GTT as a stop-loss for options buying

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

A GTT (Good Till Triggered) stop-loss for options buying is a single-trigger sell GTT set on a long option position on Zerodha Kite , which releases a limit sell order to the exchange when the option’s last traded price touches your trigger; it works for index and stock options but is not an SL-M, so a fast move past your limit can leave the stop unfilled. GTT gives a long-option buyer a standing exit without re-entering an order each session, but it carries three structural limits that matter more for options than for equity: it releases a limit order rather than a market order, it fires only once, and on F&O it lives only as long as the contract. This article documents whether GTT works for long options, how to set it, and the specific risks of relying on it for a long-option stop.
