Order Groups

Order groups provide automatic order cancellation when a contracts limit is reached within a rolling 15-second window. When an order group is triggered, all resting orders in that group are canceled and no new orders can be placed until the group is reset.

​

How It Works

1. Create a group with a contracts limit (1–1,000,000). The server generates the group ID and returns it in the response.
2. Place orders with the group’s ID. Each order is tracked against the group.
3. As orders execute, filled contract counts accumulate within a rolling 15-second window.
4. If the rolling total exceeds the limit, the group is triggered: all resting orders in the group are canceled.

​

Group States

A group enters the triggered state when:

• The rolling 15-second volume exceeds the contracts limit
• A manual Trigger action is issued, which cancels all orders regardless of whether the limit has been reached
• The limit is Updated to a value below the current rolling volume

A Reset clears the triggered state and the rolling volume counter, returning the group to active. Delete removes the group entirely and cancels all resting orders in it.

Error Handling

Business-logic errors (e.g. order group not found) are returned as rejects. Refer to the protocol-specific pages for error message formats.
