interactive brokers order execution time

#1
I use interactive brokers.

Today, I shorted 100 shares of INFY at around 3900 and covered it at around 3893. The process of covering up took approximately 8 secs, which is a huge amt of time for such a volatile market.

Can you'll share your experience with other brokers like RK GLOBAL/ZERODHA. Does it take this long to execute an order?

Thanks

this is normal with equities. Issue is buying/selling big quantities of shares.

To avoid this switch to futures.

In equities this is very common [with any broker] if you place an order in a large number of shares. If you trade in such quantities of equities that they match Futures Lots then its better to trade in respective Stock Futures as your trade will take place in one go.
