Canceling and Closing Orders on Vector – Vector Crypto

This article aims to explain the Cancel and Close Order functions present in two of Vector's main trading tools, the ChartTrading and the SuperDOM, and also why at times, these might not work as we expect.

Buy and Sell orders are placed on Vector and sent for approval by the exchange. If approved, they are executed, turning into positions. Another investor has to accept your asking price before the trade is approved and processed by the exchange for your API Key.

Order Status Definitions:

Open orders are unfilled and pending execution.

Open Orders are offers.

Open Orders can be canceled.
