Market orders and pending orders differ
A market signal asks for immediate execution. A pending signal waits for price to reach an entry level, which means expiration and entry rules matter.
Entry ranges need rules
When a signal gives an entry range, the copier should use the user's configured behavior instead of guessing silently.
Expired signals should be clear
If a pending order expires or is skipped, the dashboard should make the reason visible so the user can tune channel settings.
Review pending handling before the message arrives
Check the channel’s pending-order handling and expiry settings, and review market-entry tolerance separately. An entry level away from the current market is not automatically a market-order instruction. Broker support and instrument rules still apply.
Follow the full state transition
A submitted pending order can remain unfilled, be cancelled, expire or become a position. Verify its state with the broker before interpreting a later close or update message. Pausing new entries does not by itself prove that existing pending orders were cancelled.
