The Order Status tab in the Account Detail window displays all orders - both open and closed - placed via any Schwab channel, including Schwab.com , TeleBroker™ and Velocity.
The Order Status tab displays:
Order Status automatically updates when orders are executed either via StreetSmart Pro or other Schwab channels.
Stock symbols and price and volume data shown here and in the software are for illustrative purposes only. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., its parent or affiliates, and/or its employees and/or directors may have positions in securities referenced herein, and may, as principal or agent, buy from or sell to clients.
NOTE: Short Sell-Exempt orders will display in your Order Status tab. A customer service representative may enter Short Sell-Exempt orders on your behalf in certain limited circumstances. The most common instance when this may occur is when liquidating the underlying security where the position is held as either an equity right, warrant, convertible or restricted stock. In these circumstances, the securities are not in an acceptable form for delivery on settlement date. Note that you must file an exercise for the right, warrant, convertible or restricted stock before your order to liquidate the underlying security can be marked as Short Sell-Exempt.
