Low brokerage leads to people overtrading

[SachinSingh]

Fat finger trades used to happen earlier, and will keep happening in the future.
And like I said earlier, this is only a recent change, introduced a few years ago.

@SachinSingh

Few years back, the max order size used to be 7500, then it reduced to 4950, and now it’s 2800/1800. Also, it never used to get revised at the end of month either.

Check this old post & compare the freeze quantity to what it was back then to what it is now:

@nithin

This is a restriction from the exchange. Check this link on NSE .

Not to mention, the lot size has decreased too

@SachinSingh

In June last year, they first reduced the lot size to 50,

Someone mentioned that it was higher if you go more back in the day

@Devesh

I remember in early 2009 qty freeze limit for nifty future was 15000 or 300 lots.
