I want to set a sell stop entry order, then add a stop based on the bid. I understand that I cannot do this until the order is opened, so I attempt to wait using a loop:

order = engine.submitOrder(theLabel, theInstrument, OrderCommand.SELLSTOP, tradeSize, entryPrice);
while(order.getState() == State.CREATED) {
                   Thread.sleep(1000);
                    System.out.print(".");
               }
order.setStopLossPrice(entryPrice + offset, OfferSide.BID);

The problem is that the loop never ends (for several minutes at least). I thought the change of state from CREATED to OPENED should be quick? The trade size is small, no problems with the parameters that I can see. Values are rounded to nearest 0.00001 pips using Math.round.

What is wrong?

Here is an example that sets stop loss price after the order has been filled.
Order is checked on each tick.

public void onTick(Instrument instrument, ITick tick) throws JFException {
        if(!instrument.equals(Instrument.EURUSD)){
            return;
        }
        double delta = Instrument.EURUSD.getPipValue();
        if(order != null && order.getState() == IOrder.State.FILLED && order.getStopLossPrice() < delta) {
            order.setStopLossPrice(stopLossPrice);
            console.getOut().println("test");
        }
    }
