Alert-Triggered Order (ATO) on Kite

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

An Alert-Triggered Order (ATO) on Kite is a Zerodha feature that links a basket of up to 20 orders to a price alert , so that when the alert condition is met, those orders are placed on the exchange automatically without any manual action from you. It closes the gap a plain alert leaves: a simple alert only sends a notification, and you still have to open the order window and place the trade before the price moves on. ATO removes that step and the risk of missing the notification.

How to fix a Kite alert that did not trigger

A Kite alert evaluates on the recorded last traded price, and the most common reason one does not fire even though the price appeared to hit your level is a missed tick: the LTP momentarily reached the level, but that tick was not captured, so the alert stayed pending. Before you conclude that, though, three cheaper explanations need ruling out: the alert was disabled and never monitoring, the alert was on a different exchange than the price you watched, or no trade actually printed at your level. This guide works through them in the order worth checking, from most common and easiest to confirm to the genuine missed-tick case that only Zerodha can investigate.

How to fix alerts that got disabled on Kite

Kite auto-disables a price alert for a small set of defined reasons: a corporate action that moves the instrument’s price by more than 2 per cent, a derivative contract expiry, a delisting, suspension or series change, or the lapse of the alert’s 365-day validity. Separately, you cannot create a new alert once you hit the account cap of 500 alerts or 200 ATOs . A disabled alert no longer monitors anything, so a level you set and forgot can quietly stop watching. Kite emails you whenever an alert is disabled, which is the prompt to act.

How to modify or delete a price alert on Kite

You manage every Kite alert from one place: the Alerts section under Orders, where you can edit an alert’s condition and price, disable it to pause it, or delete it to remove it. The same screen handles both plain price alerts and Alert-Triggered Orders , and the same rule governs both: you can change an alert any time until it triggers, after which a simple alert is spent and must be recreated rather than re-armed.

Kite alert notifications

Kite alert notifications are the messages Zerodha sends when a price alert fires: an in-app or browser notification on the Kite interface, plus an email to the address registered with your account. The alert itself is evaluated and fired on Zerodha’s servers, so a notification that never reaches your screen does not mean the alert failed; it means the delivery failed, and the Alerts section still records the trigger. Understanding that split, server-side firing versus device-side delivery, is the key to diagnosing every “my alert didn’t notify me” case.
