Submits a configured Tactical order and produces a ticket for lifecycle tracking.

When to use

Use it only after signal, sizing, risk, and margin decisions are complete.

Example

Continue from Margin Check Sufficient to Order, then pass the Order Ticket to Await Order Event.

Submits a configured Tactical order and produces a ticket for lifecycle tracking.

Exercise steps

Change Market to Limit, then configure a limit price.
Inspect Submitted: it means submission, while a later fill is handled by Await Order Event.

In a Tactical graph, let a signal and sizing path determine the instrument, side and quantity. Configure Order's source choices deliberately: a fixed quantity uses its literal field; a computed quantity requires the numeric Quantity data input. A limit or stop variant needs its corresponding price source and value. Route the Sufficient control outcome of Margin Check into Order only after reviewing the estimate. The estimate does not guarantee the later submission.

When Order takes Submitted, connect its Order Ticket data output to Await Order Event and its Submitted control outcome to that continuation. Submitted means an order was accepted for tracking, not that it filled. Keep distinct branches for Denied, Insufficient Margin, and Submit Failed; a downstream Position Monitor belongs after a confirmed filled event, not directly after Submitted. See the Tactical lifecycle example for the complete path.

Common problems

Handle denied, insufficient-margin, and submission-failure outcomes. A submitted ticket is not the same as a completed fill.
