Cancel Limit Order at particular time

[m3power222]

Trying to cancel a limit order by 9am. From what I see it doesn't know what to cancel...

if (orderId.Length == 0 && atmStrategyId.Length == 0 && Close[0] > Open[0])
{
atmStrategyId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
orderId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
AtmStrategyCreate(Action.Buy, OrderType.Limit, Low[0], 0, TimeInForce.Day, orderId, "AtmStrategyTemplate", atmStrategyId);
}

// If 9:00AM and the order has not been filled, cancel the entry order
if (CurrentBar == ToTime(09, 00, 00))
{
CancelOrder(Limit);
}

Please use AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder() for this - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...egyActive.html

So if the ordered was filled will it cancel that? I only want it canceled if it was never filled.

Not sure I follow - if the order was filled, then there's nothing to cancel, only to 'close'. This will cancel placed entry orders generated by the AtmStrategyCreate().

Ahh got it thanks Bertrand.

Tried it but would not cancel the order...

// If 9:00AM and the order has not been filled, cancel the entry order
if (CurrentBar == ToTime(09, 00, 00))
{
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder("orderId");
}

CurrentBar represents the bar count, so unfortunately it would not work comparing to time stamp values this way, please try this -

 
if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 090000)
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder("orderId");

Nope didn't work... Does it not know how to find orderId?

I made sure I recompiled.

Don't use the quotes. Your string is the orderId variable.

Thank you that worked.

How would I get the bool's to go to false only if there was a ATMStratCancelEntryOrder?

If the trade wasn't filled by 9am it cancels and I don't want to take any more trades.

But if there was nothing to cancel at 9am I'd still want to take a trade so wouldn't want the bool's to go to false as entry logic is looking for true to place a trade.


private bool entrylong = true;
private bool entryshort = true;

// If 9:00AM and the order has not been filled, cancel the entry order
if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 090000)
{
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder(orderId);
entrylong = false;
entryshort = false;
}

Hi, you can check the ATM Entry order state with GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus() - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...derStatus.html

Then set your bools according to if an order is placed and potentially cancelled or not and you want to take a trade after 9:00

Getting an error with:

// If 9:00AM and the order has not been filled, cancel the entry order
if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 090000
&& GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus("orderId") > 0)
{
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder(orderId);
entrylong = false;
entryshort = false;
}

Please retry again without the quotes for your first orderId.

Please retry again without the quotes for your first orderId.

Now the error is: Operator > cannot be applied to operands of type string and int.

What about this?

// If 9:00AM and the order has not been filled, cancel the entry order
if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 090000
&& orderId.Length > 0)
{
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder(orderId);
entrylong = false;
entryshort = false;
}
