Hi Andrei,

I guess you are referring to a FOK or IOC here. In that case you would get 
ExecType=New, OrdStatus=NEW, and then ExecType=Cancel, OrdStatus=Cancel. 

If the order was not an IOC or FOK it could stay in the book. Say that the 
RoundLot is 100 and your order was sent in with OrderQty=1000 and MinQty=500 
and that there was only 400 in the book. IN this case the order can stay in the 
book.

Regards, Bernt
