Overview
You can view, modify, or cancel a pending limit order or stop order for stocks, options, or crypto in the Wealthsimple app or on web. The steps are the same for every order type, but the prices you can edit depend on the type of order you placed.
Note: You can't modify a bracket order, including its buy order, take-profit, and stop-loss. To change them, cancel and place a new order. You can cancel the take-profit or the stop-loss on its own, or cancel both. If your buy order hasn't filled yet, cancelling it also cancels the take-profit and stop-loss. Learn more in Understanding bracket orders.
Modify a pending order
Please review these considerations before modifying your order:
- You can't modify the duration or account type of your order.
- Changing the quantity or price can affect your order's place in the queue.
- The prices you can edit depend on the order type. For a limit order, you can edit the limit price. For a stop-limit order, you can edit the stop price and the limit price. For a stop-market order, you can edit the stop price but not the quantity.
- For stocks and options, orders modified outside of market hours are queued to execute when the market opens. The cost will reflect the original order cost until we get confirmation from the broker.
- You can't modify a bracket order, including its buy order, take-profit, and stop-loss.
