Have you ever placed an order on Webull, then wondered, "Where did it go? Is it still active? Did it execute?" It's a common question for both new and experienced traders! Understanding how to monitor your pending orders is crucial for effective trading and managing your risk.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through, step-by-step, how to effectively see your pending orders on Webull, whether you're using the mobile app or the desktop platform. We'll cover everything from navigating to the correct section to understanding the various order statuses.

Let's dive in!

Step 1: Get Ready to Access Your Orders!

Before we jump into the "how-to," let's make sure you're logged in and ready to go. Are you on your phone, or are you at your computer? Webull offers a seamless experience across both, but the navigation might look slightly different. Have your login credentials handy!

Step 2: Navigating to the Order Section

This is where you'll find the heart of your trading activity – your orders!

For Webull Mobile App Users:

If you're typically trading on the go, the mobile app is your primary interface.

  • Sub-heading 2.1: Locating the Main Menu Bar

    • Open your Webull app.

    • Look at the bottom of your screen. You'll see a navigation bar with several icons. These usually include "Watchlist," "Markets," "Trade," "Options," and "Account."

    • Tap on the "Account" icon. This is your personal hub where you can manage your portfolio, funds, and, most importantly, your orders.

  • Sub-heading 2.2: Finding Your "Orders" Section

    • Once you're in the "Account" section, you'll see a summary of your holdings.

    • Scroll down slightly. You should see a section or a button labeled "Orders" or possibly "Open Orders" or "Trade Details." The exact wording might vary slightly with app updates, but it will be clearly related to your trade history and active orders.

    • Tap on "Orders."

For Webull Desktop Platform Users:

If you prefer a larger screen and more detailed view, the desktop platform is ideal.

  • Sub-heading 2.3: Accessing the Main Layout

    • Launch the Webull desktop application or access the Webull web platform through your browser.

    • Ensure you are logged in.

    • On the left-hand side or top of your screen, you'll typically see a series of tabs or modules.

  • Sub-heading 2.4: Pinpointing Your "Orders" Module

    • Look for a module or tab that says "Orders" or "Open Orders." It's usually a prominent feature on the main trading interface.

    • Sometimes, it might be nested under a broader "Trade" or "Account" section, but generally, Webull makes it quite accessible.

    • Click on "Orders" (or the equivalent module).

Step 3: Understanding the "Pending" or "Open" Orders Tab

Once you're in the "Orders" section, you'll likely see different tabs or filters. This is where you differentiate between active and completed orders.

  • Sub-heading 3.1: Identifying "Open" or "Pending" Orders

    • Within the "Orders" section, you'll usually find tabs such as "Open Orders," "Filled Orders," "Cancelled Orders," and "All Orders."

    • Select the "Open Orders" or "Pending Orders" tab. This tab is specifically designed to display all orders that you have placed but have not yet been fully executed or canceled. This is where your pending orders reside!

  • Sub-heading 3.2: Interpreting Order Statuses

    • Once you're on the "Open Orders" tab, you'll see a list of your active orders. Each order will have a status. Understanding these statuses is key to knowing what's happening with your trade:

      • "Working" or "Active": This means your order has been successfully submitted and is currently waiting to be filled in the market. It's actively trying to execute based on your specified price and conditions.

      • "Partially Filled": This indicates that a portion of your order has been executed, but there's still a remaining quantity waiting to be filled. For example, if you placed an order for 100 shares and 50 were bought, it would show "Partially Filled."

      • "Pending Cancel" or "Pending Modify": If you've tried to cancel or modify an order, it might show this status briefly while the request is being processed by the exchange. It's not fully canceled or modified yet.

Step 4: Reviewing Your Pending Orders

Now that you're looking at your pending orders, take a moment to review them thoroughly.

  • Sub-heading 4.1: Key Information to Look For

    • For each pending order, you should be able to see:

      • Symbol: The ticker symbol of the stock, ETF, or option you are trying to trade.

      • Quantity: The number of shares or contracts.

      • Order Type: (e.g., Limit, Market, Stop, Stop-Limit). This is crucial for understanding how your order is designed to execute.

      • Price: The price at which you are trying to buy or sell (for limit and stop orders).

      • Time-in-Force (TIF): (e.g., Day, GTC - Good 'Til Canceled). This tells you how long your order will remain active.

      • Status: As discussed in Step 3, this tells you the current state of your order.

      • Placed Time: When you submitted the order.

  • Sub-heading 4.2: Actions You Can Take (Modify/Cancel)

    • From the "Open Orders" section, you usually have the option to modify or cancel your pending orders.

    • To Modify: Tap or click on the specific order. You'll typically see an option to "Modify Order" where you can adjust the price or quantity (if the order type allows).

    • To Cancel: Tap or click on the specific order. You'll see a clear "Cancel Order" button. Be absolutely sure you want to cancel before proceeding!

Step 5: Staying Informed

Monitoring your pending orders isn't a one-and-done task. The market moves quickly, and your orders can fill or become irrelevant fast.

  • Sub-heading 5.1: Real-Time Updates

    • Webull's platform provides real-time updates. As market conditions change, your order status will automatically update.

    • Keep the "Open Orders" tab open, or check it frequently, especially during volatile market periods.

  • Sub-heading 5.2: Setting Up Alerts (Optional but Recommended)

    • For important orders, consider setting up price alerts. While not directly showing pending orders, these alerts can notify you when a stock reaches a certain price, which can be helpful in managing your active limit or stop orders. You can usually find the alert settings on the stock's detail page.

By following these steps, you'll gain full control and visibility over your pending orders on Webull, enabling you to make more informed trading decisions and manage your portfolio with confidence. Happy trading!
