How do I trade when my balance is locked by open orders?

If you’re unable to place an order because of insufficient balance, it’s possible that part of your funds is currently locked. Once these locked funds are released, your available balance can be used normally to place new trades.

What are occupied assets?

When you place an order at a specified price and it isn’t immediately matched in the order book, the order will remain in the order book as a pending order until it’s filled or canceled. A pending order refers to an order that hasn’t been executed yet. The funds allocated to pending orders will be locked and can’t be used to place new trades. You can view and manage your pending orders under Open Orders.

How to release locked assets?

If your funds are locked by pending orders and you want to trade other cryptocurrencies but don’t have enough available balance, you can release the locked funds before placing a new order.

Go to Open Orders, select the order you want to cancel, and click Cancel to release the locked funds. Once released, the funds will be returned to your Trading Account and can be used to place new orders immediately.
