Open orders

After placing a limit order (GTC or GTD), it sits on the orderbook until filled, cancelled, or expired. You can view all your open orders from the market’s trading panel.

Viewing open orders

Open orders are shown in the trading panel below the order form. Each entry shows:
FieldDescription
SideBuy or Sell
PriceThe limit price you set
SizeNumber of shares
FilledHow much of the order has been filled so far
TypeGTC (Good-Til-Cancelled) or GTD (Good-Til-Date)

Cancelling orders

To cancel an open order:
  1. Open the market where you have an active order
  2. Find the order in your open orders list
  3. Click Cancel
Cancellation is gasless and takes effect immediately. Any unfilled portion of the order is returned to your available balance.
Market orders fill instantly and cannot be cancelled — only limit orders (GTC/GTD) can be cancelled.

Partial fills

Limit orders can be partially filled. When this happens:
  • The filled portion executes as a trade and shows up in your portfolio
  • The remaining portion stays on the orderbook as an open order
  • You can cancel the remaining portion at any time without affecting the filled portion

Order history

The Activity tab on a market page shows all recent trading activity across that market — not just yours. To view your personal order history, go to your Dashboard and open the History tab. This shows:
  • Filled orders with execution price and timestamp
  • Cancelled orders
  • Your complete trade history across all markets

Tips

Use GTC for conviction plays. If you believe a market is mispriced, set a GTC limit order at your target price and let it sit. You’ll get filled when the market moves to you — no need to watch it constantly.
Use GTD for time-sensitive bets. If your thesis depends on something happening before a specific date, GTD orders auto-expire so you don’t forget to cancel.
