| Field    | Type    | Description                             |
| -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `'code'` | integer | Status code                             |
| `'data'` | object  | Contains information about placed order |
| `'I'`    | string  | CLOID (if original order contained one) |
| `'i'`    | integer | New order ID                            |
| `'s'`    | string  | Symbol                                  |
| `'id'`   | string  | Client-defined request ID               |
| `'t'`    | integer | Timestamp in milliseconds               |
| `'type'` | string  | Specifies action type                   |

**Notes:** Editing an order cancels the original and creates a new one. The new order maintains the same side, reduce-only status, and client\_order\_id (if provided), is created with TIF = ALO (Post Only), and receives a new system-assigned order\_id.\
\
Edit order is not subject to the taker speedbump.
