Postback for partial fills

joy

The documentation (for postbacks) states

Current status of the order. Most common values or COMPLETE, REJECTED, CANCELLED, and OPEN. There may be other values as well.

I presume by state == OPEN. you are referring to partial fills.

If so, then I am not gettings any postbacks for partial fills. Please find below the postback which I received

{"order_id":"170228000316388","exchange_order_id":"1200000002348165","order_timestamp":"2017-02-28 12:30:13","exchange_timestamp":"28-Feb-2017 12:30:08","status":"COMPLETE","status_message":"","placed_by":"userId","user_id":"userId","tradingsymbol":"RELIANCE","exchange":"NSE","transaction_type":"BUY","order_type":"LIMIT","quantity":10,"filled_quantity":10,"unfilled_quantity":0,"price":1237.65,"average_price":1237.65,"trigger_price":0,"product":"MIS","validity":"DAY","tag":"b01fa622","checksum":"631341ca082ae4736dc9823af15decda8257b5b414791b7cad3f1844ae58edf9"}

while the actual trades are in 2 (two) blocks (quantity 7 & 3 resepctively):

{"product": "MIS", "exchange": "NSE", "order_id": "170228000316388", "exchange_order_id": "1200000002348165", "order_timestamp": "2017-02-28 12:30:08", "trade_id": "51114594", "exchange_timestamp": "2017-02-28 12:30:08", "average_price": 1237.65, "tradingsymbol": "RELIANCE", "transaction_type": "BUY", "instrument_token": 738561, "quantity": 7},

and

{"product": "MIS", "exchange": "NSE", "order_id": "170228000316388", "exchange_order_id": "1200000002348165", "order_timestamp": "2017-02-28 12:30:13", "trade_id": "51114818", "exchange_timestamp": "2017-02-28 12:30:08", "average_price": 1237.65, "tradingsymbol": "RELIANCE", "transaction_type": "BUY", "instrument_token": 738561, "quantity": 3}

It seems there are no postbacks for the "actual trades". Can you please confirm this. Also please let me know when the postbacks are actually called.

Hi @joy,
Postbacks are only sent after an order is completed, rejected or cancelled.

@sujith thx.

The post backs seems to be a major Achilles heel in the kite api.

Without the post backs the client app is pretty much blind. Plese add my request for a comprehensive post backs for future enhancements.
