Can I use GTT for both buy and sell?

Yes, GTT is available for both buy and sell orders on the Samco app. However, how you use it differs depending on what you want to do:

Buy GTT You can place a Single GTT to buy a stock at a future price. When the stock falls to your trigger price, a buy order is placed automatically. This is useful when you have a target entry price in mind but do not want to monitor the market every day waiting for it.

Sell GTT –  Single If you hold a stock in your portfolio and want to sell it when it reaches a certain price, you can place a Single GTT sell order. When the stock hits your trigger price, a sell order is placed automatically.

Sell GTT –  OCO (One Cancels Other) OCO is available exclusively for selling stocks you already hold in your portfolio. It allows you to set both a target price and a stop-loss price for an existing holding at the same time. If the stock rises to your target, it sells automatically and the stop-loss is cancelled. If it falls to your stop-loss first, that sell executes and the target is cancelled. This way, your exit whether for profit or loss is handled automatically without you having to watch the stock.
