Orders and executions

Understand your orders and executions using the Questrade Edge Mobile app.

The Orders page is where you’re able to view your open and executed orders for your account(s). You can also see your live streaming balances at a glance which makes it easy to access all the information you need in real time.

These pages will contain detailed information about your trades, and also give you quick access to modify or cancel an order that has not executed yet.

1. Switch between viewing the orders for All accounts, or view a specific account.

   • Swipe left or right to scroll through viewing accounts individually or combined.

2. Choose which currency your balances are shown in, toggle between Combined in CAD or Combined in USD.

3. Your various account balances are visible at the top, tap the See all balances button to view more detailed information.

• For more details about executions past 30 days, you can also view your trade confirmations (opens in a new tab) for up to 7 years.

The function buttons above your orders also unlock more customization options:

• The left button with the grid toggles between a simplified view of your orders, or a more detailed view with additional, customizable columns of information.

• The 3 dots button on the right brings up a menu with options to Sort your view, or enter a full screen landscape view.

  • If you have the more detailed view turned on, this menu also allows you to add or remove additional columns of information.

You can also rotate your phone to landscape to take advantage of the extra screen real estate to view more detailed information.

Let’s take a closer look at how your orders are displayed (in the simplified view):

• At the top left, you’ll see the ticker symbol of the security, along with the action (Buy or Sell).

• You can also see how many shares are in the order, and the order type that was used.

  • Learn more about different order types in this lesson

  • If you used a Limit order, you’ll also see your limit price.

  • The date and time your order was placed is also visible here.

The order status is also visible at the top right, learn more about order statuses in this article.

Lastly, if an order has not been executed yet, you’re able to edit or cancel using the pencil, or trash can icons.
