Max Multiplier is a variant of our Margin intraday square-off (MIS) product
It is a two leg order where client places buy/sell order along with corresponding stop loss order.

Clients can take leverage as per their risk appetite. In this product client can take maximum exposure up to
66.66 times in cash market and 133 times in Nifty Futures.
4) How it functions?
Max Multiplier is a two leg order where client places buy/sell order along with corresponding Stop Loss
order. Client has to input the trigger price for the second leg in the same order.
First leg (buy / sell) is placed at market.
Second leg is a Stop loss market order. It remains pending till trigger price is not reached. Once price
reaches the trigger price, the order becomes active & executed as market order.
Trigger Price: Client has to enter the trigger price within the range (stop loss range specified by RSL) which
is displayed on the screen. For example if scrip is trading at Rs. 100 & range is specified as 3%, i.e. client can
specify any price between 97 to 100 as trigger price.
Once the first leg is executed, second leg (stop loss order) cannot be cancelled. It can only be exited from
the order book. Exiting means placing a market order.
Cover order can only be cancelled till such time first leg is not executed. In a very rare scenario, If the first
leg is not executed the order book will display the status as “Open” for both the orders.
Once the first leg is executed, order book will display status as “Completed” for first leg & “trigger pending”
for second leg.
5) Can Stop Loss order be modified once the first leg is executed?
Once the first leg is executed, Stop Loss order can be modified till such time it doesn’t reaches the trigger price.
If you modify the stop loss order, margin requirement will be recalculated & blocked accordingly.
6) Can Stop Loss order be cancelled?
 If first leg of the order is traded/executed then Stop Loss order CANNOT be cancelled. However Stop
Loss can be converted to market order.
 If first leg of the order is NOT traded/executed and goes into pending orders, then Stop Loss order alone
CANNOT be cancelled.
 If first leg of the order (which is not yet traded/executed) is cancelled by the client then Stop Loss order
will be cancelled by the system automatically.
