Market price protection in ATO (Alert Triggers Order)

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

Market price protection in an Alert Triggers Order (ATO) is the control on Kite that converts the market order placed by the ATO into a limit order if the price moves outside a set protection range, so an order placed automatically when an alert fires cannot fill at a freak price far from the market. An ATO is a Zerodha feature, launched on 16 September 2024, that links a basket of orders to a Kite alert and sends those orders to the exchange the moment the alert is triggered, without further action from the trader.

Kite provides a built-in alert system that notifies you when a scrip’s last traded price crosses a threshold you specify. Alerts are independent of the trading session: they monitor prices during market hours and fire a notification to your browser, mobile app or email when the condition is met. For more sophisticated multi-condition or technical indicator alerts, Zerodha Sentinel extends this capability. This guide covers the complete procedure for creating, customising and managing basic Kite alerts.
