If an order that has not be filled, traders can view details about their order like:

  • Status: this column contains the order status as an icon on the left (hover for details) and the order type in text on the right (e.g., limit, market, etc.)

  • Side: buy (long) or sell (short)

  • Amount / Filled: this is the total size of your order and how much of the open order has been filled

  • Price: the limit price at which the order is placed

  • Trigger: the trigger price at which the order is placed

  • Good Til: Order will remain open, unless it is filled, until the Good Til date. The default value is 28 days, which can be changed when placing the order. Maximum is 90 days on the front end and 95 on the protocol by default.

A trader can cancel an open order at any time by clicking the red cross on the right of the order.

FAQ

How to close my trade if I am unable to close it manually by clicking the x button on the interface? You can place a Market Order which will execute immediately at the best price available, depending on the liquidity on the other side of the order book.

Here's how you can do it:

1) Select Market in the trade box.

2) Choose Buy if you're closing a short position or sell if you're closing a long position.

3) Enter the Amount you wish to trade, which is the amount by which your position will increase or decrease when the order is filled.

4) Remember, market orders are submitted as Immediate-or-Cancel orders, meaning the order will fill immediately and any unfilled part will be canceled.
