Restriction on number of modifications per order

Hello Traders,
Due to the increased volatility, we have capped the maximum number of modification requests that can be sent per order. A maximum of 25 modification requests can be sent per order.
Please note that this is a temporary restriction. We will revise this restriction once the volatility subsides.

Thank you,
Sujith

    Thanks for sticky. What happens when 25 modifications are reached? e.g. Lets say limit prices are being updated for the same order and 25 modifications are reached, then I presume Kite will not accept any more modifications. But can such order be cancelled?

    Kite Trade will throw an error with the code 429 once the limit is exceeded. You can still cancel the order and place a fresh limit order in this case.

    Not a bad decision. I actually updated my program to be more efficient with order updates. I'll keep it that way even when restrictions are removed.

    i dont understand the logic here. for zerodha every order is similar to a message we send in chat, here zerodha sending message to exchange.

    volatility has increased , for the sake of love of your clients you can increase the margin for all order types to NRML or whatever your risk model suggests, but what benefit you are getting by stopping order types between trading session.
    this is hurting systems to run normally.every now and then we have to modify our codes.

    if you are not able to manage load because you have more clients now, why dont you invest in scaling your systems . users are with you today with every now and then crashing systems, changing order types you will screw their reliability and faith in you and they will move to another party. this way everyone suffers .

    dont know who is the genius behind all these changes but god help us , the way system is behaving now a days , most of us will get burned badly one or the other day.

    P.S. : this feedback is from the point of view of a user, there might be 100 things i am not aware of happening internally , but to offer a usable solution you have to see through the eyes of the users.
