Procedure

Open the Orders page on KiteOn Kite web, click Orders in the top navigation. On the Kite app, tap the Orders icon in the bottom navigation. The Orders page is the home for regular orders, baskets, and GTTs.
Switch to the GTT tabOn the Orders page, switch to the GTT tab. On web it sits alongside the regular orders and baskets tabs; on the app it is one of the tabs at the top of the Orders screen. This is the canonical list of your GTTs.
Read the state of each GTTEach GTT in the list shows its instrument, trigger, transaction type, and current state. An active GTT is waiting; a triggered GTT has already fired and placed its order; a cancelled or expired GTT is no longer live.
Find a triggered order in the order book, not the GTT tabWhen a GTT triggers it places a regular order, which appears in the order book for that trading day, not in the GTT list. Switch to the regular Orders tab to see the order the trigger placed and whether it filled.
Act on an active GTT from the tabFrom the GTT tab, open an active GTT to modify its trigger, quantity, or limit, or to delete it. You can delete only active GTTs; a triggered GTT cannot be deleted because it has already acted.
Use Console for history beyond the trigger dayFor a GTT that triggered and for the fate of its order after end of day, open Zerodha Console. The order history and tradebook keep the permanent record, since the Kite order book clears each day’s orders overnight.

You find your GTT orders on Kite in the GTT tab on the Orders page, on both Kite web and the Kite app. A GTT (Good Till Triggered) order on Zerodha is stored on Zerodha’s servers, not at the exchange, and Kite gives it a dedicated tab separate from your regular orders and baskets. The GTT tab is where active GTTs wait, where you read their state, and where you modify or delete them. This guide shows the exact path on each platform, explains why a triggered GTT leaves the tab, and points to where the permanent record lives once a GTT has acted.

The single point that confuses most traders: the GTT tab holds GTTs, not the orders they produce. When a GTT triggers, the order it places moves to the regular order book for that day, and the GTT itself drops out of the active list because its trigger is spent. So “I cannot find my GTT” usually means the GTT triggered and you are looking in the wrong tab.

Step-by-step procedure

The procedure infobox above lists the path in order. The expansions below give the exact navigation on web and app, and explain why a triggered GTT is found in a different place from an active one.

1. Open the Orders page on Kite

The Orders page is the home for everything order-related: regular orders, basket orders , and GTTs. On Kite web, click Orders in the top navigation bar. On the Kite app, tap the Orders icon in the bottom navigation. You land on the regular orders view by default, which is not where GTTs live, so do not stop here.

2. Switch to the GTT tab

On the Orders page, switch to the GTT tab. On Kite web the GTT tab sits alongside the tabs for regular orders and baskets, near the top of the Orders page. On the Kite app the GTT tab is one of the tabs across the top of the Orders screen. This tab is the canonical list of your GTTs: it shows what is still waiting, separate from the order book that shows what has been sent to the exchange.

3. Read the state of each GTT

Each GTT in the list carries its instrument, trigger price, transaction type, and current state. The state is the field that answers most questions:

An active GTT is live and waiting for its trigger condition.
A triggered GTT has already fired and placed its order; it has left the active set.
A cancelled or expired GTT is no longer live and will not fire.

For what each state means in full, including the auto-disabled case after a corporate action, see GTT states: active, triggered, cancelled, expired, deleted, and disabled .

4. Find a triggered order in the order book, not the GTT tab

This is the step that resolves the “my GTT vanished” question. When a GTT triggers, it places a regular order to the exchange, and that order appears in the regular order book for the trading day, not in the GTT list. So if a GTT you expected to see is missing from the GTT tab, switch to the regular Orders tab and look for the order it placed.

The triggered order is a normal Day order. If it fills, it completes; if it does not, the exchange cancels it at end of day, and it is gone from the next session. For why a triggered order disappears overnight, see why a triggered GTT is not visible after end of day .

5. Act on an active GTT from the tab

The GTT tab is not just a viewer; it is where you manage active GTTs. Open an active GTT to modify its trigger, quantity, or limit price, covered in how to modify a GTT on Kite , or to delete it, covered in how to delete a GTT on Kite . One constraint matters: you can delete only active GTTs. A triggered GTT cannot be deleted, because it has already acted and the trigger is spent.

6. Use Console for history beyond the trigger day

The Kite GTT tab and the Kite order book are live, same-day surfaces. For anything older, the record lives in Zerodha Console . Console’s order history retains the order events and the tradebook retains the fills, regardless of the overnight day-order cleanup on Kite. So the audit trail for a GTT that triggered last week, and whether its order filled, is a Console question, not a Kite one.

The three places a GTT can be, and which to check

A GTT and the order it produces live in different places at different times. Knowing which surface holds what removes most of the confusion.

You want to see	Look in	Surface
An active GTT waiting to fire	GTT tab	Kite web or app, Orders page
The order a GTT placed when it triggered, today	Regular order book	Kite web or app, Orders page
A triggered GTT’s order after EOD, or any older history	Order history and tradebook	Zerodha Console
The current state of a specific GTT	GTT tab	Kite web or app, Orders page

The rule of thumb: active GTTs and today’s triggered orders are on Kite; anything historical is on Console. A GTT you cannot find on Kite has almost always triggered, expired, or been disabled, and the next step is to read its state in the GTT tab or its order in Console, not to assume it was deleted.

Filtering and reading the list

The GTT tab lists each GTT with enough detail to identify it without opening it: the instrument, the transaction type (buy or sell), the trigger price, and for an OCO the two legs. Use these fields to scan a long list quickly. If you run many GTTs, the per-account cap of 50 active GTTs, covered in GTT validity rules on Kite , keeps the list bounded, so the tab stays readable rather than sprawling.

When a GTT shows a state you did not expect, read it against the state definitions before acting. A GTT marked triggered did its job and its order is in the book; a GTT marked cancelled or expired needs replacing if you still want the position; a GTT marked disabled was retired by a corporate action and needs a fresh placement at the adjusted level.

When the GTT tab is empty but you expected entries

An empty GTT tab when you believe you placed GTTs has a short list of causes. The GTTs may have triggered and left the active set, in which case their orders are in the book or Console. They may have expired, since an equity GTT lasts one year and a derivative GTT ends at contract expiry. Or they may have been auto-disabled by a corporate action. Confirm which by checking the order history in Console for trigger events and by reading GTT states . An empty active list does not mean nothing ever happened; it means nothing is currently waiting.

What can go wrong

Looking in the regular order book for an active GTT: active GTTs live in the GTT tab, not the order book. The order book holds only orders sent to the exchange.
Expecting a triggered GTT to stay in the GTT tab: a triggered GTT leaves the active list because the trigger is spent. Its order is in the regular order book for that day.
Searching Kite for old GTT history: Kite is a same-day, live view. Use Zerodha Console for any record beyond the trigger day.
Trying to delete a triggered GTT: you can delete only active GTTs. A triggered GTT has already acted and cannot be deleted.
Assuming an empty GTT tab means deletion: the GTTs may have triggered, expired, or been auto-disabled by a corporate action. Check Console and the GTT state before concluding they were deleted.
Missing app notifications: the GTT tab is not a live alert. Keep Kite app notifications enabled so a trigger reaches you without watching the tab all day.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the GTT tab on Kite?

On Kite web, click Orders in the top navigation, then switch to the GTT tab alongside the regular orders and baskets tabs. On the Kite app, tap Orders in the bottom navigation, then select the GTT tab at the top of the Orders screen.

Why can't I see a GTT that already triggered in the GTT tab?

A triggered GTT leaves the active GTT list because the trigger is spent. The order it placed appears in the regular order book for that trading day. For a record beyond that day, use Zerodha Console’s order history and tradebook.

How do I see my active, triggered, and expired GTTs on Kite?

Open Orders and switch to the GTT tab. The list shows each GTT with its state: active GTTs are waiting, triggered GTTs have fired, and cancelled or expired GTTs are no longer live. Each entry shows the instrument, trigger, and transaction type.

Can I find GTT orders on the Kite mobile app?

Yes. Tap the Orders icon in the bottom navigation of the Kite app, then select the GTT tab at the top of the Orders screen. The app GTT tab mirrors the web GTT tab and lets you view, modify, and delete active GTTs.

Where does a triggered GTT order go on Kite?

It leaves the GTT tab and becomes a regular order in the order book for that trading day. If it does not fill, the exchange cancels it at end of day, so it is not visible from the next session; the permanent record is in Zerodha Console.

How do I find a GTT's history after it has triggered?

The Kite GTT tab and order book are live, same-day views. For history after the trigger day, open Zerodha Console: the order history retains the order events and the tradebook retains the fills, regardless of the overnight day-order cleanup on Kite.
