📢 RMS Policy Update: Market Orders in Index Options

Announcements
1

Starting Monday, 20 July 2026, Alice Blue has revised its Risk Management System (RMS)
Policy for placing Market Orders in Index Options.

What’s Changed?

Under Normal Market Conditions
● Market Orders in Index Options are now allowed from market opening (9:15 AM).

During High Opening Volatility
● If the underlying index opens with a gap-up or gap-down of more than 1%, Market
Orders in Index Options will be blocked for the first 5 minutes (until 9:20 AM).
● During this period, you can continue placing Limit Orders.

Why This Change?

The revised policy is designed to:
● ️Help protect you from unintended executions during periods of high opening volatility.
● :chart_increasing: Support fair price discovery in fast-moving markets.
● :balance_scale: Offer greater flexibility during normal market openings while maintaining effective risk
controls.

What This Means for Traders

● :white_check_mark: Normal opening: Market Orders are available right from market open.
● :warning: Volatile opening (>1% gap): Use Limit Orders during the first five minutes, as
Market Orders will be temporarily restricted.

Stay informed and plan your trades accordingly to ensure smooth order execution.

This was very helpful for me and I appreciate the clear explanation of the revised RMS policy. I’ll keep this in mind while placing trades, especially during volatile market openings.
