Order: A stop, limit, or market order which has been placed in the chart but not yet filled. Once filled, the order will be hidden from the screen and the open position will appear at the fill price.

Filled Order: An order which has filled and created or closed an open position. *Note:  Filled orders will be hidden by default, you may show filled orders from the View menu > Hide Filled Orders > uncheck All.
