Simulated Stop-Loss

[boaza]

I've recently switched from using real stop-loss to simulated stop-losses using the SetStopLoss() method.
I've noticed a change in the sequence of the order statuses as reflected in OnOrderUpdate(), in real time trading.

Can you please specify the order statuses, the order in which they appear, and how they are related to real events (i.e. order sent, acknowledged etc.).

Thanks,
Boaz

boza,

When using a simulated stop order, you will first see the order go to "Initialized".

This Initialized state tells you that the stop is ready on your PC and will be submitted to your broker as soon as the conditions are met.

Once the order has been sent, you should see it go to "Pending Submit" when is sending the order to your broker. You will next set it go to an "Accepted" state once it has been received by the broker, and at this point the order will either be "Rejected" by your broker or the exchange, or it will be "Working" on their servers, and then "Filled" if applicable.

Where the order actually resides or the state will vary from connection technology. Please check our forum post on order location for more information:
