Order statuses - MagicMarkets

In the interface

Status	Meaning
Filling	Live on the book and working. None or part of it has matched so far
Filled	Fully matched. You hold the position
Partial	Finished with part of it matched. You hold a position for the matched part
Completed	The event has settled and the result is in your balance
Not filled	Finished with no match, for example a limit order that reached its expiration, or an event that started or finished before the order matched. No funds were committed
Cancelled	The order was cancelled before it matched
Partial void	Part of the matched position was voided under the settlement rules. Those funds were returned
Void	The market was voided after matching. Committed funds returned

Filled is not settled

Filled means your order found a counterparty and you now hold a position. Settled means the event finished, the outcome was verified, and money moved. Between the two you hold an open position with unrealised profit and loss. The figure moves with the market. It becomes real when the market settles, or when you close the position yourself.

Void markets

A void returns committed funds. Nobody wins and nobody loses. It happens when an event is abandoned, or when the conditions a market depends on do not occur. What counts as a void is defined per sport in the settlement rules, not decided case by case.

On the API

The API reports the same orders with its own status names and fields. See Concepts.
