Send order at specific time

[AlexFdv]

Hello Support,

I looked through threads and didn't find answer for my question. How to send order at specific time (and cancel order at specific time too if it is not filled)?
I'm using:

Unmanaged = true;
CalculateOnBarClose = false; (for my trailing stop)

And:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
...
    if (((ToTime(Time[0]) >= StartTime) && (ToTime(Time[0]) < EndTime)))
    {
        Print("Send orders");
        SendEntryOrders();
        _bAllowTrading = false;
     }
...
}

So, as I understand, if there is no any ticks during some period of time, I don't catch onBarUpdate callback and at this case I miss my time to send orders.
Please advice how to make it better.

Thank you for detailed answer in advance.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Hello AlexFdv,

If there is no data incoming, you could use a TriggerCustomEvent() to help manage your orders by a set time frame instead of having to wait the next tick. For a reference sample please view the following link.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Great, thanks.
One more: Is it possible at this case use backtesting? Will it process correctly?

Thank you.

Hello AlexFdv,

Unfortunately, you would not be able to use it in a backtest since it is based on your local PC clock to check the time to trigger the event.
