Currently, Zerodha Kite allows a maximum order size of:
Sensex F&O:* 1000 lots per order, which gets split into 20 orders of 50 lots each (freeze quantity).
Nifty F&O: 480 lots per order, split into 20 orders of 24 lots each.
This restriction makes it inconvenient to close large open positions quickly.
Instead of forcing users to manually place multiple orders, the platform should provide an option to close the entire open position in one click, automatically handling the freeze quantity in the backend without requiring user intervention.
Is it possible to remove nudge confirmation for order slicing that have qty. more than freezing limit?
i.e. I want to punch 3600 qty. of Nifty options in one click. Currently, it is not possible in Kite as Kite needs a confirmation. This delay causes prices to move substantially. Dhan and AngelOne don’t have any confirmation. Their order slicing is straightforward and seemless in single click.
Please remove that nudge confirmation.
Large orders should be executable in one click.
Current process is bad for scalping with large qty.
We added mainly because to control fat finger trades, there are many cases where users by mistake punching much bigger orders, we added only to order slice for that reason only.
But what about scalpers? Scalpers need faster execution.
Fat finger trades are negligible but scalpers are much larger in numbers.
You are disabling something(faster execution) that is very useful for large number of traders for the sake of a very small fraction of people
At least, give an option to enable/disable this nudge confirmation.
@Siva – It would be great if this could be prioritized. For scalpers, this is one of the biggest issues.
If the goal is to protect users, one solution could be implementing a user-level max order configuration. This would allow limits to be adjusted individually per user — increased or reduced as needed.
Of course, this would introduce some complexity on the backend, but it would be a valuable feature to have in the long term.
Dude, you’ve not understood the problem I guess. I’m talking about the iceberg order. right now the platform supports just 20 leg orders. while closing the position, it doesn’t make sense to put restriction on this. We should be allowed to close any position, there should not be any restritions.
Got it, currently 36000 quantity is handled in one order for nifty, wondering if you are hitting limitations in one order? in that case I can take this up with team. Recently based on feedback we changed legs from 10 to 20.
I appreciate your understanding
