Opening and closing market orders.

[keith.foecke]

Total newbie question: When you open a buy order, you close it in part or whole when you sell (you can't sell more than you own). (please correct me if I am wrong here).  If your quote currency is USD, doesn't the profit/loss get reconciled to your account when you open a sell order? Or is it stored in a virtual account until the sell ticket is closed?

Can you point me to any good documentation on the life cycle of Buy/Sell orders?

Thanks
