• Do working orders (limit and stop) reserve margin at submission, or only upon fill?
Yes upon submission.

• If any orders reserve margin on submission, which order types are they?
All order types except those orders which are held on the Sierra Chart side before the triggering rules are met.

• If margin is only checked at fill, what happens to other working orders that would exceed margin after one fills—do they stay live and get rejected later, or are they canceled automatically?
Not applicable.
