Hi, what kind of error is this? I am unable to place any orders in the commodities segment.

Hi, With respect to the notice board post on Fyers NEXT, I was trying to place orders today using that but it appears users will first need to be "migrated" to it, how to get that migration? Fyers NEXT seemed very user friendly.
Days such as this, the expiry days desperately require us to have the ability to exit rapidly failing which the account gets emptied within a fraction of a second.
After the new lot sizes in BankNifty got introduced, we are not able to exit all positions in one go if the quantity is more than 900. It remains stuck there and we are having to manually input esell orders multiple times of 900 each instead of "exit all open positions".
Neither is the button at the top "Exit All Open Positions" works nor is the X button on the widget on the chart itself that shows the quantity held.
I mean, imagine a situation when I had bought 3500 quantity of CE and BankNifty makes a giant fall, it goes from like 80 Rs to 5 Rs in 5 seconds. Meanwhile I am repeatedly placing limit orders at 70, then 60 and so on of 900 quantity each and before I can complete it, you can imagine what kind of heart attack inducing MTM would show up.
I had raised a ticket # 777060, but the executive is unable to comprehend the problem.
Charges and fees
Hi, so this is the list of charges shown on an MCX contract note sent by Fyers. I have a few doubt here.
1. What are these CM Charges and Transaction charge here?
The brokerage calculator on Fyers, lists Brokerage, Transaction Charges, CTT, SEBI, Stamp Duty and GST. What are these CM Charges? If it is transaction charge, then why is transaction charge once again levied separately?
***IGST(18% of 606.65) (Rs.) -109.20
BROKERAGE -360.00
CMCHARGES1 -123.20
CTT -62.00
SEBITOC -0.25
STAMP DUTY -3.66
TRANSACTION CHARGE -123.20
Can the SL order problem be fixed? In this crazy market we can't afford to trade without placing an SL. It keeps saying that price should be higher than the trigger price. But for SL, the price should be kept BELOW the trigger price.

I was trying to hedge Copper futures by buying Sep contract and selling Oct contract. But it is asking for additional margin. How exactly are calendar spread margins to be availed?
We desperately need both SL as well as target orders to be placed simultaneously given how this current market behaves with low liquidity conditions. Had suffered the worst ever loss because for several seconds Fyers didn't show where the price was heading and I didn't exit thinking it is just a routine pullback after breakout. Basically when we place just a target sell order, we can't place another trigger SL order because the application treats it as options selling and expects us to have ridiculously high margins, thanks to SEBI.
Given its been highlighted multiple times that the prices and chart info don't get updated on Fyers web, can't we have BO enabled for options? For futures we already have this feature. No option will head to both a higher and lower price simultaneously nor is there a threat of it getting partially filled before reversing to SL leading to some peak margin issues. During opening hours, option prices rise rapidly due to panic short covering and before we even realise, it crashes down by several rupees.
I am sure those who trade in (eg) Tata Motors would have observed this in particular that your MTM might have shown 20k, even 40k for seconds before coming down to 0 or even negative.
The problem that began some days ago with all applications of Fyers going down and with the Fyers Web completely gone bonkers is not yet solved.
We still need to refresh 500 times to get valid data and right now instead booking profit on a BO, it instead bought more quantity pushing me from profit to loss and this order is without SL or target. Just a quantity which is not getting closed.
This is really happening so frequently now that whenever we place a commodity bracket order, Fyers web application freezes and it auto squares off the order without the target or SL being hit. I lost a potential 25k profit just now.
I want to use excel strategy for firing orders. Here are a couple of issues I appear to face.
I would need a marketwatch linked to Excel and versions 2007 and later (the kind with less shortcuts and mouse based commands for everything) use up wayyy too much of system resources and freeze or hang often if they contain too many formulas or macros. Excel 2003 works like a breeze in that regard. The difference in speed is similar to the difference between using a Notepad and MS Word.
Coming back to my question, in order to do what I need, I have to have Fyers One open and the marketwatch linked to an Excel sheet which per se drains so much of system resources. Then the formulas that I want executed through API Bridge will further go through the template Excel file provided. All this really freezes up both Excel as well as FyersOne while API Bridge is running alongside. However, the option of "setup API Bridge Signals" doesn't appear on the 2003 version. Is there any place in Excel 2003 I should be looking at to do achieve the same. A lot of my troubles would be solved if I could use the older and much faster Excel.
Second, is there any way I could disable all the extra additions and open just the market watch on Fyers One so it doesn't use much of system resources? I previously used to use Odin but every broker nowadays is discontinuing their tie-ups with Odin and are giving other web trading software. Odin's marketwatch and linking it with excel used work like a breeze and the data updation such as volume and things like that used to be fabulously fast. The USP was that practically most information such as bid-ask spread and other data used to start appearing in pre-open market itself. Fyers One on the other hand, when it freezes, data stops updating on Excel and I have to keep refreshing or scrolling back and forth on the lengthy custom market watch window I made failing which all the data shows as #Div0 or some other # error.
