Order Placement and Modifications
What happens to your order after you place it?
When an order is submitted but has not yet been sent to the exchange or is awaiting exchange confirmation, it is categorised as a 'Transit' order. This status can persist for an extended duration, only when order processing experiences delays at either the exchange or broker's end, often due to factors such as quote stuffing, infrastructure issues, or connectivity disruptions.
In the case of Dhan's API, it's common to receive an immediate 'Transit' order status with an order ID in the response shortly after placing an order. This occurs because the order placement request and response are typically very fast, while the exchange's response confirming the order is still pending.
