Understanding partial fills on TradeLocker

What are partial fills?

Partial fills happen when a single order is executed in multiple stages. This often happens in markets with limited liquidity or when placing larger orders. As a result, your order may be split into two or more parts, each filled at a slightly different price due to varying market conditions.

Why does TradeLocker show partial fills separately?

To maintain full transparency, TradeLocker displays grouped partial fills in reports. Such orders have a small arrow ˅ that opens a dropdown.

This allows you to clearly see the different prices at which each segment of your order was executed.

Note: TradeLocker is not responsible for splitting orders. Instead, our platform simply displays what happened on the bridge or liquidity provider (LP) in real time.

Key takeaways

Here’s a summary of the main points:

1. Partial fills occur due to market conditions.
   They are common, especially with larger orders or in markets with limited liquidity.
2. TradeLocker provides transparent reporting.
   Partially filled orders are shown in a group, so that you have a complete view of your trades.
3. TradeLocker does not influence order execution.
   Our platform does not split orders; it simply displays the execution details as they are received from the bridge or LP.
