Orders

Orders show broker instructions connected to the selected product and trading account. Use this page to understand what the automation submitted, what the broker accepted, what filled, what was canceled, and what failed or was rejected.

1. Start with the Trading Account Selector

Use the Trading Account Selector first. It controls which product/account data the page displays. If you select a paper account, the Orders page should show paper order activity for that product/account. If you select a live account, the page should show live order activity for that product/account.

This selector helps prevent mixing account views. Always confirm the selected product, account mode, and account label before reading orders, positions, activity, or performance data.

2. What the Orders page is for

The Orders page helps you monitor the broker-side instruction flow. It is not only a trade result page. An order can be submitted, partially filled, fully filled, canceled, rejected, expired, or still open depending on broker response and market conditions.

3. How orders connect to automation

When automation is on, Bismel1 may route eligible actions only after product access, broker readiness, market data, exposure, duplicate-order checks, and strategy conditions pass. If an action is routed, the broker order result should appear in Orders when the account sync updates.

4. Main order fields to watch

• Symbol: the ticker connected to the order.
• Side: buy, sell, close, or another supported action type.
• Status: whether the order is open, filled, partially filled, canceled, rejected, or expired.
• Filled quantity: how much of the order was completed.
• Average fill price: the average price received for the filled part of the order.
• Value: estimated value of the filled quantity.
• Time: when the order event was recorded or synced.
• Account mode: whether the order belongs to paper or live account context.

5. What filled means

Filled means the broker completed all or part of the order. A filled buy can create or add to a position. A filled sell or close can reduce or close a position. Always compare filled orders with Positions and Activity to understand the full account result.

6. What rejected means

Rejected means the broker did not accept the order. Common reasons can include account restrictions, insufficient buying power, symbol availability, market state, invalid order details, or broker-side rules. Bismel1 should show a safe reason when available, but the broker account remains the source of the final order decision.

7. What canceled or expired means

Canceled means the order was stopped before completion. Expired means the order was not completed inside its valid time window. These states do not always mean an error. Review Activity and the broker account context before deciding whether action is needed.

8. Use Orders with Positions and Activity

Orders show broker instructions. Positions show what is open now. Activity shows trade and system events. Use all three pages together when reviewing automation behavior. If an order filled but the position page looks stale, check the sync time and activity records.

9. Common order abbreviations

• Buy: an order intended to open or add to a long position.
• Sell: an order intended to reduce, close, or exit a position depending on context.
• Open: an order that has not fully completed or closed.
• Filled: the broker completed all or part of the order.
• Partial Fill: only part of the order quantity completed.
• Avg Fill: average price for the filled part of the order.
• Qty: quantity of shares or units.
• Notional: dollar value targeted by an order when supported.
• Limit: an order type with a maximum buy price or minimum sell price.
• Market: an order type that seeks execution at the current available market price.
• TIF: time in force, or how long the order can remain active.
• ET: Eastern Time, commonly used for U.S. market timestamps.

10. User responsibility

Bismel1 helps display and organize order data, but you remain responsible for monitoring your broker account, order status, positions, buying power, and trading risk. If order behavior is unclear, pause automation and review the account before continuing.
