Josh,

I also have a question regarding ChangeOrder. Is ChangeOrder an amend request OR is it a Cancel-New order? Essentially I'd like to know if the change request gets rejected for some reason, will the original order still be active/working?

It is my understanding that rejected amend requests will leave the original order in tact while cancel-new rejections will not. To clarify, these are two types of ChangeOrders, I just want to know how NT has programmed this method 'under the hood', in order to properly protect my positions.

thanks!

It is a change-request not a cancel-new. I believe your understanding is correct, but you may need to test it to be sure we are on the same page. You can just run in a simulator and submit a change that is invalid and see how it behaves.

Unfortunately my tests are showing something different...can i get verification from someone else or from someone at NT regarding this?
Will rejected ChangeOrders result in the original order to be working or not?

Simple question. Any insight?

yes

yes

The answer 'yes' is ambiguous based on the question. Is the answer 'yes, the original order will still be in working status' ? Please clarify.

monpere,

If you have a working order already in working, you send a ChangeOrder, the change is not accepted, you are still left with the original state of working.
