This is an extension of this post Why does my market order get changed to a limit order while trading certain scrips?.
Here is the problem. Whenever prices hit circuit, trading is halted for sometime. After that, it’s resumed. So supposed trading was halted at 100, it might resume later from 101. But since our MARKET order was converted to LIMIT at 100, it will never be filled.
Here is what I suggest. Allow manual LIMIT orders upto 5-10% higher than LTP so that our orders can get filled when trading is resumed. If you want to protect users, maybe convert MARKET to LIMIT at LTP. But DO ALLOW LIMIT ORDERS AT HIGHER PRICE.
It make no sense to have this stupid limitation.
