SEBI Increases Algorithmic Trading Limit to 120 Orders Per Second in Commodity Derivatives Segment, Effective April 2022.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has revised the limit on orders per second (OPS) for algorithmic trading in the Commodity Derivatives Segment of Stock Exchanges. The previous limit of 100 OPS per CTCL ID/ATS User-ID is now increased to 120 OPS, effective April 1, 2022. Compliance with this limit will be measured over a rolling five-second period. Stock Exchanges may further relax the OPS limit based on infrastructure capacity upgrades, subject to SEBI approval. All other conditions from previous circulars remain unchanged. This measure aims to protect investors and regulate the securities market.
