Open E Cry GAIN Capital supports Native One-Cancels-Others group, however, it is limited to only 2 orders with the same number of contracts. Therefore, MultiCharts emulates OCO group on its end. Simulated OCO-group means that all OCO orders are sent to the broker, price is monitored by MultiCharts and once one of the orders is filled, other orders from this OCO group are cancelled by MultiCharts. When one of the OCO orders is filled MultiCharts sends a command to cancel the second OCO order to broker. Note that the second order may also be filled if price reaches its level before the cancellation is processed by the broker (see [[Trading Risks#OCO Risks-Orders Risk|OCO-Orders Risk]]).
* '''FOK (Fill or Kill Orders); or:''' <br>Specifying that the order must execute immediately and in its entirety, or be canceled.* '''GTC (Good-TillTil-CanceledCancelled); or:''' <br> Order will continue to work within the system and in the marketplace until it executes or is canceled.
'''(ex. Open E Cry/OEC)'''
If you need '''data''' from GAIN Capital data source, make sure you have [[GAIN Capital|'''GAIN Capital data feed''']] set up.

If MultiCharts sends a stop order with the price equal to current market price or better (guaranteed to be executed) it will be rejected by the broker. Therefore, MultiCharts converts such stop orders into market orders.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note: ''' If you manually drag Stop orders to the price equal to current market price or better (guaranteed to be executed), they won’t be converted into market orders. <br/> But if the sent order is modified, i.e. moved to the price equal to current market price or better (guaranteed to be executed), it will be rejected and modification will not be executed. </div>
Stop-Limit orders: if at the moment an order is sent its stop level is met, then it will be converted into market order.
