About a sequence of WS messages

Hello,

Assume we have the scenario:
The current position is LONG 10

There is one working order SELL 10 @SomePrice LIMIT

Then several partial fills happens:

1: The time is 0 seconds: SELL 1
The server sends all messages related to this fill/position changes.

2: The time is 10 seconds: SELL 2
The server sends all messages related to this fill/position changes.

3: The time is 20 seconds: SELL 3
The server sends all messages related to this fill/position changes.

4: The time is 30 seconds: SELL 4
The server sends all messages related to this fill/position changes.

The position is FLAT now. The order is filled.
The structure of messages is described here https://docs.ironbeamapi.com/#tag/Streaming/operation/getStream

The question is:

Is the sequence of the WS messages predefined/documented?

For instance:
The server ALWAYS sends the fill, then sends the position update, then sends the balance update.

If the order of WS messages is documented: Where can find the documentation about the ORDER of messages?

If the order of messages is not documented: Is this order the same for all events(fills)?

Thank you!

Hey Borys,

Updates are always provided in the order that they occur. It would be typical that the fill comes first, then position update. Balance updates are independent of fills. Balance updates will come whenever the balance changes, whether that is from a change in market price, position, or otherwise anything else that would update your account balance.
