Why did my position expire?

• Standard Order: When the price of an asset is highly volatile, it can be difficult for a keeper to fill an order at the ideal market price. In such situations, rather than filling the order at an unfavourable price, the order may expire.

• Limit Order: To be filled, it must remain within the range of the "Trigger Price" and "Limit Price" for a brief period of time. If this range is not reached before the "Limit Order Expiry" period, the order will expire.
