BSE's F&O segment faces technical glitch
Zerodha says issue was resolved at 2.36 pm; price updates disrupted across brokers
BSE's F&O segment experienced a technical issue on Wednesday, causing disruptions in price updates on various brokerage platforms. The exchange informed Zerodha, a prominent brokerage, about the problem, which affected price updates for the F&O segment across different brokers. Zerodha promptly notified its clients about the issue on its trading bulletin at 2.12 pm.
The disruption impacted derivatives traders who depend on real-time market prices for monitoring trades and making decisions. By 2.36 pm, Zerodha confirmed that the issue had been resolved. The problem extended beyond Zerodha's platform, as price updates from BSE were affected across all its brokers. Earlier in September, traders had reported similar issues with price updates and order placement in certain BSE F&O contracts, including options with specific strike prices.
Some traders faced difficulties in updating contracts around the 75,000 mark, while others struggled with placing or cancelling orders.
