Does OrderType() keep returning pending[buy|sell] or start returning OP_[BUY|SELL] after pending order goes to market order status ? as seen in Terminal >Trade tab
well... guess finally answered my own question... :o))
How do I find out if a pending order has progressed to become a open order

I have noticed that when the Pending order is activated and becomes market order that the order type listed is buy or sell.
My question is this:
If OrderType() returns type P when the order is still Pending ie, not activated/gone to market order, what does OrderType() return when Pending order type goes to market ?
I would expect that type P would still be returned but...
Also, if order type P remains when order goes to market, I'm assuming only way to know that order is actually market order is to check OrderProfit() != 0.0, which one could then see as an order state change of TYPE_PENDING --> TYPE_ACTIVE_PENDING (if using some #define's etc.)
Basically, Terminal > Trade tab may well show the transition from pending --> market order
BUT does OrderType() do the same and return OP_BUY or OP_SELL or keep returning order type used in OrderSend() eg: OP_BUYSTOP ???
Thanks In Advance ;-)
