Welcome to the FNOTrader Portfolio Execution Terminal
The Portfolio Execution Terminal is FNOTrader's execution terminal for cash equities on NSE and BSE — the app you live in when you are managing actual positions rather than researching them. It handles the unglamorous middle of trading: getting the order out at your price, making sure every position has a stop, and telling you afterwards whether your edge is real.
What makes it different
Four things define this terminal. Each exists somewhere else on its own; having them in one execution surface is the point.
01 · Alerts that place the order
Most alerts ping you. These can trade. Build a trigger on price, percent move from previous close, cumulative volume or a scheduled time, attach a complete order payload, and the platform submits it the instant the level trips.
What changes for you: you stop missing the breakout because you stepped away. Set the trigger in the morning and the trade fires at your level, at your size, with your slippage cap, while you are in a meeting.
02 · Multi-level stop-loss and target
Any number of stop and target levels per position, each covering a slice of the quantity, each watched independently on every tick, each drawn on the chart.
What changes for you: you stop choosing between "ride the winner" and "lock the profit". A 200-share position can carry three targets booking 50/100/50 and two stops — one below structure, one trailing under the last swing — and every level is honoured without you watching.
03 · Watchlists that arrive from your scanner
Tag a setup in the Market Pulse Stocks scanner and it is already here. No copy-paste, no spreadsheet, no re-typing symbols at 09:14.
04 · Copy trading — one decision, every account
If you manage a family's accounts, every trade is currently the same decision entered three or four times. Place it once on the leader and the Copier mirrors it to every follower at the multiplier you set, keeping accounts of different sizes proportional.
What changes for you: managing several accounts stops scaling your workload with the number of accounts. They stay in step, including the exits — which is the one people miss.
The 60-second tour
- Connect a broker on the Brokers tab. Connect several if you trade several.
- Your watchlists are already there if you use the Stocks scanner.
- Click a symbol to load the chart and the order panel together.
- Send or stage the order — fire it, or park it in the Basket.
- Set stops and targets. They are watched server-side from that moment.
- Review in Analytics once trades close.
1 · Watchlists
Watchlists are one shared set across FNOTrader rather than a separate copy per app. The Stocks scanner is the owner of record — you tag there, and the terminal mirrors it. What you screened at the weekend is on the list on Monday.
- Six colour slots — tag a setup by colour in the scanner and it flows through.
- ETF-aware — ETFs are marked with a chip so you are not reading one like a stock.
- Auto-synced — no manual export step.
Custom lists, import and export
Beyond the six colour slots you can create any number of custom watchlists — one
per theme, playbook or timeframe. Import and export in TradingView .txt
format, with append, replace, or split-by-section on import.
The practical effect is not being squeezed into a broker's five-watchlist limit. "Earnings this week", "VCP candidates", "Pharma rotation" and "Long-term compounders" can all be alive at once.
2 · Orders and execution
The order panel takes symbol, side, quantity, product, order type, and optional stop-loss and target, and routes it to whichever connected broker account you have selected.
Buffer % — the slippage cap
Buffer % is a unified slippage guard, 3% by default. What it does depends on order type:
| Order type | What Buffer % does |
|---|---|
| MARKET | Converted to a LIMIT at LTP ± buffer%. Caps fill drift. |
| LIMIT | If you leave price blank, filled as LTP ± buffer% at submit time. |
| SL-Limit | On trigger, the limit price is computed from the then-current LTP — adaptive, not pre-set. |
| SL-Market | Buffer does not apply and is hidden. Fills at market on trigger. |
Basket orders — allocate capital across stocks
The Basket is how you spread your money across several stocks deliberately instead of one order at a time. Stage the whole set — five names, the quantity for each — and see what the combination costs before a single order leaves for the exchange.
What changes for you: position sizing stops being something you reconstruct afterwards from a contract note. You decide up front that a theme gets a fixed slice of capital and how that slice is divided between the names in it, check the total against what you actually have, adjust the weights, and send the whole basket together. Entering the same five names one ticket at a time is how people end up 40% in their favourite and 5% in the one that runs.
It also removes the drift that comes from staggered entries: the basket goes out as one action, so every leg gets the same decision and roughly the same moment, rather than the last two being filled after the move has already started.
Multi-entry and multi-exit tracking
Positions are rarely one buy and one sell. Every completed BUY becomes Entry then P1 / P2 / P3… on the chart card; every completed SELL becomes E1 / E2 / E3…. For short positions the roles invert.
This is derived live from your broker order history merged with the platform's own log, so the history survives even when the broker's API window rolls over.
3 · Risk — monitoring, stops and targets
Set stop-loss and target levels on a position and FNOTrader watches them server-side. When a level is breached the protective order goes out from our servers.
Any number of SL and TGT prices can sit on one symbol. Each renders as a dashed line on the chart, and each covers a slice of quantity, so you can take partials at every step while a runner stays on.
The Risk strip
The Risk strip sums rupee risk across all stop levels, weighted by the quantity each one covers. Protect 100/50/50 of a 200-share position with three stops and it knows you are fully covered; protect only 150 of 200 and it says so.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| NO SL amber | No stop set. Full downside exposure. |
| AT COST green | Stop equals your average buy price — a breakeven exit. |
| LOCKED +₹X bright green | Stop is above your average: even if it triggers you net a profit. |
| −₹X (Y%) red | Rupee loss and % of position at risk if every stop hits. |
The point of the strip is that "do I have a stop on everything?" becomes a glance rather than an audit.
Stop-loss re-entry
Optionally re-enter after being stopped out, up to a maximum number of attempts you set. This is for the case where the level was right but the fill was noise. The cap is the point — it turns "try again" into a bounded rule rather than an open-ended argument with the market.
4 · Alerts and alert-based orders
An alert is a trigger you set and forget — and here it can do more than notify. Tell it "when RELIANCE crosses 1,450, buy 250 with my buffer and a stop", and the order goes in the instant the level trips.
Anatomy of an alert
Trigger conditions
| Condition | Fires when |
|---|---|
| Price crosses X | The live price crosses above or below a price you set. |
| % change > / < X | The day's percent move from previous close crosses your threshold. |
| Volume > X | Cumulative volume for the day exceeds a threshold. |
| Time = HH:MM | A scheduled trigger at a specific time of day (IST). |
The "place an order" action
When the action is Place an order, the alert carries the full order config — symbol, side, quantity, product, order type, Buffer %, stop-loss and target. On fire, the platform submits it through the same code path as the order panel, including the MARKET → LIMIT conversion. The activity log records both the alert fire and the resulting broker order ID with its status, so there is always a trail.
Telegram and webhooks
Each user gets their own Telegram bot (FT<userid>_bot), surfacing messages
under the display name "FNOTrader Trade Alerts". Setup is one-time from the channels row of any
alert. Webhooks let you route fires into your own systems.
5 · Positions, holdings and settlement
One blotter shows live mark-to-market across every connected broker account, with realised and unrealised split out. If you run two or three accounts, this is the screen that tells you what you are actually carrying — rather than three broker apps that each know a third of it.
- Closed holdings — sold positions stay visible with their outcome, including T+1 settlement state, and can be re-entered directly.
- PARTIAL ribbon — flags a position that is only partly filled or partly exited, so a half-done order is never mistaken for a finished one.
- NSE / BSE auto-routing — the venue is picked for you, and can be overridden.
Funds and capital allocation
Capital allocation tiles track available, used and total funds, and the terminal reports return two ways:
Both are shown because they answer different questions, and quoting only the first is how people talk themselves into thinking a strategy is better than it is.
MTM calendar
A day-by-day mark-to-market history of the book, laid out as a calendar. Monthly P&L tells you the result; the calendar tells you the shape — whether a good month was steady or was one outlier rescuing nine bad days. That distinction is usually the useful one.
6 · Analytics and the trade journal
Analytics turns your own order history into a scorecard: is the edge real, are winners bigger than losers, and where is capital actually concentrated right now? Orders are paired into completed trades automatically — the order-log view is the trade journal.
Performance
- Win rate, profit factor, expectancy
- Average winner and average loser, and the average risk-reward actually achieved
- Best and worst performer; largest single win and loss
- Current streak and maximum win streak
Allocation
A live allocation bar and legend show how invested capital is split across open positions, so concentration is visible at a glance rather than discovered later. Broker demat holdings can optionally be folded in, turning the journal view into the full portfolio.
Charts
Charts sit next to execution rather than in a separate tab: orders, stop levels and targets are drawn on the price axis, so the position and the price action are one picture. Dragging a level modifies the order rather than just moving a line.
- Split view with linked symbols and a shared toolbar
- Indicators and drawing tools
- Per-position chart cards showing entries, exits and every SL/TGT line
Reading a stop as a number in a table and reading it as a line sitting just under support are different decisions — and the second is the one you want to be making.
7 · Copy trading — manage multiple accounts as one
Copy trading exists to solve a specific problem: running more than one account without doing everything more than once. Most people who trade for a family end up with three or four demat accounts — their own, a spouse's, a parent's, an HUF — and every trade becomes the same decision typed three times, at three slightly different prices, with one of them inevitably missed.
Place the order once on the leader account and the Copier fans it out to every follower at the size multiplier you set. Accounts of different sizes stay proportional automatically.
What changes for you: the accounts stay in step. No more logging into each one in turn while the price moves away from you, no more discovering weeks later that one account never got the exit. You manage a strategy; the Copier handles the fact that it lives in several places.
- Pick a leader — the account whose orders are the source of truth.
- Choose followers — each with its own multiplier (follower qty = leader qty × multiplier) and rounding rule, enabled or disabled individually.
- Every buy and sell fired while the leader account is selected is mirrored to enabled followers. A leader cannot follow itself.
Typical uses: running a model portfolio across several accounts, or scaling the same trade across family or managed accounts. Configure the accounts on the Brokers tab first.

Logs and audit trail
The Logs tab is a chronological, searchable feed of everything the platform did: orders placed, SL/TGT triggers, alert fires and status changes. When an automated rule acts on your behalf you can always reconstruct what happened and why.

Common questions
Can an alert place an order automatically?
Yes. Set the action to Place an order and the alert carries a full order payload. On fire it submits through the same path as the order panel, including MARKET → LIMIT conversion, and the log records both the fire and the resulting broker order ID.
Can I set more than one stop-loss on a position?
Yes — any number of stops and targets, each covering a slice of quantity and each watched independently. The Risk strip tells you if part of the position is left uncovered.
Do my stop-losses work if I close the browser?
Yes. Monitoring runs on FNOTrader's servers, not in the tab.
Does the terminal place market orders?
No. MARKET is converted to LIMIT at LTP ± Buffer % (3% default) to cap fill drift.
What are basket orders used for?
Allocating capital across several stocks in one deliberate decision — stage the names and quantities, check the total against the capital you have, adjust the weights, send it as one action. It keeps position sizing something you decide up front rather than reconstruct afterwards.
What does copy trading do?
It lets you manage several accounts as one. Place the order on the leader and it mirrors to every follower at your multiplier, so accounts of different sizes stay proportional — and the exits do not get missed on the account you forgot to log into.
Can I trade options or futures here?
No, deliberately — this app is cash equities and ETFs. Options analytics, multi-leg options execution and F&O automation are separate dedicated apps.
Where do watchlists come from?
The Stocks scanner is the owner of record; the terminal mirrors it. You can also build unlimited
custom lists and import/export TradingView .txt files.
