🎓 Lesson 3: Orders

🎯 Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to:

• Understand what appears on the Orders page
• Manage active limit orders
• Manage scheduled time orders

🧭 Introduction

The Orders page is for instructions that have not finished yet.

That usually means one of two things:

• A limit order is still waiting to be matched
• A time order is scheduled to execute later

Open it from the trading header or visit 🔗 Orders.

📌 Limit Orders

The Limit Orders tab lists active limit orders that are unmatched or only partially filled.

Each order row typically includes:

• Trade information
• Filled shares
• Total stake
• Event start time
• Order expiration
• A cancel action

Use this tab when you want to answer questions like:

• Has my order filled yet?
• How much of it is already matched?
• Should I keep it live or cancel it?

From this page, you can:

• Search for a market or outcome
• Sort orders by key fields
• Cancel a single order
• Cancel all limit orders

⏰ Time Orders

The Time Orders tab lists orders scheduled to execute at a chosen time.

Each row includes:

• Trade information
• Share size
• Scheduled execution time
• Actions to update or cancel the order

Use this tab when you want to:

• Confirm a scheduled close is still correct
• Move the execution time earlier or later
• Cancel the schedule if your plan changes

OddsFantasy lets you search for a time order, edit its execution time, or cancel it entirely.

🔄 How Orders and Positions Work Together

The Orders and Positions pages are closely connected.

• A limit entry starts on the Orders page and becomes a position once matched
• A scheduled close created from the Positions page appears as a time order
• If you cancel an order before it fills, no new position is created from it

This means your workflow usually looks like this:

1. Submit a limit or time-based action
2. Monitor it on Orders
3. Move to Positions once execution happens

🧭 A Good Habit Before Event Start

Before a market goes in play, quickly review your Orders page and ask:

• Do I still want every open limit order to remain live?
• Is the scheduled close time still correct?
• Has anything partially filled that needs attention?

This quick check helps you avoid unwanted exposure.

🔁 Recap

Use the Orders page to manage instructions that are still pending:

• Limit Orders for unmatched or partially matched entries
• Time Orders for scheduled future execution
