It allows the member to place an order which gets activated only when the market price of the security reaches a predefined price. A sell order in the Stop Loss book gets triggered when the last traded price in the normal market reaches or falls below the trigger price of the order. A buy order in the Stop Loss book gets triggered when the last traded price in the normal market reaches or exceeds
the trigger price of the order.

Disclosed Quantity (DQ) order

An order which allows the member to disclose only a part of the order quantity to the market. For example, an order of 1000 with a disclosed quantity condition of 200 will mean that only 200 quantity will be displayed to the market at a time. Once this order gets executed, another order of 200 quantity is automatically released and so on till the full order is executed.
