Amending in order stock can be a lifesaver for Delaware businesses, simplifying tax obligations and avoiding costly mistakes.
Amending in order stock allows you to correct errors on your initial stock issuance, ensuring accurate and compliant financial records.
For instance, if you issued stock with the wrong par value, amending in order stock allows you to correct this error and maintain compliance with Delaware law.
This can save you from costly penalties and fines down the line.
Modifying Stock
You can modify a pending stock order in three main ways: with the limit line, from the Trade Slider, or from the Orders window. Modifying an order doesn't cancel the old one and submit a new one, but rather changes the existing order.
To modify the limit price of an order, hover the mouse cursor over the Trade Slider limit line for the existing order and drag the limit line to the new price level desired. This will change the limit price of the entire order, moving it to the bottom of the queue for that price interval.
Some things to keep in mind when modifying an order: increasing or decreasing the limit price will move the entire order to the bottom of the queue, while amending the quantity will leave the existing units in the same position in the market.

Cancel Old Product
Modifying an order can have unexpected consequences.
A limit buy order for XYZ stock at 20$ will be canceled and a new order submitted if you modify it to 22$ when it's at the top of the order book.
The order book position is lost when modifying an order, so you'll need to re-establish it.
Brokerage firms may have varying policies regarding order modification, but in this case, the old order is canceled and a new one is submitted.
