A GTT (Good-Till-Triggered) order lets you set your trade once and forget about it \u2014 the system automatically executes it when your target price is reached. It\u2019s a smart way to trade strategically without constantly tracking the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll cover what a GTT order means, how it works, how to place one, and why it\u2019s a useful tool for traders and long-term investors alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is GTT (Good-Till-Triggered) in the Share Market?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A GTT order lets you define a trigger price and a limit price. Once the stock hits the trigger price, your order is auto placed on the exchange at the limit price you\u2019ve set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term \u201cGood-Till-Triggered\u201d means that the order stays valid until the trigger condition is met or until it\u2019s manually cancelled or expires (depending on your broker\u2019s policy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does a GTT Order Work in Trading?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A GTT (Good Till Triggered) order lets traders automate their buy or sell decisions by setting a specific price condition. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Set a Trigger Price: You decide the price level at which you want the order to be activated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Define a Limit Price: This is the maximum (for buy orders) or minimum (for sell orders) price you\u2019re willing to trade at.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Submit the GTT Order: The order remains inactive until the market price touches your trigger price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Activation: When the trigger is hit, your order automatically converts into a limit order and is sent to the exchange.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Execution: The order executes at the limit price (or better) if there\u2019s sufficient market liquidity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s say you want to buy Infosys shares currently trading at \u20b91,600, but only if the price dips to \u20b91,550.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
