no edit summary
* '''PlaceMarketOrder''' orders are not displayed in the Strategy Orders Monitor as they do not get through the BackTesting Engine.
* '''Special Orders''' generated by one on the following commands: <br>SetStopLoss <br>SetProfitTarget <br>SetDollarTrailing <br>SetBreakEven <br>SetPercentTrailing <br>the same with *_pt extension
== How different categories of orders are displayed in the Strategy Orders Monitor ==
=== Special Orders ===
Here is an example of how the special orders generated by the '''BreakEven per contract''' strategy are displayed in the Strategy Orders Monitor.
* marketposition = 0 <br> Two orders appear in the table: <br> BreakEven Stop from long entry Activated <br> BreakEven Stop from short entry Activated
* The first entry order is filled, MP=1: <br> Three BreakEven orders appear in the table: <br> BreakEven Stop from long entry '''Activated''' <br> BreakEven Stop from short entry '''Activated''' <br> BreakEven Stop from long entry 1@123.45 Limit = 124.45 '''Pending'''
* The order activation price is reached: <br> BreakEven Stop from long entry '''Activated''' <br> BreakEven Stop from short entry '''Activated''' <br> BreakEven Stop from long entry 1@123.45 Stop = 123.45 '''Working'''
=== Stop-Limit Orders ===
* Before the Stop price is reached Stop-Limit orders are displayed as '''Active Stop-Limit''' orders.
* After the Stop price is reached Stop-Limit orders are displayed as '''Limit''' orders.
* Filled Stop-Limit orders are displayed as '''Limit''' orders.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Regardless of the state of the Stop-Limit order, the Instruction column will display buy xx stop yy limit. All the other columns depend on the state of the order. </div>
== How the orders generated during Auto Trading are displayed in the Strategy Orders Monitors. ==
=== Auto Trading in Asynchronous Mode. ===
In Asynchronous Mode only the orders generated in real-time calculation are displayed.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': During Auto Trading in Asynchronous mode the way orders are displayed is the same as during ForwardTesting, as the orders filled do not go through the BackTesting Engine. </div>
=== Auto Trading in Synchronous Mode ===
* The collection of the generated orders is received from the BackTesting Engine. No orders are displayed in the Active Orders table as they are filled at the broker.
* The Finalized Orders table displays all the orders generated by Auto Trading. <br> <div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Some information in this table may be missing (order cancellation time, initial price, contracts quantity). </div>
* The filled orders displayed in the Strategy Orders Monitor must coincide with the orders displayed on the chart.
