# Track a pending order (/users/guides/track-a-pending-order)



When your route places an order rather than settling in the transaction you sign, the order
sits on chain until a batcher fills it. **Pending orders** is where you watch it.

Open it from **Pending orders** in the header.

## What each entry shows [#what-each-entry-shows]

**The pair and the venue**, for example the assets you are swapping and the venue holding
the order.

**Age**, counting up from the moment you submitted.

**Quoted minimum and what you paid**, so the promise is next to the commitment.

**How the route settles**, in the same words the quote panel used.

**When it expires.** Before expiry, the entry says how long the order rests for. After
expiry, anyone may cancel it and keep up to the cancellation tip shown, and the rest comes
back to you.

**The transaction hash** of the transaction that placed the order.

## What resting means [#what-resting-means]

The order stays where it is until it is filled, cancelled, or expired. It is not refunded
automatically when the price moves out of range.

The rate is bound by the minimum in the order. Nobody guarantees the timing.

If you do not want to wait, [cancel it](/users/guides/cancel-an-order).

## The list lives in this browser [#the-list-lives-in-this-browser]

<Callout type="info">
  Pending orders are recorded in this browser's local storage. Open the app in another
  browser, another profile, or after clearing site data, and the list is empty.
</Callout>

That is a fact about the list, not about your money. The order itself is on chain and is
unaffected. It keeps resting, a batcher can still fill it, and the funds still come back to
the address the order names when it is cancelled.

**Stop tracking here** removes an entry from this list in this browser. It cancels nothing.
To get funds back you need [Cancel on chain](/users/guides/cancel-an-order).
