What Is a “Suspended” Order Status?
The Suspended status in TradersPost typically comes from Tradeovate, one of the brokers integrated with the platform. According to Tradeovate’s documentation, an order marked as Suspended is contingent on a specific event occurring before it will be sent to the exchange and updated to Working status.
This status can appear in certain order types, including:
• One-Cancels-the-Other (OCO) Orders – The order is waiting for one leg to be triggered.
• Time-Release Orders – The order is scheduled to activate at a specific time.
• Good-Til-Canceled (GTC) Orders – The order remains suspended between trading sessions until eligible for execution.
Why Does an Order Get Suspended?
A Suspended order may be waiting for:
• The market to reopen after a session close.
• A condition to be met before execution.
• A related order in an OCO pair to be triggered.
For example, if a trader places an OCO order with a stop-loss and a take-profit, the suspended status may apply until one leg of the trade is activated.
How to Handle Suspended Orders
If an order remains suspended longer than expected, traders should:
• Check if the order is tied to another pending trade.
• Verify if market hours or a session cutoff is causing the delay.
• Contact Tradeovate support for further clarification.
Conclusion
A Suspended order in TradersPost, particularly from Tradeovate, means the trade is waiting for a condition to be met before execution. This is common in OCO, time-release, and GTC orders. Traders concerned about a suspended order should check their trade conditions or reach out to Tradeovate for more details.
