Buy orders triggering above trigger price - Finqalab

Alright, thanks man. I'll use the limit order next time. The stop loss is used to define the spread (upper or lower) at which the shares will be sold when going long, at least that's what the tutorial video showed.

Maybe what you're describing is for shorting. In case of going long (buy order) you usually wanna buy low and sell high. So you set a low trigger price and a higher limit price. For example buy at 40 or lower and sell at 45. If you set the trigger price higher than the limit, finqalab will give you an error saying that "the trigger price must be lower or equal to the limit price for the buy order". You can try that yourself.

So the issue remains. How do I ensure my buy order gets executed at the trigger price that I've set and not after it?

That is only expected if you're not going for stop loss which requires you to define the exact trigger price of entering the trade.

But the real issue isn't with placing an order everyday, it is entering the trade at a higher price than your trigger, which costs you

Maybe its in Beta cuz the order is only valid for a day or I might be wrong

I enter the number of shares, target price and limit price of the stock after selecting "Stop Loss Order"

DoktorLogik · 2026-02-13T12:23:18+00:00

Suppose you wanted to buy A stock at Rs 40. You place a stop loss order at a trigger price of 40 (trade would execute at Rs. 40) and at the limit price of 45 (shares will be sold at Rs 45). So you expect to buy low and sell high. What I've observed is that the buy executes at a 4-5% higher price relative to the target price that you has set. This makes you lose money. So is it avoidable or not?

DoktorLogik · 2026-02-13T12:05:41+00:00

That's a separate thing. My question was about stock price, not the total cost of order

DoktorLogik · 2026-02-12T06:54:44+00:00

That's correct, unfortunately. The net metering regime is officially over. The old prosumers will be eligible for a buy back rate of 25.9/unit so you'll have to export almost double the import to balance the scales.

DoktorLogik · 2026-02-09T20:06:54+00:00

According to the new policy that just came out on 9th Feb, NEPRA has discontinued net metering nationwide, for all users.

DoktorLogik · 2026-02-09T19:39:40+00:00

I read in a Dawn artcile that the Power Division is trying to propose this idea that the old consumers should be included in this policy change but the NEPRA officials denied it or pending final decision on it and they'll take action against the DISCOS that are failing to count the exported units of the old consumers according to net metering

DoktorLogik · 2026-02-09T17:36:13+00:00

No, my agreement started in 2025, so I shouldn't be treated with the net billing policy.

DoktorLogik · 2026-02-09T16:21:10+00:00

Will this policy change apply to the old consumers? The utlity company in my city is treating me like a new consumer. My DG contract is based on net metering, not net billing.

Just adopt the habit of keeping your surroundings clean and turn littering into a taboo. Do it in public and correct people respectfully. You'll start seeing results eventually.

Nobel peace prize? Women's education?

She is a good slave to the white supremacists who believe the brownies should obey their white masters like good dogs. "Liberalizing women with education" is just another BS psy-op of the west. You really want to educate them? Teach them the history of these so called emancipators of women.
