Understanding the terms on screen
Distinguishing order types from execution status helps you know what to check next.
| On-screen term | Meaning | When to use it | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limit | Limit order | When you want to set the trading price yourself | It may remain pending, fill partially, or fill immediately if the conditions are met. |
| Market | Market order | When you want to attempt execution at currently available prices | The latest price on screen may differ from the actual average fill price. |
| TP / SL | Take profit / stop loss conditions | When setting conditions for closing a position | Check the reference price, quantity covered, and execution method. A fill at the set price is not guaranteed. |
| Open Orders / Orders | Pending orders | When checking unfilled, partially filled, or conditional orders awaiting a trigger | Cancel cancels the remaining order. Check any position already filled separately. |
| Positions | Positions actually held | When checking filled quantities and current P&L | Check the entry price, Mark Price, margin, liquidation price, and the position you intend to close. |
| Reduce-only / Close | An order that reduces a position | When closing part or all of an existing position | Distinguish it from opening a new position in the opposite direction, and check the remaining quantity after closing. |
Key differences to understand first
Keep the desktop and mobile examples separate, and verify order results in your history.
Distinguish submission, execution, and cancellation
An order success notification may only confirm submission. Check both the Filled quantity of pending orders and the actual position. Canceling a partially filled order leaves the quantity already held in place.
Distinguish Open from Close
This futures example has separate Open and Close tabs. The screen layout and behavior of an opposite-direction order can vary by position mode. To close a position, first check the target position and closing quantity.
Screens covered in this guide
The desktop example is a BTCUSDT Isolated Long trade of 0.018 BTC at 6x on October 26, 2026. TP 80,400 / SL 80,200 was saved, then manually canceled, and the position was closed using Market Close at 100%. The unfilled limit close order was canceled automatically. The mobile example is a separate trade closed by a TP trigger.
Price gains and final P&L are different
The desktop example's final P&L is -1.5613 USDT. It reflects price P&L of -0.477 USDT minus entry and exit fees totaling 1.08431415 USDT, with zero funding fees. The mobile example has no final Closed P&L detail screen. Read the results of these two trades separately.
Check the position and remaining orders together
After submitting a closing order, check actual fills and the remaining quantity held. Review pending orders and TP/SL separately, then compare the contract, time, and quantity in the history to read the final result.
