place a market oder when the market opens

[cmach123]

I want a code to place an order long at a specified time, and then close the order when profit target reaches 1 point.

This is what I have, it's probably entirely incorrect, but I tried.

Hello cmach123,

Thank you for your post.

The following in unecessary if your ATM Strategy already uses a 1 Point Profit Target.

protected override void Initialize()
// Submits a profit target order 4 ticks away from the avg entry price
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks,4;
}
