Before you start

Locate the exact working order and inspect its fills. Edit quantity means the unfilled remainder, not a replacement for its already-filled total.

Edit the working remainder

  1. Open Orders and find the account, instrument, and exact working order. Choose Edit.

  2. Change the fields offered for its type: price, trigger, separate stop-limit price, size, or trailing distance.

  3. The size in this editor is the new unfilled remainder. If 2 units already filled and you change the remainder to 3, the resulting order total is 5 units.

  4. Save, then inspect the updated working order. Increasing the remainder is checked against current risk and capacity and loses its previous queue priority.

Cancel and reconcile

  1. Choose Cancel on the intended working order. Check the confirmed status before replacing it.

  2. A fill can race with cancellation. Review Positions and fill history even if you requested cancellation.

  3. The Cancel all control in Orders cancels entry orders and keeps position protection. Individual protective-order cancellation removes that protection. Neither action closes an already-filled position.

Protective order size follows its protection setup. Use the position TP/SL dialog to change the protected quantity rather than resizing a protective order in the working-order editor.

WHEN YOU NEED A HAND

Common questions

Can I edit an already filled order?

A completed fill cannot be rewritten. Manage the resulting position; only the supported fields of a working order can be amended.

I canceled the order but still have a position.

Cancellation affects the unfilled remainder. Any earlier fill remains exposure; use the position close controls if you intend to exit.

CHECK YOUR RESULT

You’re done when…

The working order shows the saved change or confirmed cancellation; already executed fills remain in history.

If this does not match what you see, use Common questions above or contact support with the page and account details.
