# Pause Order

The **Pause Orders** feature allows traders to **temporarily stop an in-progress order** without canceling it, providing flexibility to respond to market conditions in real time.

#### **How It Works**

<figure><img src="/files/TUCN7dQw8g3RbLKwkSAu" alt=""><figcaption><p>Execution with Pause Orders</p></figcaption></figure>

1. Click **Pause** on an **active order** to halt execution.
2. The **execution trajectory chart** will display a **gray area** indicating paused periods (see image).
3. When resumed, the order **continues execution based on current market conditions** without attempting to "catch up" to the original schedule.

#### **Limitations**

* **Unavailable for Target Time Orders** – The **Pause function is not supported** for orders using the **Target Time strategy**.
* **Automatic Cancellation** – Orders **paused for more than 24 hours** will be **automatically canceled**.

The **Pause Orders** feature provides traders with **greater execution control**, allowing them to **adjust their strategy** without committing to a full cancellation.
