Hi Vijay,

I am not a competent person to talk on STOPLOSS , there is no guarantee
that it will be executed as YOU THINK sometimes.Especially if market jump ,say from
100 to 104 in jiffy, the stoplosses at 102 may not get executed.

best is to keep the limit price far enough from the trigger price so that the trade will execute at market price positively
In Nifty, I keep trigger only, and leave the other window as blank, meaning next available price. Sometimes takes 20 to 50 paise more, but execution is guarenteed.

Not advisable in stocks, as sometimes even liquid stocks cant handle volume. Have had a bad experience with aptech a few years back. Had an order for 2000 aptech at trigger 93. Sold at 91. From that day onwards, I have never traded stocks with an open market trigger.
 
Thank you guys for the replies. But the problem i faced is not the trade execution. but the trigger. If it had triggered it would ve got executed. the trigger was at 5628.65. Once the price crossed down this level and went to 5627. That time it should ve got triggered. But it did not. Later the price moved to 5633(+/- levels). Obviously my order should have got executed if it was triggered. I was outside and i coudlnt even cancel the order using mobile version. Had to call the customer care guys and had to start at 5619. Almost 10 points below the ideal price(according to my system).
