Entering a Market Order if a previous Limit Order does not get filled

09-04-2022, 11:11 PM

I'm interested in a code snippet to do the following.

I enter a limit order to open. But if that order is not filled by the next bar, I want to enter a market order to open.

Regards,
R. C.

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
