# Open Orders

## \*This is not financial advice\* 

![](/files/-MgDtJixojl3qg9f_ZVc)

**Brown Box** - View your history of executed orders for your selected token pair.

**Red Box** - Your "ask" order (or your "sell" order).

**Green Box** - Your "bid" order (or your "buy" order).

**Pink Box** - The price you have your bids set for

**Blue Box** - The token you are bidding. 

**Yellow Box** - Cancel any order as long as it has not been filled.

When placing limit orders in the market, "buying and selling" is referred to as "bid and ask". When you "bid" a token at a specific price, you are "asking" to receive that tokens pair in the market pair you have selected.

Because this is the TLM/WAX pair, you are "bidding" WAX and "asking" for TLM in return (see the blue box in the **bid (green box)** row.

 But when you want to "sell" your TLM, you are then "bidding" TLM and "asking" for wax in return. (see the blue box lined up the **ask (red box)** row. 

This can get confusing because the wording can be switched around depending on if you are looking at it from front to back or back to front.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.alcor.exchange/main-page-overview/markets/market-exchange/order-history.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
