Reliable way to place buy/sell order with limit & SLM order.

KamalChhirang
I want to always place SLM order with my buy/sell order with limit price.

For example,

Reliance current price = 2000

I want to short Reliance with a limit of 1998. And at the same time, I want to place SLM order of price 2010. How can I do that?

Currently, I am placing two orders via Python API

1.) Short reliance with limit price.
2.) if it is completed or partially filled, I place stop loss margin order with filled quantity.

But I don’t like this method because what If my Internet stops working or Kite API stops working after I place reliance short order with limit price. I will be unable to place stop loss order. Or for any other reason.

I was wondering if there is any better way to do this? I always want to place Stop Loss with my buy/short order.

    For market/limit buy/sell along with stop-loss, you can use CO order. Go through this article.

    @rakeshr thanks a lot. I have one small question for which I cannot find the answer in the articles.

    Does CO has more blocked stocks than MIS or they are the same? (Like some stocks are blocked for MIS/CO and are cash only due to high volatility)

    And, is CO Stop loss limit always 10%?

    @muke5hy Yeah, I think cover order is the way to go. Tho, I would have preferred some other option without cover order limits.

    Can you please how you do cover order with the API? one sample example Please.

    Just set VARIETY to CO instead of regular, and also include a trigger price for stop loss.
