How to fix a market order that executed as a limit on Kite

A market order that appears to execute as a limit on Kite , Zerodha’s trading platform, has been capped by market price protection (MPP), a pre-trade control that converts a market order into a protected limit order priced within a set percentage of the last traded price . The order is not rejected and is not broken: it filled whatever quantity the protection band allowed and left any remainder resting in the book as a limit order at the cap. The confusion arises because a control meant to protect you from a runaway fill looks, in the order book, like Kite quietly changed your order type. It did not change the type; it bounded the price.
