# Understanding Order Status Labels

Every order you place moves through a status as it's processed. This article explains what each status means and where to find your order history.

### **Where to Find Your Orders**

The Trades panel at the bottom of the screen includes two relevant tabs:

- **Orders**: Shows orders that are still active, such as limit and stop orders waiting to be filled.
- **Orders History**: Shows a full record of your past orders, which you can filter by status, side, symbol, and date range.

### **Order Status Labels**

- **Working**: The order is active and waiting to be filled. This applies to limit and stop orders that haven't been triggered or filled yet.
- **Filled**: The order was completed at the specified level.
- **Canceled**: You canceled the order before it was filled.
- **Rejected**: The order wasn't able to be completed. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as invalid pricing or insufficient margin.
- **Expired**: The order reached the end of its duration without being filled. For example, a Day order that wasn't filled by the end of the trading session.
