An After Market Order (AMO) on Zerodha Kite is an order placed outside the regular NSE/BSE trading session (9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST) that is queued and forwarded to the exchange when the next session opens. AMOs let investors and traders act on research or news that arrives after market hours, locking in their intended price or order parameters without having to be present at the opening bell. This guide covers the complete placement procedure for an AMO on Kite, the timing windows, and what to expect at execution.

An AMO (After Market Order) is a feature on Kite, Zerodha’s trading platform, that allows traders to place buy or sell orders outside normal market hours. The order is stored on Zerodha’s servers and submitted to the exchange at the start of the next trading session. This facility enables traders who cannot monitor markets during live hours to set orders in advance, including in the evenings, early mornings, or on weekends.

AMO is not an exchange-level order type. It is a Zerodha platform-level feature. When the designated submission window opens, Kite routes AMO orders to the National Stock Exchange or Bombay Stock Exchange as standard limit, market, SL, or SL-M orders.
