Description

Expected Behavior
Settings.UnexpectedOrderEventsHandling 
    = UnexpectedOrder.Ignore       # Drop without matching order id.
    = UnexpectedOrder.Merge       # Add asset; accept the fill.
    = UnexpectedOrder.Shutdown # Default

void OnUnexpectedOrderEvent(UnexpectedOrderEvent event);

It could allow users to manually enter with intelligent risk control exits. Or reusing the same UUID in FIX networks.

Actual Behavior

Always shuts down strategy.

Potential Solution

In the fill handling add the additional options above and act based on the setting of the strategy.

Reproducing the Problem

Placing a trade in the OANDA cloud terminal while running a live Oanda algorithm
