Order Status & Messages

The Order Status panel shows the order details of each order submitted during the current day's trading session and allows you to change or cancel unexecuted open orders.

The Messages panel displays:

• status of your executions and their outcomes,
• any additional messages about the order,
• systems status,
• exchange status,
• alert, bracket, and conditional order activity, etc.

Configuration Tip

The divider bar between the Order Status and Messages views allows you to adjust how much space each view has. If you want to see more Order Statuses and fewer Messages, click on the bar and drag it down, or vice versa if you want to display more Messages.
