Quantity - units or no of lots for all segments

namratasonawane

Hello,

The question is about all fields related to quantity (order qty, buy qty, sell qty, filled qty etc.) in following APIs:

1. Place Order
   
2. Modify Order
   
3. Read Order
   
4. Read Position
   

All of these APIs take quantity in (no. of lots or as a multiple of lot size)?
As far as my understanding goes, the quantity related fields are always in multiple of lot size for derivatives.
It means I need to send quantity as 50 to buy/sell one lot of NIFTY. And quantity shown by orderbook, positionbook apis will also be multiple of lot size (correct me if I am wrong).

However, is that true for all of the following segments? Or is it applicable for NFO only?

• NFO
  
• CDS
  
• MCX
  
• NCDEX
  
• BFO

Yes, you are right. It is applicable for all the segments.

For MCX, though we say quantity(trading quantity) is 1, actual weights traded is mentioned here.
