Why Pre-Market Order Queries May Return No Information

Summary

This platform support note addresses why an order query may return no information in a pre-market handler even though it can return information after the market session. The question concerns using existing orders to build a process that cancels orders at the price limit. The reply says that, in live trading, this operation must be handled using real-time data.

The note offers no code, detailed explanation of the handler lifecycle, or alternative implementation steps. It does not clarify whether the behavior is specific to a platform configuration or how orders become visible to the query. Treat the answer as a narrow operational constraint reported for this platform, not a general rule for all trading systems.

Key ideas

• The note reports that an order query may return no information in a pre-market handler.
• It says the query can return information in a post-market handler, but that timing does not support the described cancellation task.
• The reply points to real-time data as the way to handle this operation in live trading.
