parts of code not initialized and not executed because self_order_refs is not updated

[rumcode]

In the itch50_market_processor.py you have code in multiple methods that have the following code:
if message.order_ref not in self._order_refs:
return

self.order.refs is initialized, but always seems to be empty. Hence large portions of code is never executed. When an add order message occurs, is the message.order_ref supposed to be added to self._order_refs? And then deleted when the order is filled or cancelled?

[rumcode]

I think this might be causing the limit order book not to be updated and hence the minute by minute output for the limit orderbook is incorrect. I was using "12302019.NASDAQ_ITCH50.gz" and the output the minute by minute order book demo.

This is greatly appreciated. I was adding my own fixes, but I don't know the code as will as you do so it was hard to tell if there were any side effects. Thank you.

No worries. Let me know how it goes; I'm a bit stretched for time these days, so I didn't have time to test it as much as I'd like, but I think it should work fine now.
