First order

Review the full order before submitting, then verify its result.

Start on testnet if you are learning the flow. This guide explains the UI; it does not execute an order or imply that every order will fill.

At a glance

Why It Matters

What traders and researchers should take away

  • The same display ticker can refer to different spot, perp or HIP-3 instruments.
  • An accepted order, an executed fill and a closed position are different outcomes.

How it works

What the product uses behind the scenes

  • Trading requires the selected account, supported market and approved trading authority to agree.

Notes

Things to know

  • Market execution can slip; a limit order can remain unfilled.
  • Testnet validation is not proof of mainnet liquidity or execution quality.

Guide

Steps

  1. Check prerequisites

    Confirm network, master/subaccount, current balances and trading authority. Complete Enable Trading only after reviewing its approvals. Resolve missing collateral or account warnings first.

  2. Build a simple ticket

    Select the exact instrument and choose Market or Limit, Buy/Long or Sell/Short, and size units. Review supported margin mode, leverage, order value, required margin and any TP/SL or reduce-only settings. For Limit, verify price and time-in-force.

  3. Submit and reconcile

    Read the confirmation and submit only the intended order. Check Open Orders for working orders and fills/trade history for executions. Check Positions for resulting exposure; do not infer a fill from a success toast or chart line.

  4. Manage or exit deliberately

    Edit or cancel a working order, or use Edit TP/SL on a position as appropriate. To close, review the close amount, side and reduce-only behavior. Confirm fills and remaining position size after the action; cancelling an order does not close an existing position.

Open the workflow

Use advanced execution after the simple flow

Advanced order types add conditions, not guaranteed completion.

  • Scaled orders split an order into levels; review every level and total size in the preview.
  • Private TWAP submits child orders over time. Track executed size and residual exposure when it ends or is cancelled.
  • Chart order and TP/SL lines are controls and visual feedback, not independent evidence of exchange settlement.

Rejected, pending or partially filled?

Inspect the exchange result before retrying.

  • For an asset or account mismatch, reselect the exact market and scope and wait for current metadata; never substitute a similarly named instrument.
  • For insufficient collateral, inspect available balance and the funding route rather than raising leverage to hide the warning.
  • If the result is uncertain, reconcile Open Orders, fills and Positions before resubmitting. A retry can otherwise duplicate exposure.
