Pending order questions

[[Deleted]]

When an order type OP_BUYSTOP is executed, does it then become a OP_BUY or does it remain an OP_BUYSTOP until it is stopped?

Hey

after an order is executed it becomes one of the market order types - OP_BUY or OP_SELL. So to answer your question - yes, it will become OP_BUY

thank you

Thanks Automated,

I have been trying to determine how know when a pending order is opened within an ea. The change in OrderType gives me a way to make that determination.

Thanks again.

A pending order is not opened within an ea. it is opened when the price hits the stop/limit. Once a pending order is placed an EA can only modify it or delete it.
