Delay in exit order executions

Hi Team,

I am punching orders through API via Algotest. To my notice the exit orders are getting delayed upto 2 minutes from the actual execution time. The execution settings there are like when trigger hits a limit order should be placed ( for exit orders it just modifies the existing SL to the LTP as limit price) and if it doesn’t execute it converts to market after 5 seconds. But in my case the exit orders are getting converted to market directly after 20-30 seconds and in some cases upto 2 minutes. I have raised this to them and they said to check with broker. Kindly check upon this and help.

Thank You.

Today here all the sell orders should have executed at 10:44:45 only as target was triggered but it keeps going on till 10:47:15. every leg was getting converted to market after a gap of 15 to 30 seconds. Happened this with many orders.


The difference between actual trigger time and execution time should be ideally maximum 5 to 6 seconds but it went on upto 3 minute. The more number of legs in one strategy the more is delay causing as per observation.




@Pradeep_Jaiswar any solution on this issue? this has happened today as well. Existing SL order supposed to modify at 15:28 as per LTP and if not executed within 5 seconds then convert to market but it has directly modified to market after 15 seconds.


@Pradeep_Jaiswar Sir, can you please check and update.

@Pradeep_Jaiswar Sir please check this as I am loosing money everyday bcz of this issue

The SL order log was observed on 07/03/2024 at 10:47:00.045 AM, and the order modification occurred at 07/03/2024 10:47:14.995 AM. There’s a consistent pattern of placing and modifying requests at intervals of 15-20 minutes. Currently, there are no identified issues with order execution.

Please proceed to place an order on the upcoming trading day. I will examine the system’s records for that day and will inform you if any discrepancies are found from our side, ensuring a thorough verification.
