The DeepCharts Orders window lists every order sent from the platform: broker, account, symbol, time, status, type, quantities and fill price. All it needs is a connected trading account. This tutorial shows how to open it, read each column, filter by broker and status, and use it at the end of the session to spot an order that is still working.
- A trading account connected in DeepCharts (SIM, prop firm or live account)
Step by step
- 01
Open the window from the Trading menu
In the DeepChart menu bar, click Trading then Show Orders. The Orders window opens on its own: you can park it on a second monitor and keep an eye on your orders without covering the chart. The same menu leads to Strategy Report, Show Portfolio and Trade Copier.
The DeepChart Trading menu open, with the Show Orders entry highlighted.© DeepCharts - 02
Read the columns
Each row is one order. Broker and Acc. tell you where it went, Symbol and Time which contract and when. Status gives its state (Filled for an executed order), Type its kind (Market, Limit, Stop…). Tot. Qty and Filled Qty compare the quantity requested with the quantity actually filled, positive for buys and negative for sells: a gap between them means a partial fill. Price and Fill. Price compare the order price with the price you got, which shows the slippage on a market order. Comm. shows the commission.

Filter by Broker and Status
At the top of the window, the Broker list isolates one broker when several are connected, say the SIM account and a prop firm account. The Status list filters by order state: the help center mentions placed, executed and cancelled orders, and All brings everything back. After a busy ES or NQ session, filtering on cancelled orders helps you find what was pulled, including OCO exits cancelled automatically when the other exit filled.
- 04
Check for working orders at the end of the session
Before closing the platform, set Status to Submitted. Only orders that were sent but neither filled nor cancelled remain, the ones that could still execute without you. An empty list means nothing is left behind. It matters even more if you run OCO on the Client side: if the platform closes, the one cancels the other logic stops, and an orphan stop or target can stay at the broker.

⚠ Traps to avoid
- Closing DeepCharts without checking Submitted orders. A forgotten limit order can fill at the next open, and on a prop firm that is an unwanted position and sometimes a broken rule.
- Reading a filtered window without noticing. If an order seems to be missing, first check that Broker and Status are both on All.
- Mixing up Price and Fill. Price. On a market order, Fill. Price is what tells you where you actually got in.
