Hi,
ORDER_STATE_REJECTED does for sure apply to TRADE_ACTION_DEAL (sending a market order using OrderSend()) and TRADE_ACTION_PENDING (sending a pending order using OrderSend()), but how about the other ENUM_TRADE_REQUEST_ACTIONS values?
I assume that it doesn't apply to TRADE_ACTION_SLTP, as it is an operation purely related to existing position - and indeed, after SL/TP modification, the OnTradeTransaction() event handler catches 2 events - TRADE_TRANSACTION_POSITION and TRADE_TRANSACTION_REQUEST, but no trade transaction events related to orders.
But how about TRADE_ACTION_MODIFY, TRADE_ACTION_REMOVE, TRADE_ACTION_CLOSE_BY? I assume it doesn't apply to these 3 as well, as these actions are related either to an order that has already been accepted by the broker ( ORDER_STATE_PLACED) and is now being either modified or removed, or (in a 3rd case) to a request to close an existing position with another existing posistion - which doesn't require sending additional orders (despite it is related to ORDER_TYPE_CLOSE_BY order in the history orders database - but when you close a position by another one using OrderSend(), you do not specify any order-related data, but 2 position tickets).
Logically it also seems that given the available ENUM_ORDER_STATE values, first the order is started (ORDER_STATE_STARTED), than it can change its state to ORDER_STATE_PLACED or ORDER_STATE_REJECTED, and if it not rejected - it can move from a placed order into 4 remaining states. So ORDER_STATE_REJECTED could only happen after ORDER_STATE_STARTED.
After performing few different transactions and listening to TradeTransaction events, it also seems logical to me that the ORDER_STATE_REJECTED could happen only for TRADE_ACTION_DEAL and TRADE_ACTION_PENDING - as sending market or pending orders and SL/TP triggering were the only 3 cases in which I have observed ORDER_STATE_STARTED - and SL/TP triggering doesn't happen as a result of a any of ENUM_TRADE_REQUEST_ACTION, but as a result of market price reaching SL/TP on an existing position.
Any thoughts/comments anyone?
