Order Status Column Descriptions

See Order Status Columns and Settings for directions on setting up your Order Status display.

Name Description
Status

Displays the current status of your order (filled, open, cancelled, etc.).

Open orders display a green indicator, filled or canceled orders display a red indicator, and contingent orders are indicated by an orange indicator.

For orders with brackets and for conditional orders, click the arrow to view the contingent portions of the order.  

Symbol The unique 1-5 characters used to represent the security. Symbols are defined by the different markets or exchanges. Sometimes a security might not have a symbol, in which case, an internal Schwab reference # will be used.
Action Displays the action type of the order (Buy, Sell, Buy to Open, etc.).
Change Yes/No Indicates whether the order is still eligible to be changed.
Cost Basis Method

Click View link in column to see the Cost Basis Method being used for each individual closing non-option order.

Order-level cost basis method can be viewed in a popup window from StreetSmart Edge® in this column, but you can only change the cost basis method for an individual order from the Order Status tab of Schwab.com.

Trigger (current)

During market hours, displays the price at which a trailing stop order will be triggered. The trigger price is calculated by using the point or percentage amount and subtracting it from the bid on sells or adding it to the ask on buys. As the security's price increases (for sells) or decreases (for buys) the trigger price moves up or down, and the Order Status panel displays streaming updates.
