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 each partial fill as a separate entry in reports.

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.
   Each part of a partially filled order is shown separately, so that clients have a complete view of their 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.
