Can a US Stock Order Placed via Pocket Be Cancelled Before It Executes?

No, a US Stock order placed through Pocket cannot be cancelled, even if it hasn't yet entered US market trading hours and hasn't executed. This is different from a standalone US Stock order placed without Pocket, where cancellation before execution is possible; buy or sell orders placed as part of a Pocket transaction are treated as final the moment you confirm them. This is an important risk consideration to keep in mind before placing any Pocket order involving US Stocks — because there's no cancel option, you should double-check the assets, quantities, and weighting in your Pocket order before confirming it, rather than assuming you can undo the transaction afterward the way you might with a regular standalone US Stock order. This rule applies specifically to orders placed through Pocket; it does not change how cancellation works for US Stock orders placed outside of Pocket.

• No cancellation window for Pocket orders, unlike standalone US Stock orders which can typically be cancelled before execution.
• Applies even before market hours open — the order is locked in at confirmation, regardless of whether US markets are currently trading.
• Applies to both buy and sell orders placed through a Pocket, not just purchases.
• Think before you confirm — since there's no undo, review your Pocket's asset mix, quantities, and total cost carefully before finalizing the order.

Q: What should I do if I made a mistake in a Pocket order?

Q: Is there any warning shown before I confirm a Pocket order?
