Unless you confirm the order to get placed, it will not.<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re using ZT Dealer with a Dealer login, you have the option to select whether the orders are to be placed automatically, or you should be prompted to confirm the order before placing. This is explained further below.<\/p>\n<p>To take your strategy to the live market, right-click on the chart, click on Scripts, select the scrip which you want to go live with, and click on Live.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2165\" style=\"width: 1374px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2165\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2165\" title=\"Taking a Strategy Live\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/z-connect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/img_52806c3e5811f.png\" width=\"1364\" height=\"711\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taking a Strategy Live<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You then need to fill in your order details and set order preferences.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2166\" style=\"width: 616px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2166\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2166\" title=\"Setting Alert Preferences\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/z-connect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/img_52806ce301798.png\" width=\"606\" height=\"546\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Setting Alert Preferences<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Execution Period can be set to define the Start Time and End Time during which the orders should get placed. Product Type would help to select the product type that has been enabled, similar to placing of normal buy\/ sell orders (F1\/ F2).<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Begin With&#8217; field has three options: Any, Buy and Sell. If &#8216;Any&#8217; is selected, the algo will simply place a buy or sell order, depending on whichever condition gets satisfied first. If &#8216;Buy&#8217; is selected, the first order that the algo places will by a buy order. That means even if the sell condition gets satisfied, the system will not generate an order until the buy condition gets satisfied. The reverse is for sell.<\/p>\n<p>Product Type field is the same as the normal buy\/ sell order entry window. You can select MIS for Intraday or NRML for carry-forward positions in Derivatives or CNC for Delivery-based trades in Equity (in this case, care should be taken to avoid short sell).<\/p>\n<p>Set Interval tells the system at what chart interval the strategy should be evaluated and orders placed. This is configurable, with a base interval of 1 minute.<\/p>\n<p>You need to define the quantity to be placed per opportunity that is whenever a condition is met.<\/p>\n<p>Order Type can be set as Limit\/ Market\/ Stop Loss as per preference. In case of selecting a Limit order, you can decide a pre-defined limit or let the limit price be determined based on the signal price, which is when the buy\/ sell signal was given.<\/p>\n<p>For placing limit orders based on signal price, tick on the check-box\u00a0 &#8220;Place from Signal Price&#8221;. Select whether the price should be picked as the &#8216;Close&#8217;, &#8216;Open&#8217;, &#8216;High&#8217; or &#8216;Low&#8217; for the interval during which signal was given by selecting the option from the &#8216;Pick&#8217; drop-down option.<\/p>\n<p>You can also provide an offset that needs to be added to (in case of buy orders) or subtracted from (in case of sell orders) the signal price.<\/p>\n<p>Evaluate as tick is used in conjunction with Set Interval. If the check box for evaluate as tick is checked, the strategy will be evaluated at every tick with the calculation based on the interval entered in Set Interval field. In effect, evaluate as tick tells the system to place orders, even in between the candle based on the strategy, instead of at the close of the candle.<\/p>\n<p>Stop Loss Order trigger price allows the user to enter a trigger percentage for a stop loss order to be sent with the Buy or Sell orders generated by the strategy. This works similar to a cover order.<\/p>\n<p>The dealer can also place orders for the strategy, with the same parameters, for multiple accounts mapped to him. In case of trading for multiple accounts, you can save an account list, by clicking on &#8216;Save&#8217; and Load this list anytime while going live with any strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Once you click on &#8216;Submit&#8217;, signals will be generated with an alert to act on them whenever the condition specified in the Script is met with.<\/p>\n<h3>Controlling a Live Script<\/h3>\n<p>You can view details for all scripts that you have gone live with, by clicking on Pulse Running Scripts under the Nest Plus menu.
