"" are a type of Intraday Order that allows traders to set a Stop-Loss Order and a Target Order simultaneously when entering a Position. It is designed to “Bracket” your Initial Order. Hence, there will be two (opposite side) orders placed with the initial order. The Stop-Loss Order is designed to limit potential losses in the event that the market moves against your Position, while the Target Order represents your profit-taking level.
Using a Bracket Order, you can set both the Stop-Loss and Target Price levels in advance, which helps manage risks and potentially increase the chances of success of trades. Since Bracket Orders are an Intraday Product, they are auto squared-off at the end of the day and cannot be carried forward.

Open the Order Placement Page for the security you wish to buy or sell.
Choose/enter the "Exchange", "Order Type", "Quantity" and "Entry Price".

Select the Time Condition as "Day".
Click the "Review Order" Button to re-check your order details.
After confirmation, click the "Place Order" Button. Your order will be sent to the exchange.
Please Note: Bracket Orders are Day orders and cannot be placed as GTD (Good Till Date) orders. Optional- Enable the Trailing Stop-loss option to automatically modify the stop-loss based on favorable price movements.

A "Bracket Order" can only be Canceled before the Initial Order of the Bracket Order is executed. Once the initial order is executed, there is no option to cancel the Take Profit and Stop-loss Orders. However, the trader will have the option to modify these orders. If the trader closes the Open Position of the executed leg, the take Profit and Stop-loss orders will automatically be "Canceled".
To Cancel a Bracket Order, Follow these steps:
Go to the "Open Order Book".
Locate the group of Three Bracket Order Legs that you want to Cancel.
Click on any of the legs to open the Order Summary.
Click the "Cancel Order" Button at the bottom of the screen

Go to the "Position" page from the "Portfolio" tab.
Click on the security you want to Square Off to open the Position Summary.
Click on the "Square Off" Button.
Confirm the Square Off.
Once you Confirm the Order, one leg of the Bracket Order will be modified to a Market Order and will be executed immediately, while the other leg will be Canceled.
You can view the status of both orders in the "Closed Order Book."
Please Note: All Square Off orders will be Market Orders.
Bracket Orders have an optional "Trailing stop-loss" feature wherein the Stop-loss Order Price is automatically modified based on favorable price movements for the Position taken. Unfavorable price movements on the other hand, will not result in the stop-loss order price being modified.
A "Trailing Stop-loss" is a dynamic stop-loss that adjusts as the price of a security moves in favor of the Open Position. It is often used in conjunction with a Bracket Order, which includes a Target Profit Price and a Stop-loss Price. As the price of the security moves in favor of the trader, the Stop-loss Price is adjusted by the default trail of 1 INR. If the price of the security reaches the Target Price, the trade is closed at a Profit and the Stop-loss Order is Canceled. If the price of the security falls below the Trailing Stop-loss Price, the trade is closed to limit losses.
Here is an example of how the "Trailing Stop-loss" feature works:
A trader places a buy bracket order for XYZ stock with a Trailing Stop-loss of 1 INR. This includes as Initial Order at 100 INR, a Target Order at 110 INR and a Stop-loss Order at 90 INR.
After the main order is executed, the price of XYZ security rises to 101 INR. Since the Trailing Stop-loss feature is enabled, the Stop-loss Price is adjusted to 91 INR (original Stop-loss Price +Trailing Amount). The price or XYZ security continues to rise and reached 103 INR. Hence, the Stop-loss Price is adjusted again to 93 INR. When the Market Price reaches 110 INR, the trade is closed at a profit. On the other hand, the price of XYZ security had fallen below the latest Stop-loss Price, the trade would have been closed to limit further losses.
