What happens to my limit orders when...

Postby datamonkey » 13 Feb 2014

...my PC crashes or blue-screens?

For example if I am in a trade and have set my TP and SL limits then my PC crashes and I am then unable to manage the trade manually, do my limit and stop orders get cancelled or do they remain? Or does my broker even flatten my position once the feed has been lost to my PC or keep the trade alive?

Fyi, I trade with Amp Futures and Rithmic feed.

Apologies for the noob question but thanks in advance for your help :)

Hello datamonkey,

If your PC crashes or blue-screens then the orders will remain active at broker.
The orders will remain active according to their Time In Force.
I believe the broker will not perform any actions himself, you need to contact him directly to cancel the orders or access your account from MultiCharts or broker platform to manage the orders.
