Strategy: Using CancelOrder() method to cancel orders

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

When using NinjaTrader's Enter() and Exit() methods, the default behavior is to automatically expire them at the end of a bar unless they are resubmitted to keep them alive. Sometimes you may want more flexibility in this behavior and wish to submit orders as live-until-cancelled. When orders are submitted as live-until-cancelled, the way to cancel them is by using the CancelOrder() method.

Key concepts in this example:

• Submitting live-until-cancelled entry orders
• Manually cancelling orders
