Is there a separate order type for Order Slicing?

No, there is no separate order type for order slicing. The feature activates automatically when order quantity reaches a pre-defined threshold defined by exchanges. It works seamlessly with your existing order.


How order slicing work?

There is automatic activation for order slicing. When you place an order that qualifies for slicing based on quantity thresholds defined by exchanges, the system automatically enables the feature. You don't need to select a special order type or change any settings.

Order slicing works with standard order types like,

  • Market orders
  • Limit orders
  • Stop-loss orders

The slicing mechanism operates in the background without changing your order placement workflow. You place orders the same way you always do and slicing gets done automatically.


When order slicing gets activated?

It gets activated when,

  • Order quantity exceeds exchange-defined freeze limits.
  • Order is placed in supported segments (NSE, BSE Equity, F&O).
  • Market conditions permit multiple order execution.

When your order qualifies for slicing, the system splits your large order into multiple smaller orders automatically.


Thus, order slicing is an intelligent feature that enhances your overall trading experience without adding any complexity to the order placement process.
