Managing Orders
Track your activity with Open Orders, Order History, and Trade History, understand the In Orders balance, and fix common order rejections.
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:
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
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. Common causes:
Price not aligned with tick size — round your price to a valid increment (e.g. with tick size 0.10,
2,100.05is 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 with the market, your order details, and a screenshot of the rejection reason.
