How does Disclosed Quantity work in FYERS?
The Disclosed Quantity (DQ) feature allows you to partially hide your order quantity from market participants. When placing a large order, you may not want to reveal the entire quantity to avoid influencing the price or alerting other traders. DQ lets you specify how much of your total order is visible in the market depth at any time.
Why use Disclosed Quantity?
By default, the full order quantity is shown in the market depth, which could impact price movement—especially with large orders. DQ helps manage this by showing only a portion of the total order.
Example:
If you’re placing an intraday buy order for 10,000 shares of ICICI Bank and set the disclosed quantity to 2,000, only 2,000 shares will appear in the market depth at a time. Once those are executed, the next 2,000 will show—until the full 10,000 are filled.
Platform-wise Availability and Placement
FYERS App
Disclosed Quantity is available for regular orders under Advanced Options. You can access it by tapping Show Advanced while placing an order. It applies to all product types—Intraday, Delivery, and MTF—but is not supported in Cover or Bracket orders.
FYERS Web
The Disclosed Quantity field is always visible below the main order fields. You can enter any valid disclosed quantity as long as it meets exchange-level minimums.
FYERS Trader (trade.fyers.in)
The Disclosed Quantity option appears when you click Show More in the order panel. It works similarly across order types but is restricted to regular orders only.
Key Points and Limitations
- DQ is available only for regular orders.
- It is not supported in Cover or Bracket orders across any FYERS platform.
- The disclosed quantity must be less than or equal to the total order quantity.
- The system auto-reveals the next disclosed portion only after the previous lot is fully executed.
What If
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Disclosed quantity equals full order | Order is placed normally, but DQ has no effect |
| Disclosed quantity exceeds order size | Order is rejected |
| Disclosed quantity not entered | Full order quantity is shown in market depth |
| Used in Cover/Bracket order | Not allowed – DQ is disabled for such orders |
