I'm submitting STOP orders for ESM1 on api.openecry.com server.

My orders are being rejected. The "Comments" property of the Order rejection is blank. I believe this field should have the order rejection reason in it, right?

Can you please help me figure out why my Orders are being rejected?

Through email, I've been told that the market for ESM1 is closed, and that is why it was rejected.

That's all well and great, but what I REALLY need to know is: how do I get that rejection reason info? If it's not in the Comments property, where is it?

Hello, you can get the reason in Order.States.Current.Comments

Thanks.

What is Order.Comments for?

(I think the API docs could use some improvement in that respect. It's not clear.)

Orders.Comments can be used by client application. For example, you can place a kind of "client order id", strategy name or originator of order. Please see http://www.openecry.com/api/api/OEC.API.OrderDraft.Comments.html

"Order comments - usually specified a way order was entered"

With all due respect, that's a strangely worded and not terribly clear description. Your post is much clearer, though, so thanks.
