# Managing Orders

Yellow\.pro provides three views to track your trading activity — **Open Orders**, **Order History**, and **Trade History** — plus clear rejection reasons when an order fails validation.

## Open Orders

Shows all orders currently **active in the order book** — submitted but not yet filled or cancelled. Here you'll see orders waiting for the market to reach your limit price, and triggered conditional orders that are now live.

You can **cancel** any open order at any time; the funds held **In Orders** are released back to **Available** immediately.

## Order History

A full log of all orders you've placed, regardless of outcome:

| Status           | Meaning                                                          |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Filled           | The order was completely matched and executed.                   |
| Partially Filled | Some, but not all, of the order was executed.                    |
| Cancelled        | You or the system cancelled the order before it fully filled.    |
| Rejected         | The order failed validation and was never placed in the book.    |
| Expired          | The order expired due to time-in-force settings (e.g. IOC, FOK). |

Check Order History to confirm an order's status, investigate why an order didn't fill, or review a rejection reason.

## Trade History (Fill History)

Records only actual **executions** — moments when your order matched another and a trade occurred. Each entry shows the timestamp, market and side, fill price and quantity, and the fee charged.

**Key difference:** an order in Order History may have **zero fills** (if cancelled or rejected). Trade History only shows orders that actually executed. A partial fill produces one Order History entry and one or more Trade History entries.

## Balances: Total, Available & In Orders

| Balance type  | Meaning                                                                            |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total**     | All funds in your account (Available + In Orders).                                 |
| **Available** | Funds you can use right now — for new orders or withdrawals.                       |
| **In Orders** | Funds locked for active open orders and for withdrawals that are still processing. |

> **Example:** you have 1,000 USDT and place a buy limit for 500 USDT of ETH. Your balance shows **Total: 1,000 · Available: 500 · In Orders: 500**. When the order fills or you cancel it, the In Orders amount returns to Available.

Buy orders reserve the **quote** currency (e.g. USDT); sell orders reserve the **base** currency (e.g. BTC or ETH). This prevents you from spending the same funds on multiple orders at once.

## Why Was My Order Rejected?

A rejected order failed one or more validation checks and appears in Order History with a reason. For the exact tick size, step size, and limits per market, see [Market Rules & Limits](/spot-trading/market-rules.md). Common causes:

* **Price not aligned with tick size** — round your price to a valid increment (e.g. with tick size 0.10, `2,100.05` is invalid).
* **Size not aligned with step size** — adjust your quantity to a valid increment.
* **Below minimum order size** — increase the quantity.
* **Below minimum order value** (price × size) — increase price or quantity to meet the minimum.
* **Limit price outside the price band** — your limit price is more than 25% from the current market price; move it closer.
* **Insufficient available balance** — funds already committed to other open orders (shown as In Orders) don't count; cancel orders or deposit more.
* **Invalid trigger settings** — for stop orders, ensure the trigger price is on the correct side of the market and required fields are set.
* **Market temporarily unavailable** — wait and retry; contact support if it persists.

### Checklist before placing an order

* Correct market and side (Buy vs Sell)
* Price aligned with tick size (limit orders)
* Limit price within 25% of the current market price
* Amount aligned with step size
* Total order value meets the minimum
* Available balance is sufficient
* Trigger settings correct (stop orders)

## Why Was My Order Not Executed?

* **Limit price not reached** — the market never traded at your price.
* **Insufficient liquidity** — not enough in the book to fill at your price.
* **Cancelled** — by you, or by time-in-force settings (IOC/FOK that couldn't fill).
* **Rejected** — see the reasons above.

Check your Order History for the status and reason of any unfilled order. If everything looks correct and orders still fail, [contact support](/community-and-resources/contact-support.md) with the market, your order details, and a screenshot of the rejection reason.
