To continuously improve Delta Exchange, we regularly conduct planned maintenance. Maintenance is required to improve the performance of the existing website and services and also add new services/ features. Our planned maintenances generally consist of three phases:
Phase 1 - Cancel Only Mode
Before entering into maintenance, as a precursor warning, we enable cancel only mode. In this phase users can :
- Cancel/ Edit their open orders
- Access all pages and view complete market information
However, they cannot:
- Cancel/ Edit any open positions>
- Add any new orders in any product
This phase is enabled for 2 - 5 minutes before each planned maintenance
Phase 2 - Maintenance
In this phase, we start the upgrade/ repair work the on our website. In this phase users can :
- Access certain informational pages which do not use market data
However, they cannot:
- Access multiple sections of the website which use market information such as Trade page, markets page
- Cancel/ Edit any open orders
- Cancel/ Edit any open positions
- Add any new orders in any product
Please also note that during this phase liquidations or stop orders are not triggered. This duration of this phase is variable and is communicated with the maintenance announcement
Phase 3 - Post Only Mode
In this phase, we re-initiate the website with limited functionality. At the end of this phase, a single price auction is conducted to determine the opening price. In this phase users can
- Access all pages and view complete market information
- Add new orders, however, orders will not be executed as matching of orders is not initiated
- Cancel/ Edit their open orders
However, they cannot:
- Cancel any open positions
This phase is generally active for 5 - 10 minutes before each planned maintenance. Post completion of Post only mode phase, normal trading resumes and all sections and features of the website become accessible.
