Statuses Of Orders And Trades

 
For Orders

  • New - before you've sent the order to the broker.
  • Open - you've sent the order to the broker.
  • Entered - the order was taken up, and a trade was opened.
  • Cancelled - you cancelled the order before it was taken up.

 
For Trades

  • Open - the trade is currently sitting with your broker. You have the option of moving the stop loss or take profit. Any profit or loss is only a paper profit or loss at this stage.
  • Closed - the trade was closed, or the stop loss was taken out, or take profit hit. The profit or loss is real.

 
Changing the status

You are free to change the status at any time to any value. But it's best to keep the status in sync with the broker.
