This is a standard risk management practice to ensure Intraday positions are not carried overnight unintentionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The auto square-off works as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>At <strong>3:15 PM<\/strong>, the system initiates square-off for all open Intraday positions<\/li><li>The positions are closed at the prevailing market price at the time of square-off<\/li><li>The resulting profit or loss is reflected in your account<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid auto square-off, you should manually close your Intraday positions before 3:15 PM. If you want to hold a position overnight, you would need to place it as a <strong>Delivery<\/strong> order (for stocks) or an <strong>Overnight<\/strong> order (for F&amp;O) at the time of placing the trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"ht_kb_category":[2933],"ht_kb_tag":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/27177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ht_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27177"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/27177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27179,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/27177\/revisions\/27179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_category?post=27177"},{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_tag?post=27177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
