How to find a specific pending market order?

Hi there, 

Pending orders are only limit, stop and stop limit orders. A market order is not a pending order.

Best regards,

MetaTrader has a way to find orders before they actually become an open position. I need to do the same with cTrader. If I put on several async market orders all at once I need to be able to check if they've been filled otherwise I get duplicates. I don't want to use callbacks. I need to be able to look them up by their custom label. Something like my example:

            foreach(Order order in SomeListOfUnfilledOrders) {           

               if(order.Label == “order123”)
                   return true;        
           }

Then you need to store this information on your side e.g. add market orders in a collection and remove them only after you have received an execution response from the server.
