Dear columbus,
what is the meaning of the word , buy stop below the current price..that is merely a stop loss sell order only. That order we can place even you don't have positions. Same time you can place stop loss buy order also.
We can place 4 orders at a time in sharekhan.
1.stop loss buy order.
2. sell order for the buy trade.(it will be naturally more than the current price)
3. stop loss sell order
4.buy order for the sell trade. (it will be naturally less than the current price)
So if 1 traded first, keep 2, and modify 3 as your stop loss for the existing trade and cancel 4. If 2 materialised, then cancel 3.
If 3 traded first, keep 4, modify 1 as your stop loss for the existing trade and cancel2. If 4 materialised, then cancel 1.
