Returns:
When a broker function succeeds it will place a True in the system.orderExists() and when it fails to this property will return a False.

If system.OrderExists() THEN ' Apply Order Detail To Trade Information order.SetRuleLabel( sRuleLabel) ' Apply Order Details To Order Information order.SetOrderReportMessage( sRuleLabel) ENDIF ' s.OrderExists ' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
