Stop Limit Order Cancels After 5 Minutes

[timefreedom2000]

Greetings,

My strategy enters a stop limit order at a specified time. After about 5 minutes it is canceled. Does anyone know why this happens or how to remedy this?

Thanks.

timefreedom2000, welcome to our forums - what chart series are you working with here? A 5 min one? It would be expected that non market orders would expire on the bar they were placed on, you can then either resbumit if the entry condition still permits that, or set them to liveUntilCancelled to begin with, so they would only be cancelled by an explicit CancelOrder call from your code or the end of session handling.
