What is Order Slicing in FYERS?

Order Slicing automatically splits a large order into multiple smaller orders when the entered quantity exceeds the maximum quantity allowed per order for the selected instrument. This lets you place the required quantity without manually creating multiple orders.

You do not need to enable Order Slicing separately. FYERS automatically applies it when the entered quantity exceeds the permitted quantity per order.

How does Order Slicing work?

When you enter a quantity higher than the maximum quantity allowed for a single order, FYERS displays a message in the order window showing:

  • The maximum quantity allowed per order.
  • The number of orders into which your total quantity will be sliced.

For example, if you enter a quantity of 2,600 and the order window shows that only 1,755 quantity is allowed per order, FYERS informs you that the order will be sliced into 2 orders.


Note: Order Slicing is applied automatically. There is no separate setting or toggle that you need to enable.

How to place a sliced order?

  1. Select the required instrument and open the Buy or Sell order window.
  2. Enter the total Quantity you want to trade.
  3. If the entered quantity exceeds the permitted quantity per order, FYERS automatically displays the Order Slicing message.
  4. Review the maximum quantity allowed per order and the number of sliced orders shown in the message.
  5. Configure the product, order type, price, and other applicable order settings.
  6. Review the required funds or margin and applicable charges.
  7. Click or tap Buy or Sell to submit the order. FYERS will place the required sliced orders automatically.

Maximum number of sliced orders

Order Slicing supports a maximum of 10 sliced orders for a single order entry. If the entered quantity requires more than 10 slices, the quantity will need to be placed separately.
