Help CenterWhat are partial fills?
A partial fill occurs when an order is executed in multiple stages instead of being filled all at once. This often happens due to:
- Limited market liquidity (not enough buyers/sellers at your price).
- Larger order sizes that cannot be filled immediately.
- Price fluctuations affecting execution.
Each part of the order may be executed at different prices, depending on 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.
