Brokers with Bracket Order

Brokers with Bracket Order and Cover Order

A Bracket Order is an advance order type to help traders to limit the losses and increase chances of profitability. It's an order with an opposite-side order placed together (i.e. a buy order is bracketed by a high side sell limit order, and a low side sell stop order).

Bracket orders (BO) have a fixed stop-loss trailing order. To advance this further, some broker offers Bracket Order Trailing Stop-loss. This provides an ability to trail your stop-loss (dynamically). It means the stop-loss keeps moving based on the direction your stock or contract moves.

Bracket orders and cover orders are key risk management tools for a trader. A handful of stock brokers offer this order type to the traders.

Bracket Order Advantages

  • Bracket Order has 3 orders placed from 1 screen - Entry, Target and Stop-loss order.
  • Bracket Orders are valid only for intraday trading. All Bracket order positions are squared off by end of the trading day.
  • The margin required for Bracket Order is half of normal MIS intraday trading orders.
  • Bracket Orders are available only for Equity and Currency. They are not available for Commodity Trading at MCX.

Disadvantages of Bracket Order

  • Not available for trading in Stock Options, Currency options, and Commodity options.
  • In the case of flat rate brokers like Zerodha and Upstox, the brokerage charges in a bracket order are unpredictable. If the entry price of some of these shares is slightly different in order, the system creates separate target and stop-loss orders for each price.

Cover Order vs Bracket Order

  • Each bracket order is a set of 3 orders (Entry, Target, and Stop-loss). Each cover order is a set of 2 orders (Entry and Stop-loss).
  • Both offers equally higher leverage.

Bracket orders are useful for traders to limit losses and increase profitability. They involve three orders (entry, target, stop-loss) placed from one screen, offering convenience and reduced margin requirements. However, they are only available for intraday trading and not for certain instruments. Differentiating bracket orders from cover orders is important for traders.

FYERS SUCKS BIG TIME
Fyers breaks up a single bracket order into multiple orders based on bid ask price and then shamelessly charges brokerage per order. ( For example you place a buy order in Bank Nifty option for 300 Qty. After placing of order you will notice that your single order of 300 qty is split up into multiple order of 25 / 50/ 100/ 150 etc based on bid ask. Similar thing will happen when your order is squared off.)
Thankfully noticed it immediately and stopped using it after 1 month.

If there is no bracket and cover order in NSE OPTIONS, then it clearly shows ll brokers are there just to loot traders and deceive traders.

Zerodha sux big time. These MCs have removed the bracket order so that retail traders waste their money and they can make all the money via brokerage. They can easily be sued with a class action lawsuit for this malpractice.
