I just troubleshooted a feature I built to clear buy limit orders that didn’t trigger during the day of trading. My service was failing because I was I was looking for order.Status == “open”. Instead I should have been looking for order.Status == “new”. Please enumerate all possible status values as constants under alpaca package the same you have alpaca.Buy, alpaca.Gtc, etc.
