Orders when connection lost

[only1]

hi,

the last days i have some connection problems with zen-fire. (i am located in germany)
I am not sure, maybe it's my internet provider. But i just want to know, when i have my Stop or Limit Order placed and my connections drops, are my orders for sure at the exchange and i don't need to worry anymore? Or could it happen that my orders won't be filled because i've lost my connection? Hope you understand because my english is not the best

Thank you
Regards

Hello only1,

Thank you for your post.

Orders in a state "Accepted" or "Working" are at the exchange. If the exchange does not support a specific order type, the order will be active on the Zen-Fire servers.

OCO (One Cancels Other) functionality is simulated on your local PC.

For information on where your orders reside please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5349

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you. Have i understand correct that an oco Order will not be executed if my connection drops?

Hello only1,

Thank you for your response.

No, the order will still execute if filled however the OneCanclesOther functionality will not work, meaning if your order is filled the associated order will not be cancelled.

For example, an ATM Strategy's Profit Target is filled but the Stop Loss is not cancelled because the OCO functionality is held on your PC and not the exchange or the broker's server.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
