifying TP/SL.
-
If you prefer a fresh cost basis, consider exiting the strategy and creating a new one.

Introducing Underlying-Based Entry & Exit on Strategy Bot
I manually squared off my positions from Kotak Neo, but later the Strategy Bot executed exit orders. Why did this happen?
I had set up a desired Stoploss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) points/values — why did the system not properly trigger the Strategy SL & TP?
What happens if I adjust legs near market close or expiry?
