From examining the data, I have noticed that the same OrderID was reused for different orders. Ofcourse the orders never overlapped. Is that true?

OrderIDs will appear multiple times if the order has been sliced. For example, if a 1000 share buy order comes in and is bought from 5 different sellers, the OrderID is still the same becasue it is all from the same order, despite it being executed in increments.

OrderIDs will not be repeated in a single day, but they can be reused from day to day.
