| # Managing Pending Orders
When trading, you may need to [delete](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade/pending_change#delete) or modify a [pending order](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade/general_concept/order_types#pending_order) – for example, to set a new trigger price, adjust Stop Loss or Take Profit levels, or change the expiration time.
## Modifying a Pending Order [#](#modify)
You can modify a pending order in several ways:
- Open its context menu in the [Trade](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade#context) tab and tap Modify.
- Select the order on the chart, then [drag its levels](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/chart#manage_orders) to the desired prices. After that, fine-tune the parameters in the [advanced trading dialog](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade/pending_place#extended).
Almost all parameters of a pending order can be modified, just as when [placing](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade/pending_place) it, except for volume. After setting the required parameters, tap Modify.
\| If the order parameters are incorrect, the "Modify" button becomes inactive. \|

## Deleting a Pending Orders [#](#delete)
To delete a pending order, tun the Delete command in its context menu on the [Trade](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade#context) tab.
Pending orders are deleted automatically at the time specified in the [Expiration](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade/pending_place#expiration) field. In the [History](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/history) tab, a deleted pending order is marked as 'Canceled'.
To delete an order directly form the chart, select it, expand the [lower trading menu](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/trade/pending_place#extended), and tap 'Delete'.
