Alert-Triggered Order (ATO) on Kite

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.

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.
