Example: You have 27 orders in mixed states: pending acknowledgement, open, filled, unfilled, canceled, rejected, etc... They may also be from different asset classes: equities, options, futures, etc.
What is this hodgepodge collection of all orders called?
- A book? that's what an exchange keeps
- A portfolio? that's a set of owned positions: long, short, etc.
- A blotter? That the record of all daily activity.
To make an analogy, think of an online shopping cart. There's lots of stuff in there, but the items are in all different states. Some items may be sold out, some unavailable, others on layaway. This analogy would also include items in transit: some shipping, some arrived, etc..
What is this "cart"-like thing called in the trading world?
