- After I place an order, can I change it or cancel it?
- Some orders can be modified or canceled and some cannot.
- Market orders generally cannot be modified or canceled because market makers must execute market orders promptly at the price prevailing when the order reaches them. Market orders will generally already have been executed by the time any instructions to modify or cancel are received. Remember, not having the report of an execution yet doesn’t mean the order hasn’t executed yet. You can place a request to cancel, but this may be accomplished only under unusual circumstances, such as when a stock stops trading during the day.
- Limit Orders can possibly be modified or canceled if your request is received prior to your order reaching the market. We will make a “best efforts” attempt to either modify or cancel your order. Once an order is executed it cannot be canceled.
