Shift trade status values

Optimizer provides a list of status values that vary, depending on whether the trade is a request or a match.

Status values for trade requests

The allowed status values for trade requests are:

Canceled

The trade request was canceled by the offering agent.

Note: Trade requests can only be canceled by the offering agent that creates the initial trade request. If the trade is matched to another agent, then the accepting agent can cancel the match and the trade request will be available for selection by another agent.

Denied Request

The trade request and all pending matches were denied, and no other agents will see it.

Expired

A trade request can be assigned an expired status for any of the following reasons:

• The trade request is invalid, and a trade cannot occur within the specified time.

• The trade has an expiration time specified by the offering agent. The trade will expire within one hour of the set expiration time.

• The start time specified by the offering agent occurs in the future time that is less than the number of hours specified for how long in the future to allow trades as specified in the shift trading configuration view.

• None of the possible start times that the offering agent is willing to work is at least the number of hours in the future specified in the schedule trading configuration view.
