How are orders and positions managed in Sahi Scalper?

Sahi Scalper is built for fast, chart-based options trading. 

1. Intraday Positions

All positions in Sahi Scalper are Intraday and are auto squared off after 3:15 PM. Users have an option to convert the position to Normal if they want to carry forward the position.

2. Supported Order Types

The following order types are supported in scalper for fresh positions:

• Market 

• Limit 

• Trigger Limit 

All these orders are placed directly to the exchange.

For exiting positions, scalper also supports SL/TP orders which are GTT orders.

3. Trigger Order Behavior

Trigger orders on Sahi Scalper are placed as Trigger Limit Orders by default due to two reasons:

• Exchange Restrictions: Trigger Market orders are not allowed for options.

• Price Protection: Sahi applies Market Price Protection (MPP) — a buffer added to the trigger price to avoid slippage.

Example:

If you set a Trigger at ₹500 for your long position and the MPP is ₹10:

• A limit order at ₹490 is sent (₹500 - ₹10) when the trigger hits.

• This ensures your order doesn't get filled far below your trigger price

4. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP)

You can manage SL/TP in two ways:

• Manual SL/TP: Set SL and TP after the position is created.

• Default SL/TP: Define your default SL and TP in the Scalper settings. These are auto-applied when a new position is created.

SL/TP orders are GTT (Good Till Triggered) and sent to the exchange as a market order when the condition is met.

5. SL/TP Quantity Auto-Match

• SL and TP quantity always matches the current open position quantity.

• If you increase or reduce your position, SL/TP quantities are auto-adjusted.

• SL and TP are linked orders — if one triggers, the other is canceled automatically to avoid unwanted exposure.

6. Market Price Protection (MPP)

To avoid slippages, Sahi applies MPP — a small buffer added/subtracted from the trigger price to set the limit order.

This is helpful when prices move quickly and execution quality matters.

Example:

• Trigger Price = ₹500

• MPP = ₹10

• Limit Order Price = ₹490 (Sell) or ₹510 (Buy)
