What happens if my order is partially executed?

A partial execution happens when only a portion of your order quantity is filled at the exchange for example, you placed an order for 100 shares but only 60 were available at your price.

In this case:

  • The executed quantity (60 shares) will show as Executed in your Orders tab
  • The remaining quantity (40 shares) will stay as Pending and continue to look for a match in the market

You have two options for the pending portion:

  • Wait: Let it remain open and it may get executed if the price is reached during the day
  • Cancel: Go to the Orders tab, select the pending order, and cancel the remaining quantity

For Intraday orders, any pending quantity still open at 3:15 PM will be automatically cancelled by the system. The executed portion will be squared off as part of the auto square-off process.
