The Good Till Triggered (GTT) feature is an order that stays active until the trigger condition is met. The validity of the trigger is one year. A limit order is placed and executed if there are sufficient funds in the Zerodha account. A notification is sent to the registered email ID and mobile device every time a GTT is triggered and an order is placed on the exchange.

Buy GTT order is used to create triggers to buy instruments. With a GTT buy order, when the trigger price is hit, a buy order with the limit price mentioned is placed on the exchange.

Sell GTT is used to exit holdings or short-sell F&O contracts. A target order or both stoploss and target orders can be placed using sell GTT. The sell GTT order for holdings is executed only if the shares are in the demat account and the order is filled on the exchange.
