 === Unfilled Strategy Order Replacement ===
-There 2 checkboxes in this sections. If they are checked:
+With the help of these options one can have unexecuted entry/exit price orders converted into market orders when the specified timeout is exceeded or upon bar close.
-# The first one converts unexecuted limit/stop only entry orders to market orders after X seconds.
+The timer is launched depending on the option “Get realtime data from”:
-# The second one converts unexecuted limit/stop only exit orders to market orders after X seconds.
+* when set to “Broker”, the timer starts when the price at the broker touches the order’s price;
-<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': If one of the described boxes is checked,  then an entry/exit order maybe converted into a market order almost at once simply because price hit its level, but the order queue is too long and the order fails to be filled. </div>
+* when set to “Chart”, the timer starts when the order price is hit on a chart.
+Operation of these options depends on the [[Signal Settings#Intra-Bar Order Generation|Intra-Bar Order Generation (IOG)]]:
+# IOG disabled - if the timer has started but the bar closed faster than timeout exceeded, then the price order is converted into a market order without waiting for the timeout to exceed;
+#IOG enabled - each new tick is considered to be bar close. If the order’s price is touched and new tick comes in – the price order will be converted into market order at once without waiting for the timeout to exceed.
+<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': If the order price is not hit at broker/chart then the order will not be converted.</div>
