What was your recipe? At what temp did you combine the oils and lye? Where did the recipe come from? Did you run the recipe through a lye calc? How much did you superfat?
Did you use an actual stick blender or something else?

My recepie was
60 %olive oil pomace
30 %coconut oil
10 %almond oil
71 gm lye
190 gm water
I ran this recepie through soap Calc

Mixed my oils & lye solution at 100F
But it did not trace. Now after 21 hrs, my mixture is beginning to set though it is very soft & has oil particles on top. Is that normal?

Did you use a stick blender and reached a true trace? Is your pomace a mixture of different olive oils or possibly another oil?
It should not have any oil droplets on top. With 60% olive oil, the soap can take longer to reach trace.
