Total number of open orders not filled or rejected. This property is updated when an order is created, or an active order is rejected.

Syntax:
x = system.totalOpenOrders

Parameter:	Description:
<none>	Property keeps a count of all active and unfilled orders.

Understanding how the two above methods can be used is in system.SetAleternateOrder topic. system.TotalOrders can provide the same information as this property. This system.totalOpenOrders property is kept for backward compatibility, but could be removed from the manual on a later date.
