Sell VTT is used to exit current stock holdings or short selling the futures and options contracts. Consider the example in the image below:
Let’s assume you are trying to sell an INFY contract as per your bearish view on INFY, thinking that within a year, INFY would fall from its current price. To profit from this, you place a VTT order with entry, stop loss, and target prices as per the snapshot below.
In the given example:
1. Entry Order:
o Trigger Price: Set to 1650.
o Current Price: 1600.45.
o Action: If the trigger price of 1650 is hit on the exchange, a limit sell order at 1650 is placed.
o Execution: This order will be executed if a buyer is available at 1650.
2. Stop Loss and Target Orders:
o Stop Loss (SL) Trigger Price: Set to 1700.
o Target Trigger Price: Set to 1520.
o Action: Once the initial sell order is executed, the stop loss and target prices become active.
o Execution:
§ If the SL trigger price of 1700 is hit, a limit buy order at 1700 is placed.
§ If the target trigger price of 1520 is hit, a limit buy order at 1520 is placed.
o Order Cancellation: The other trigger (SL or target) is cancelled when one is hit.
3. Optional Orders:
o You are allowed to place either the stop loss target order or both, as you prefer.
