Briefing
Kestrel Markets opened its new retail liquidity routing program at 09:00, and by 09:02 the exchange gateway was throttling the router fleet's shared session for sending far more child orders than any parent order needed.
All eight order routers pass their health checks and the rollout checklist says release 5.8.0 reached every node earlier this week, so Ravi wants to roll the whole fleet back to the build that ran quietly for three months.
