Stop limit orders

[smithy]

I like to enter a Buy order one tick above the High of the first bar that reverses after the price has crossed above an MA line. I use a stop limit order to do this. If I place this manually, all is well as it stays in place until the price penetrates it. However, when I automate this method using the Wizard , the pending order is good only for the next bar. If this bar doesn't penetrate the order price, the order is cancelled (presumably because of OnBarUpdate).

if (Open[0] > Close[0])
{
EnterLongStopLimit(DefaultQuantity, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, High[0] + 1 * TickSize, "");

I am able to set various other conditions using the Wizard, including a condition for cancelling the order. The one thing I can't do, is keep the order in place until I want it cancelled.

Is there a way to do this using the Wizard, or something simple using code?

Hello,


This "cancelling" of working orders is expected behavior. You will have to build a condition that maintains an evaluation to "true" for the duration that you want the order to be working.

Thanks for the prompt. Got it to remain 'true' by resubmitting using previous bar order (1).
