In FYERS basket orders, are legs executed simultaneously or sequentially?
In FYERS Basket Orders, legs are executed sequentially. However, they are not executed in the same order in which you add them to the basket.
FYERS places the legs in the sequence that requires the lowest margin. This helps optimize margin usage while sending the orders for execution.
How FYERS executes basket order legs
When you click Execute on a basket, FYERS does not send all legs at the exact same time. Instead, the system evaluates the basket and places the legs one by one in the sequence that needs the lowest margin.
- Legs are executed sequentially.
- The execution order is decided by the system, not by the order in which you added the legs.
- The sequence is based on margin requirement.
- This means a later-added leg may be placed before an earlier-added leg if it helps reduce the margin requirement.
Basket legs are not executed in the order they are added. They are executed in the sequence having the lowest margin required.
What this means for you
- Do not assume the first leg you add will be the first leg sent for execution.
- Do not treat basket execution as a fully simultaneous or atomic action.
- Order placement depends on how the basket can be executed with the lowest margin impact.
What If?
| Scenario | What happens |
|---|
| You add legs in a specific order | FYERS may still change the execution order based on margin requirement. |
| You expect all legs to go at once | That is not how basket execution works. Legs are placed sequentially. |
| You want control over the execution order | The basket execution order is system-driven and optimized for the lowest margin required. |
