Clarification on Symbol Check Trigger and Portfolio Check Trigger

Automate, API & MCP

I wish to seek clarification on the below scenarios in Automate.

  • If i schedule an automation to start at 9:32 and select a symbol check trigger with condition as Nifty 50 LTP Percentage Change >= .5 , then, does the trigger activate when the Nifty 50 spot moves .5% from 9:32 (start time) or from day open? My intention is to trigger an order when spot moves by .5% from my scheduled start time.
  • If i want to re-enter the same leg after hitting stoploss , then by adding a Symbol details check and selecting the symbol which was output of the initial place order block and setting LTP <= Average Trade Price, will it trigger re-entry when LTP falls below my initial average trade price?
  • Presently in the portfolio check there is only option to set target PnL or Stoploss PnL value (+ or - PnL figures). Any option to set lock profit or trailing profit/SL in portfolio check (not legwise, but for the whole automation)

  • The check will not check from 9:32, LTP % change is the % change from prev day, intraday change % is from morning open price.
  • you can re-enter by configuring SL at leg level and unchecking ‘square off on target or stoploss’ checkbox and reenter to the required symbol
  • You can manually create flows to achieve this, like once portfolio check crosses above +1000 you can now create a new portfolio check connect to the with PnL check < 0 and target >2000 just like trailing.

Hello,

Appreciate the response. A few related queries.

  • Any plans to bring an option to check the movement of spot (% change or points change) from the scheduled start time?
  • So uncheking ‘square off on target or stoploss’ will automatically cause the leg to re-enter indefinitely? any option to control the number of re-entries? A better solution would be to add a “rentry” and “re-entry count” in the place order block itself.
  • W.r.t trailing, for constant trailing it would require multiple blocks, wont it be easier to implement in PnL check itself?
