Pending order

A pending order is an order that has been placed but has not yet been executed or cancelled.

Approved short definition: An order waiting to be executed or cancelled. Example: You can check the Orders tab to see whether your order is still pending. Do not use: Do not use “pending order” as a synonym for limit order or out-of-hours order. These are reasons an order may be pending, not the order status itself. Do not promise that a pending order can always be cancelled.
