GTC orders on Kite: why Good-Till-Cancelled is not natively supported

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

A Good-Till-Cancelled (GTC) order is an order that rests at the exchange indefinitely, staying live until it either fills or the trader cancels it, and Zerodha Kite does not offer one, because neither the National Stock Exchange nor the Bombay Stock Exchange supports an open-ended order validity. Both exchanges purge their pending order books at the end of each trading day, so an order cannot natively persist beyond the session. The closest tool on Kite is the GTT (Good Till Triggered) feature, which Zerodha runs on its own servers as a broker-level workaround, with a validity cap that makes it not a true GTC.
