Performance of Dhan Trading Platforms on Budget Day 2024

Hi All,

Quick post on performance of Dhan trading platforms on Budget Day 2024 - 23rd July 2024.

We started the day when markets opened with 3.20 Lac concurrent (unique) clients connecting to Dhan. On Election Results day, we had witnessed a peak of 3.15 Lac concurrent clients.

At 9:35 AM

As the day passed and when the budget started, we witnessed more traders connected across our platforms.

At 11:20 AM

Our in-house Trade Execution Platform - DEXT delivered a seamless experience even as we witnessed peak moments of 50,000-75,000 trades per minute multiple times on the budget day.

Here is the overall performance of DEXT for Order Processing speeds on Budget Day 2024.

  • Orders Processed in under 25 ms: 80.65%
  • in 25-50 ms: 16.44%
  • in 50-75 ms: 1.66%
  • in 75-100 ms: 0.51%
  • over 100 ms: rest of the orders (~0.74%)

Over 97% orders on DEXT were processed within 50ms, as we have mentioned earlier the orders taking up more than 50ms are usually large iceberg orders or algo orders like bracket / cover.

As always, we continue to build and invest in systems and infrastructure to ensure we are able to provide a seamless trading experience to our traders on Dhan.

Best

Execution is something Dhan is always on top of. It remains to be seen how well DEXT scales up as the customer base grows.

This is great. I can also vouch for fast order execution that is happening now. I am experiencing it while placing manual orders, tv-webhook orders, api orders.

Hoping for a similar speed in margin updation also… :pray:

Also, the new mobile app workflow where user is re-routed to order page after every order via option chain is making order placement slow via option chain. Trading platform speed is essentially an overall package which involves the frontend and backend. Both need to keep pace with each other.

@PravinJ will it be possible to improve forever order placement time?, for instance i have noticed that they are generally executed post 9:16-9:17am instead of 9:15am, that lag of 1-2m sometimes increases the pain especially on day when market is falling heavy

Hi @Satyam Request you to drop a note to us from your registered email address, will have this reviewed for forever orders triggered from your account.

Speed for platform is very important kudos to those who work behind the scene ty thats make the difference…
