Order Status: What Happens After You Submit an Order

When you submit an order, a status window follows it until it’s settled. It usually takes a few seconds.

The statuses

Status	Meaning
Submitting order	The order is on its way to the exchange
Order submitted	Accepted and working in the order book
Order partially filled	Part of it has filled; the rest is still working
Order filled	Completely filled. If it opened a position, the window says so.
Submission failed	Not accepted. Nothing was charged to your balance.

When an order fills, the window shows its fill price, size, the price now and your available balance, and the order ID.

Add TP/SL: if the order opened a position with no exit levels, the window says “No exit levels set on this position” and offers to add a stop loss and take profit. See Stop Loss and Take Profit.
View position: open the position panel. See Managing a Position.
Run in background: close the window and keep trading; the order carries on.
Retry: after a failed submission.

Common reasons:

Insufficient balance: the order form shows the balance required next to what you have available.
Below the minimum quantity for the market.
Email not verified: some accounts need a verified email before trading. See Email Verification.
The top of the hour: trading is disabled during the first ten seconds of each hour while funding is exchanged.

The order’s Message on Order History gives the reason when there is one.
