Post From: Incomplete exit for CTS server-side OCO

Thank you for the follow-up answers. I'd love to use the "Advanced and lower cost connection model" but I'm using TopstepTrader. I'd love if TopstepTrader SC traders could clear through this lower cost model. I am using CTS at TopstepTrader on the advice of SC engineers, after reading many forum posts, because it's higher-quality than Rithmic (I know CTS has its own problems after re-reading the documentation you just sent).

#1: When I said "risky", I was referring to the word "risk" in SC documentation:
..."So there is some risk with using this option."
Global Trade Settings Windows: Hold Market Order Until Pending Cancel Orders Are Confirmed (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)
I was asking for a "yes" or "no" if the CTS trading service does not give external confirmations that cancelled orders are actually cancelled (SC engineers should know since they made an advanced and lower cost alternative).

#2: Other traders on this board have had their positions limited by CTS risk management (MaxAccountPosition) and an update to the documentation page here might help:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Rejected Market Order When Using Flatten or Reverse Because of Position Limit Exceeded
The documentation clearly lists a problem when NOT using a server-side OCO group, however I am using a server-side OCO group and have trouble, so I'm blaming the CTS external service.

#3: I was asking for a solution. Thank you for the advanced and lower cost alternative. Until I can use that, I guess/hope/think my only other option at TopstepTrader is to let SC manage the OCO (no longer be server-side) OR to possibly use server-side OCO bracket orders (auto-OCO's in CTS terminology), which *I believe* (not 100% positive) get routed (by CTS) directly to the CME (which then handles them fully). I guess that's a questions CTS or TopstepTrader can answer for me.

No need to further reply to me if you are too busy. I thank you for the help you already gave. I'm positive SC is the best trading software.
