What happens to my pending Limit Close orders when I submit a new one, or my position fully closes?
Pending Limit Close orders on Crypto Futures are always capped so that they can never add up to more than your open position size — this cap is enforced the moment you place an order, not later when it fills. If a new Limit Close you submit would push your total pending closes above your remaining uncommitted quantity, Pluang automatically adjusts the new order's quantity down to exactly what's left, silently and with no notification. If your pending Limit Close orders already add up to your full position, submitting another new Limit Close cancels the earlier pending ones instead — your newest order becomes the only one in effect, since it's treated as your current intent. This cancellation rule only ever applies to Limit Close orders; it never touches your Take Profit or Stop Loss orders. Separately, whenever a position fully closes by any means, all remaining close orders on that contract — Limit Close orders and TP/SL alike — are automatically cancelled, which is existing behavior unrelated to Partial Position Closure.
- Placement-time cap: the position-quantity limit on pending Limit Close orders is checked when you submit, so an over-committed order is prevented up front rather than trimmed later when it would otherwise fill.
- Silent auto-adjustment: if a new Limit Close would exceed the remaining uncommitted quantity, it's reduced to that remaining amount automatically — for example, on a 1 BTC position with 0.4 BTC already pending, a new 0.8 BTC Limit Close request is adjusted down to 0.6 BTC. There's no toast, screen, or inline message when this happens; the adjusted quantity only shows up in your order record.
- Latest-intent cancellation: once pending Limit Close orders already cover 100% of your position, a further new Limit Close cancels the earlier pending ones and becomes the sole active order — this keeps you from having conflicting closes stacked on the same position.
- TP/SL are unaffected by the two rules above: neither the silent auto-adjust nor the latest-intent cancellation ever touches your Take Profit or Stop Loss orders — those follow their own separate rules.
- Full-close cleanup is broader: when a position actually reaches zero — whether from a Market Close, a filled Limit Close, or a TP/SL execution — every remaining close order on that contract is cancelled, including TP/SL. This is unchanged, pre-existing behavior.
Related questions:
Q: Will I be notified if my pending Limit Close quantity gets auto-adjusted?
No — the adjustment happens silently by design, with no toast, pop-up, or inline message. You can see the adjusted quantity by checking the order in your order history, but nothing is shown to you at the moment it happens.
Q: Why was my earlier Limit Close order cancelled after I placed a new one?
This only happens once your pending Limit Close orders already cover your entire position — placing another new Limit Close at that point cancels the earlier pending ones and takes over as your current intent, since Pluang treats your latest submission as what you actually want to happen.
Q: Does this cancellation rule ever affect my Take Profit or Stop Loss orders?
No — the auto-adjust and latest-intent cancellation rules for pending Limit Close orders are scoped to Limit Close orders only and never cancel or resize your TP/SL orders.
Q: What happens to my remaining Limit Close and TP/SL orders once my position is fully closed?
All of them are automatically cancelled for that contract, regardless of whether the full close happened via a Market Close, a filled Limit Close, or a TP/SL hitting — this is existing behavior that applies the same way it always has.
