How to check your order status
You can monitor your orders in the app or on web by navigating to your Orders section.
Common order statuses include:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending / Open | Your order is waiting to execute |
| Partially filled | Part of your order has executed |
| Filled | Your order has completed |
| Cancelled | Your order has been cancelled |
| Rejected | Your order could not be accepted |
Amending or cancelling an order
Open orders may be amended or cancelled before execution completes.
Depending on the order type and market conditions:
- only certain fields may be editable
- partially filled orders may have limited amendment options
- some amendments may be rejected if no details were changed
If an order has already fully executed, it cannot be cancelled or amended.
