GTT Order
use cases

  • Buy Stocks at Support
  • Buy Stocks on Breakout from Resistance
  • Exit once Target is achieved
  • Exit Once Stoploss is Hit

Stocks have a tendency to bounce back from same levels repeatedly. Such levels are called support zones. GTT orders can help you buy stocks near support zone. As you can see in the chart below, Kotak Bank has been trading near support levels of 1,700 over the last few months. A GTT order can help get entries near such support levels.

GTT Order use cases

There is limited selling pressure once stocks breakout above their previous highs. Momentum in these stocks can push them even higher in no time. GTT orders can help you buy such stocks on breakout. As depicted in the chart below, Hindalco was trading in a channel for more than a decade. A breakout from this channel triggered an upmove of almost 100% in few months. GTT orders can help you enter on time but save your efforts of daily monitoring.

Buy Stocks on Breakout from resistance

Several traders miss exits from stocks because they aren’t prepared for it. GTT orders provide you a tool to exit from your stocks once target is achieved. In the below chart, you can see how HDFC Ltd. spiked up sharply after announcing a merger with HDFC Bank on April 4. A GTT order could have helped you exit on such spikes.

Exit Once Target is achieved

Exiting once stoploss is hit is the toughest thing to do in trading. It hurts your ego more than it hurts your capital. However, a GTT order makes for an easy exit so you can survive to trade another day. The below chart shows how Infosys slipped below the support level of 1,660 after delivering week guidance. A trader could have avoided further losses if he had placed a GTT order that triggered on break of this support.
