A sticky order window keeps your order window open after placing orders, allowing you to place multiple orders with the same details without reopening the window each time.
Normally, your order window closes automatically after you place an order. For active traders who repeatedly use the same order attributes (quantity, price, order type), this can slow down trading. The sticky order window solves this by staying open until you manually close it.

Example scenario
You want to place an order for a Nifty option with 5,400 quantity at a limit price of ₹100, but you cannot place the order due to freeze quantity limits. Using the sticky order window, you can:
- Enter your order details (quantity, limit price, NRML or MIS product type)
- Click Buy multiple times to place several orders with identical details
- The window remains open for additional orders
You can close the order window manually by clicking the close button or pressing the ESC key.
