Maintaining limit orders

[MasterSepp]

Hi

I've got a problem. A part of my current code looks like this:

if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(17, 05, 0)
&& ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(22, 15, 0)
&& Close[X] > Open[X]
&& Close[X] - Open[X] > 1

&& Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Short
&& ToTime(Time[0]) % 500 == 0)
{
EnterShortLimit(DefaultQuantity, X, "");
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Price,plus());
}

The X things don't have to matter for now. I'm working with 10 second bars, so this means, every 5 minutes, there shall be a check, if I enter short. So long, so good.
Now I have observed, that - if the order haven't got filled until the open of the next 10 seconds bar - the order gets cancelled.
Now I wanted to ask, how it is possible, to maintain the order. My aim is, that every 5 minutes, there shall be a limit order, which stays until the next 5 minutes have begun. Can you follow me? So the order should get filled anywhen between these 5 minutes, but with the parameters set at the beginning of the 5 minutes - I hope you know what I mean.
If necessary: I've set on "Calculate on bar close = true" during realtime simulation. Perhaps this has something to do with it.

Best Regards,

Sepp,

Use the signature with liveUntilCancelled = true to keep the order alive.

Thank you, that was what I was looking for!

Is there a possibility, to keep the order alive, but only for a certain time? For example, after 5 minutes, cancel all orders? What's the command for this?

You would have to self-code this.
