Order State Question

[ChazJ]

Hi,

I run my Strategy and eventually an order is placed and filled. The strategy then automatically submits a stop-loss order. This order is submitted and, according to the Prints I have in the code, eventually reach an OrderState of 'Accepted', but never reaches a 'Working' Orderstate.

This is the order submission I use:

MyStopOrder = SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.Sell, OrderType.StopMarket, Position.Quantity, <SomePrice>, <SomePrice>, "", "STC");


What would cause this to happen? Why would an order be accepted but never reach a 'Working' state?

Thanks,

Charlie

Hello Charlie, thank you for your post.

The state transition will be: Submit -> Accept -> Working -> Filled. Your broker will have more information on the states the order transitioned through and where the order is when a state transition occurs. The transition from accepted to working is something a broker's servers would control.

Please let me know if I can assist with any thing else.
