Problems with two time frames

[soyjesus]

Hello, I'm working with two different time frames (5 and 1 minute). I need to put my orders in 5 minutes but it must run in 1 minute. I do it with this code:

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
EnterShortStop(1,true,1,MyEntryPrice,"");
}

...

where 5 minutes is BarsInProgress=0 and 1 minute is BarsInProgress=1.

If I use "false" like the second parameter my order is Accepted and Cancelled inmediately.

If I use "true" like the second parameter I can't cancel my order when the 5 minutes have finished.

Thanks in advance.

Jesus.

soyjesus, if the order is not set to liveUntilCancelled the next OnBarUpdate() call would cancel it - what TraceOrders output do you get when attempting to cancel the order then in your code?

Ok Bertrand, this is the result of the output:

Entered internal SetStopTarget() method: Type=Target FromEntrySignal='' Mode=Ticks Value=30 Currency=0 Simulated=False
Entered internal SetStopTarget() method: Type=Stop FromEntrySignal='' Mode=Price Value=610,8 Currency=0 Simulated=False

So the problem is that my order of new entry don't exist (only the Target and Stop orders).

Before I have used "CancelOrder" when has finished the bar in the main time frame. I can see that whe I call to CancelOrder, I can send a new entry order in the future.

Why?

Is this the complete TraceOrders output you get? Please recheck and if possible post the full one so we can review, thanks

When my entry order is Accepted (but not filled) there isn't any problem. But when the main time frame is finished this is the complete TraceOrders output I get. Not more information is showed with the next bars.

Ok, so how do you attemp the placed order, if it's accepted and working? Do you work with IOrder objects, as this would be needed in the CancelOrder method...because with liveUntilCancelled it would remain working until you 'cancel ordered' it from within your code. It would help if you could post some pseudo code of how you have things laid out.

Ok I will send you the code but now I can't continue for today. I will contact with you the next Monday.

Thanks and have a nice week end!
