What is an Auto After Market Order (AMO)?
The Auto After Market Order (AMO) feature automatically converts any order placed outside of
market hours
into an AMO order which executes once the market opens. AMOs are allowed for all product types, i.e. CNC, MIS, NRML, except for Iceberg and Cover Orders (COs).
If a DDPI or POA is not submitted, CNC/MTF Sell AMO for stocks bought on T day can only be placed on the next day, i.e. T+1 day after 6:30 AM. For stocks that have already been delivered to the demat account, a CNC/MTF Sell AMO can be placed after 5 PM. This is because TPIN authorisation is accepted after 05:00 PM for AMOs. Clients can submit DDPI to overcome this limitation.
Currently, this feature is only available on the Kite web, but it will soon be available on the app.
The AMOs are sent to the exchange at the following times:
| Segment | Timings |
| Equity - Market and Limit orders | 09:00 AM |
| Equity - IOC validity, Disclosed quantity (less than 100% of sell quantity), Stop loss (SL), Stop loss - Market (SL-M) | 09:15 AM |
| F&O | 09:15 AM |
| CDS | 09: 00 AM |
Did you know?
- Orders initiated outside market hours via Kite baskets and the trade from chart feature in Chart IQ are also included in the auto AMO feature.
- AMOs are not allowed for ETFs. However, long-standing Good Till Triggered (GTT) orders can be placed.
- Orders with the GTT checkbox selected in the order window will not be accepted. Clients will be asked to deselect the stop loss or target GTT option.
- AMOs are not allowed for stocks under periodic call auction.
- AMOs cannot be placed between 01:00 AM and 05:30 AM because of the scheduled maintenance.
