Binance Spot order problems: unfilled limits, partial fills, cancels and errors

Find the question behind your next step. Check conditions before submission and confirm status afterwards. All numerical examples are illustrative.

The limit price was reached. Why no fill?

Price, available quantity and queue priority are three different conditions. Check which one is missing.

Is the visible depth enough for this market order?

Use three price levels to estimate covered quantity and identify what cannot be priced from the visible book.

Only part filled. Where did the rest go?

Separate original quantity, cumulative execution and the remainder to avoid a duplicate buy.

Binance minimum order value, step size and tick size: why a valid amount still fails

An order can meet the minimum order value and still fail on quantity step size or price tick size. Work through decimal examples and match each error name to the input it refers to.

The stop triggered. Why do I still hold the asset?

A triggered order still has a limit price. Check what happens when the market moves past that limit or only part of the quantity fills.

I pressed cancel. Can I place the whole order again?

Cancellation affects only the unfilled part, and another fill may happen while the request travels.

GTC, IOC and FOK: same price, different result

Time in force determines how long to wait and what happens when quantity is insufficient.

EXPIRED: did nothing trade, or did the order end?

An expired order may already have filled in part. Check its executed quantity, expiry reason and any other orders still open.

Order history vs trade history: match one order

Connect one order ID with its execution, then check aggregated rows, dates and cancelled remainders.

Bid, ask and last price: units and spread

Read the quote unit, calculate the gap with a stated denominator and separate current quotes from a past trade.

Open orders: why your available balance is lower

Find which open order reserves the balance, what has already been spent and what cancellation can release.

Binance order timeout: check before submitting again

After a timeout, check whether the original order filled. Follow open orders, history and order IDs to avoid buying the same quantity twice.

Binance trading pairs: what BTC/USDT spends and what it delivers

Base asset before the slash, quote asset after it. Read order book units, market orders by amount or by total, ETH/BTC prices and fill records without mixing up which coin is which.

Binance limit price bands: how far buys and sells can go

A limit price too far from the recent average is rejected before it reaches the order book. Using public BTC/USDT and USDC/USDT figures, work out the band for each side and look up your own pair without logging in.

Editing a Binance limit order: new order ID, queue place and balance

The Edit icon under Open Orders changes a limit order's price and amount, but Binance cancels the original and issues a new order ID. What that means for your queue place, why a short balance cancels the order, and how to match both IDs after a partial fill.

Binance Post Only order canceled on submit: your buy price touched the best ask

A Binance limit order with Post Only ticked is canceled whole if it could trade against a resting order at the moment you submit. Using a public BTC/USDT order book, see where a buy or sell can rest, and where the website keeps the option.

Binance won't let you sell your whole balance: the quantity step leaves dust

A Binance Spot sell quantity must be a whole multiple of the pair's minimum amount movement, and buy fees are taken from the coin you receive, so a few decimals are often left over. One ETH/USDT example shows where the dust comes from, then the rules, fee and steps for Small Amount Exchange.

Binance OCO take-profit partly filled and the stop-loss is gone: protecting the rest

Once the limit leg of a sell OCO fills even a little, the stop leg is ended and the remainder rests at the take-profit price with no stop. A 0.5 ETH example shows which three records to check and how to cancel and re-place an OCO for what is left.
