Redundant Execution

Execution

Redundant execution, within cryptocurrency and derivatives markets, denotes the unintentional dispatch of multiple orders for the same asset and quantity, originating from a single trading instruction. This phenomenon arises from system-level inefficiencies, API connectivity issues, or algorithmic flaws, potentially leading to overexposure or unintended position adjustments. Effective risk management protocols necessitate monitoring for and mitigating the financial consequences of such occurrences, particularly in high-frequency trading environments.
