Why is my order not getting executed even though its been placed successfully?

There are a few reasons why this may happen:

• Lack of liquidity: If there are not enough buyers or sellers in the market for the security you are trying to trade, your order may not be executed.
• Wide bid-ask spread: The difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept may be too wide for your order to be filled.
• Price movement: The price of the security may have moved away from your specified order price, making it difficult to execute your order.

The exchange matches orders placed during regular market hours on a price-time priority. This indicates that orders are fulfilled using a queuing system (first-come, first-served). If orders have been placed ahead of you, your order will only be filled if the orders preceding it are satisfied.

You can perform the following to bypass the line:

• Place an AMO - Limit/Market order after 3:45 p.m. (Market orders have a higher likelihood of fulfilment.)
• Before the market opens at 9:00 a.m., place a market or limit order.
• Pre-market orders are more likely to be filled than AMOs. Although you don't have to wait for pre-market hours to place an AMO, you can do so at any time between 3:45 PM and 8:57 AM on the NSE and 3:45 PM to 8:59 AM on the BSE.

Note: There is no assurance that your order will be executed, whether you make an AMO or a pre-market order. All brokers agree that this is accurate.
