# No place while unconfirmed fill

Do not let the agent place a new order while a prior fill, cancel, or flat is still unconfirmed in the broker UI — wait for venue truth before the next place. Pair with confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat, one-cancel-one-confirm, no-chase-after-partial-fill, one-order-per-idea-until-fill, never-skip-review-before-place, confirm-buying-power-before-place. Agent Lane does not place trades, hold wallets, or invent broker UI.

## Answer first

Before the next live place: if this session still has a prior fill, cancel, or flat that is only claimed in chat — not yet visible in the broker UI — do not place. Wait for venue truth. Chat lag and agent optimism are not confirmation.

## No place while unconfirmed fill in plain terms

1. **Venue truth first** — fill, cancel, or flat must show in the broker UI before the next place.
2. **Chat is not confirmation** — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md); [confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md).
3. **One cancel → one confirm** — [one-cancel-one-confirm.md](./one-cancel-one-confirm.md).
4. **Block the next place** while any prior lifecycle event from this session is still unconfirmed.
5. **Distinct from one-order-per-idea** — [one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md](./one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md) is the one-working-order rule; this page is the wait-for-venue-truth sequencing gate before any next place.

## Why placing on unconfirmed state is the failure mode

- **“Filled” in chat, still working in broker** — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md), [one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md](./one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md).
- **“Cancelled” in chat, still live** — [one-cancel-one-confirm.md](./one-cancel-one-confirm.md), [confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md).
- **“Flat” claimed, position still open** — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md).
- **Partial fill + immediate new place** — [no-chase-after-partial-fill.md](./no-chase-after-partial-fill.md).
- **Buying power math from chat** — [confirm-buying-power-before-place.md](./confirm-buying-power-before-place.md).

## Shield stack

1. [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md) — human gate before any live place.
2. [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md) — venue truth for fills and balances.
3. [confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md) / [one-cancel-one-confirm.md](./one-cancel-one-confirm.md) — cancel/flat cadence.
4. No place while unconfirmed fill (this page) — block the next place until prior fill/cancel/flat is confirmed in the broker UI.
5. [one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md](./one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md) — at most one working ticket per thesis.
6. [no-chase-after-partial-fill.md](./no-chase-after-partial-fill.md) — remainder rules after a partial.
7. [confirm-buying-power-before-place.md](./confirm-buying-power-before-place.md) — cash/BP from broker UI before the next place.
8. [journal-every-override.md](./journal-every-override.md) — write every place that fired while a prior event was still unconfirmed.

## How to run no place while unconfirmed fill

1. Note the prior claim — what filled, cancelled, or flattened?
2. Open the broker UI — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md), [confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md).
3. Block the next place while unconfirmed — [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md).
4. Confirm venue truth — [one-cancel-one-confirm.md](./one-cancel-one-confirm.md).
5. Then review the next place — [confirm-buying-power-before-place.md](./confirm-buying-power-before-place.md), [one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md](./one-order-per-idea-until-fill.md), [no-chase-after-partial-fill.md](./no-chase-after-partial-fill.md).
6. Journal overrides; revoke if misfired — [journal-every-override.md](./journal-every-override.md), [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md).

## Practical checklist

- Prior fill/cancel/flat noted from this session.
- Broker UI checked — claim visible or not.
- Unconfirmed → no next place at review.
- Venue truth confirmed before authorizing the next order.
- Cancel cadence — one cancel, one confirm.
- Partial remainder follows no-chase rules, not an immediate new ticket.
- Buying power from broker UI before the next place.
- One working order per thesis still applies after confirmation.
- Overrides journaled if anyone placed while unconfirmed.
- Official paths only — no invented broker UI.

## FAQ

**What does no place while unconfirmed fill mean?**
Do not let the agent place a new order while a prior fill, cancel, or flat is still unconfirmed in the broker UI — wait for venue truth before the next place. Pair with confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat, one-cancel-one-confirm, no-chase-after-partial-fill, one-order-per-idea-until-fill, never-skip-review-before-place, confirm-buying-power-before-place.

**How is this different from confirm fills in the broker, not chat?**
Confirm fills is the general venue-truth rule. This page is the sequencing gate: while confirmation is still pending, do not authorize the next place.

**Do I invent a confirmation UI?**
No. Official venue screens and your written rule. Agent Lane does not invent UI or place trades for you.
