Three independent websocket connections with on_order_update

ANL

I could not find the query regarding multiple independent WS connections with on_order_update program.

This is to provide clarity about configuring three independent WS connections and one separate on_order_update program.

my on_order_update program doesn't have an instrument token subscription, as it is just listening to the order updates.

Will the Kite API recognize the on_order_update connection as a WS connection? or will only a WS connection be considered when subscribing to tokens in separate WS programs? Could you clarify.

Each program having KiteTicker initialization, is considered an independent connection. The total program initializing KiteTicker, should not exceed 3 per API key.

configuring three independent WS connections and one separate on_order_update program.

So, here in your case, the program calling just on_order_update will be considered as a new independent ws connection.

Currently, I am running three subscription programs with the on_order_update program. Is this because of legacy reasons? Any exception for on_order_update in future?

Why do you need an independent program to get on_order_update? You can consume the same in either of those existing ws connections.

Any exception for on_order_update in future?

No, plan as of now.

The entire order handling program is considered a separate program.
