The NSE, meanwhile, hasn’t acknowledged or disclosed what caused the issue.

Now, technical glitches don’t happen all too often on the NSE, equity traders do have the choice of switching the exchange from the NSE to the BSE, to square off any open positions there. That said, traders looking to settle an existing position in the derivative segment have little to go on in terms of a solution.

In the case of orders getting placed but not executed due to a technical issue, popular stockbroker firm Angel One Ltd recommends traders cancel their orders immediately. That’s because when the markets finally get reopened after an outage, they might do so with a gap.
