What's happening here? Pretty sure my algo is legitimately cancelling the order, but it ends up being listed invalid on live algo page as opposed to backtest. Not making a difference in practice but I'd like to understand what's happening.

Hi Petter. There are many reasons why an order can be marked as invalid. Rather than speculating on them please attach a project to review. If you cannot share it publicly please share through the support tab in the IDE.

We have written a simple algorithm in an attempt to reproduce the issue.
In this algorithm, we create a limit order with a target price 1% higher than the current one. As soon as the order is submitted, we cancel it:
02/16/2017 16:58:00 UTC: Submit Order: (1) - OrderId: 1 New Limit order for 100 units of CHTR at limit 326.639 Status: Unprocessed 02/16/2017 16:58:00 OrderID: 1 Symbol: CHTR Status: Submitted BrokerId: 1 02/16/2017 16:58:00 OrderID: 1 Symbol: CHTR Status: Submitted 02/16/2017 16:58:00 UTC: Cancel Order: (1) - Status: Unprocessed 02/16/2017 16:58:00 OrderID: 1 Symbol: CHTR Status: CancelPending 02/16/2017 16:58:00 OrderID: 1 Symbol: CHTR Status: Canceled BrokerId: 1 02/16/2017 16:58:00 OrderID: 1 Symbol: CHTR Status: CanceledThe last state of the order is "Canceled" which is also shown in the Live Algorithm Orders tab.

Hi Alex,
thank you for your illustration of a case where one ends up in cancelled state, I will try it out on IB paper trading soon.
I'll try to create an isolated test project for what happened in my case. I've been rewriting my order execution code past day so I'm not sure it's going to happen as frequently as previously, might take some time therefore.
