2.7.1Order types

The orderType of an FXB.Order can be any of the following members of the FXB.OrderTypes enumeration.

FXB.OrderTypes.	Trades and pending orders
BUY	Open or closed buy trade
SELL	Open or closed sell trade
BUY_LIMIT	Pending or cancelled buy-limit order
SELL_LIMIT	Pending or cancelled sell-limit order
BUY_STOP	Pending or cancelled buy-stop order
SELL_STOP	Pending or cancelled sell-stop order
BUY_STOP_LIMIT	Pending or cancelled buy-stop-limit order (see below)
SELL_STOP_LIMIT	Pending or cancelled sell-stop-limit order (see below)
FXB.OrderTypes.	Credit movements
DEPOSIT	Account deposit
WITHDRAWAL	Account withdrawal
TRANSFER	Internal credit transfer between accounts
COMMISSION	Commission debit or credit
DIVIDEND	Dividend
FINANCING	Financing - rollover/interest/swap
CREDIT	Account credit (typically a temporary incentive by the broker)
INTEREST	Interest payment or charge
TAX	Tax charge
BONUS	Bonus
OTHERCHARGE	Any credit movement not allocated to another category above

These values are numeric. You can reliably test for credit-movement types by looking at orderType >= FXB.OrderTypes.DEPOSIT - though it is more elegant to use the helper FXB.OrderTypes.IsCredit(orderType).

Granularity/accuracy of the subdivision between different types of credit movements depends on the broker platform. Some platforms will report everything as either only a deposit or withdrawal - i.e. a positive or negative movement, with no further detail.

Some platforms report commission and swap against individual orders, using the commission and swap properties, whereas others record these charges as credit movements against the account.

The FXB.OrderTypes enumeration is also used in relation to submitting trading requests, and has additional valid members in that context.

Stop-limit orders are not widely available. The account features indicate whether the account offers them.
