Exchange-defined Freeze Quantity for Currency Derivatives at FYERS

What is the freeze quantity in currency derivatives set by the exchange?

The freeze quantity refers to the maximum number of lots that you can trade in a single order. This limit is set by the exchange at 10,001 lots for both currency and cross-currency derivatives contracts. If you attempt to place an order that exceeds this limit, it will be promptly rejected with the message, "Freeze Quantity Limit Exceeded." 


However, recognising the need for larger trades, we've incorporated a feature that facilitates order slicing. This feature allows you to automatically divide your order based on the freeze quantity limits, making trading more flexible.

For an in-depth understanding of the order slicing feature, kindly refer to this article.
