# Why did the order get executed despite the price on charts and market depth not hitting the placed order price?

> Your order may have executed without the trigger price appearing on charts because trading and charting platforms have limitations in displaying all…

## Short answer

Your order may have executed without the trigger price appearing on charts because trading and charting platforms have limitations in displaying all price movements.

## How charting platforms display price data

Trading and charting platforms typically show only one tick (buy/sell transaction on the exchange) per second on a chart. However, multiple ticks can occur within that same second. This means your stop loss or limit order may have been executed during a tick that wasn't visible on the chart.

This limitation exists across all platforms, including NSE, Yahoo, NEST, and others.

You can verify all your executed trades directly on the exchange to confirm the exact execution prices and times.
