Orders

Create, cancel, amend, and manage orders

sFOX recommends using our WebSocket API to receive order and/or trade updates where you can stream real-time order and/or trade updates and will avoid rate limits.

Order Types & Algorithms

sFOX offers a wide range of order types and execution algorithms to optimize your order execution. Short descriptions are available in the page linked below. Further details can be found in the sFOX Support Center. Or contact support to speak with an expert.

Order Types

Order Statuses

Orders may have any of the following statuses.

Status	Status Code	Description
Started	100	The order is open and active Filled quantity may be >= 0 Filled quantity is < the order quantity
Cancel Pending	90	The order is in the process of being canceled but cancelation has not been confirmed The order may still receive fills
Canceled	10	The order was successfully canceled Order may have been partially filled prior to cancelation
Done	300	The order was completed and is no longer active Filled quantity = order quantity The order will not receive new fills
