When VeighNa’s Offset Converter Applies to Stocks

Summary

This brief forum exchange asks whether VeighNa’s OffsetConverter, which splits futures orders by opening, closing, and closing-today offsets, also affects stock orders. The questioner notes that the order management engine appears to update the converter when positions, orders, and trades arrive, prompting uncertainty about whether the behavior is asset-specific.

A respondent says the converter does not apply to stocks because lower-level filtering checks contract properties. The exchange offers a concise implementation clarification, but it does not identify which contract fields drive that filter, show source code, or explain how to confirm behavior in a particular version. It contains no trading strategy or empirical results, and the short answer should be treated as a pointer to contract-based filtering rather than a complete account of order conversion behavior.

Key ideas

• Offset conversion is described as relevant to futures order offsets such as open, close, and close-today.
• The forum response says stocks are excluded through filtering based on contract attributes.
• The exchange does not name the specific contract fields or show the filtering implementation.
• The answer is a brief software behavior clarification, not a trading strategy or performance analysis.
