# Get OpenOrders for a User Account

Open orders are pending buy or sell orders that a trader has placed on the platform's perpetual futures market but haven't been filled. We can get openOrders for a particular user Account, by querying the orders field, and checking orders with status "open".

You can directly copy paste this code on <mark style="color:yellow;">replit</mark> and see it in action.
