Why block CO/BO ? Margin benefit is just a side effect, Why not just reduce margin and keep it same as normal orders. Is it because there is risk on your implementation itself ?
Hi
@TracerBullet, The exchange cancel all open orders if it hits a circuit of 10% on the Index Level. In such cases, all pending orders will be canceled. Imagine your exposure if you were to have an open BO/CO position without an SL with that kind of leverage.
Crude Oil had an unprecedented crash today
(The largest ever since the Gulf War of 1991). Hence, we blocked CO/BO to be able to deal with the volatility effectively. When we deal with thousands of positions/trades, it is better to be safe than sorry. We are prudent in our risk management.
I hope this helps.
