Open Orders vs. Filled Trades: What to Check

Submission is only the first step

A submitted order can be accepted without immediately matching another participant. A resting limit order may stay open until liquidity is available at its price, until you cancel it, or until the venue expires it.

An executed trade is different: the matching portion has filled. A partially filled order can leave some shares executed and some still open. Inspect the quantity and status rather than treating every submission as a completed trade.

Where to check in PolyEase

The Assets area separates positions, open orders, and history. Positions show holdings; open orders show instructions that still need attention; history helps you review completed activity. The lists support paging for wallets with many records.

On supported market and wallet flows, a market page can also show the orders and trades associated with that specific market. Refresh and reconciliation behavior can vary when the venue is slow or the result remains uncertain.

1. Check Open orders to see whether an order still has an outstanding quantity.
2. Check History for an executed or cancelled result.
3. Check Positions to see what you currently hold before creating another sell order.

Cancellation does not undo a fill

Cancelling an outstanding order prevents its remaining unfilled quantity from matching once the venue confirms cancellation. It does not reverse shares that have already traded.

Because an order can fill while a cancellation is being processed, confirm the final status after cancelling. If the result is unknown, use the account's order view to reconcile rather than sending a duplicate instruction.

Practical checks for uncertain outcomes

Network errors and delayed confirmations do not prove that an order failed. Look for a definitive venue status and review updated positions or fills. PolyEase distinguishes uncertain outcomes from confirmed completions when they cannot be reconciled.

This guide explains operational states, not whether a particular prediction market position should be bought or sold.
