Why did this happen?
-
Closing open orders while markets are closed
If you try to close an open order during weekend hours or a trading instrument’s daily break, it will fail to close until the market reopens.
-
Visual bugs and/or connectivity issues
A visual bug or connectivity issues could make it appear like an open order will not close.
-
One-click trading preferences
If you are used to trading with this preference, you may expect an order to close instantly.
-
Hedged orders
Hedged orders can prevent an order from closing due to high-margin requirements. When one side of a hedged order is closed, the remaining order may be treated as a newly opened order. When the margin requirement for the remaining order is recalculated, it may prevent closure due to insufficient free margin available
