A Zerodha Cover Order (CO) is a type of order used to minimize the risk in a position in intra-day trading. In the case of CO, two orders are placed together as one order. The buy/sell order is placed with a compulsory Stop Loss order in a specified range.
Note:
LMT in Zerodha stands for the LIMIT order. It is an order to buy/sell shares or contracts only at the desired price. The LMT order is set below/above the CMP (Current Market Price) depending on whether you're buying/selling the order.
Yes, Zerodha allows BTST (Buy Today Sell Tomorrow) orders. It is a facility wherein you can buy a stock today and sell it tomorrow (before you get the delivery of the shares). This allows you to gain from a short-term price increase in stock.
To do BTST trade, you have to buy a stock using CNC product type (delivery trade) and the next day sell the stock using the CNC product type.
Note:
GTT in Zerodha Kite stands for Good Till Triggered orders. Orders placed under GTT get executed anytime (within 1 year) when the price set by the trader is reached. This gives your order a longer validity period. These orders can be cancelled by the trader at any time.
For example, Infosys is currently traded at Rs 780 but you would like to buy it for Rs 700. In this case, you can place a GTT order which will remain active until the price reaches 700 (or 1 year).
Similar to GTC (Good-till Cancelled) orders or GTV (Good-till valid) orders, the GTT order is very useful for the customer who does not track the markets actively.
Zerodha GTT Order (GTC Equivalent) Explained
Yes, Zerodha allows short-selling of shares. However, like short-selling with any broker, you have to buy back the shares or square off your position by the end of the market hours. If you fail to buyback or square off then you have to pay penalties.
The T1 in Zerodha holdings is the holding summary of the shares bought but not yet credited into your Demat account.
In India, we have a T+2 settlement cycle. When you buy the shares on T day, you receive them in your Demat account only on T+2 by evening. Thus, even when you have purchased a stock, you cannot claim to have the entire stock quantity until T+2. If you sell this stock before T+2, you always run a risk of shortage and thus short delivery.
Zerodha segregates the customer holding in two menus for ease of tracking. One is T1 holdings, and the other is Holdings (T2 shares). T1 holdings are the unsettled stocks for which the delivery is awaited, and Holdings (T2 shares) are the confirmed stocks in your possession. The purchased shares get reflected in T1 holdings on T day, T+1, and T+2 day. Once you receive the shares in your Demat account on T+2 evening, these get moved to Holdings after T+2.
For example, if you have bought 100 shares of ABC Ltd. on Friday (T day), these will reflect in T1 holdings till Tuesday (being T+2). After Tuesday, these will move to holdings.
Zerodha Kite Connect is a set of APIs built on top of the Kite platform. It allows investors to get programmatic access to the platform and its data to build trading platforms as per their own needs. Kite Connect comes at a subscription of Rs 2000 per month.
Validity in Zerodha Kite means the time till when an order remains valid in the market once placed. There are options like Day orders and Immediate or Cancel orders (IOC). Zerodha also offers the customers to place GTT orders (Good Till Triggered orders).
Day orders are the orders that remain valid throughout the day till the market close. These orders once placed, will wait for the matching order till 3.30 pm. The order gets executed on finding an order match. Day orders do not get auto-cancelled, unlike IOC orders.
IOC orders allow an investor to buy or sell a security as soon as the order gets released in exchange. As the name says, an IOC order either gets immediately executed or immediately auto-cancelled based on whether it finds a matching order or not. IOC orders do not go in Pending orders at any time. In case of a partial match, the order gets partially executed and, the remaining balance gets cancelled.
GTT (Good Till valid Triggered) orders are the orders that remain valid till the trigger condition is met or one year, whichever is earlier. In case, the matching order is not found or the trigger conditions do not meet within that period, the order will get cancelled and will need to be placed again.
Payin in Zerodha Kite is the funds transferred by the customer from his bank account into his trading account. The transferred amount is shown in the 'pay in' column on the website. The amount is also added to the 'margin available' column.
Withdrawable balance is the amount you can transfer back to your bank account from the trading account. For equity, it is calculated as:
Withdrawal balance = (Available balance) - (today's and yesterday's stock holding sell value) - (today's and yesterday's intraday profits) - (today's F&O profits) - (present day's payin).
Zerodha free cash is the funds available in your trading account which can be used for placing new buy/sell orders. Free cash is calculated as:
Free Cash = Cash margin Available + Pay In + Direct Collateral - Margin Used

Disc quantity in Zerodha means the Disclosed quantity.
Disclosed quantity in Zerodha is an option that allows you to disclose a part quantity out of the actual order quantity while placing an order. The disclosed quantity gets displayed to everyone on the market screen as part of the market depth if your order is in the best five prices closer to the current market price. The disclosed quantity has no linkage with the trade execution. The trade gets executed in part or full of the actual quantity based on order matching.
The disclosed quantity cannot be greater or equal to the order quantity and cannot be lesser than 10% of the order quantity in Equity and Currency. In the case of Commodity, the disc quantity cannot be lesser than 25% of your order quantity.
The disclosed quantity is not allowed for F&O trading and in Pre-Open or Post-Close session. The disclosed quantity feature is advantageous for people trading in bulk. If the disclosed quantity field is blank, the market screen will display the actual order quantity which, if sometimes is very big, may alter the demand/supply and change the price to a great extent shaking the markets.
