Orders auto placed at the wrong time

[jg123]

Hello

This morning I placed my order via the my automated strategy and it placed the order at the wrong time.

It is only supposed to place the order when the 10:00 candle starts (9:00 AM Computer time, but 10:00 candle time stamp). I set the order at about 8:45 and expected that it would auto place the order when my computer reached 9:0 am

Here is the code that deals with that particular order placement:

			else if (direction == TrendDirection.Down)
			{
				if (ShortEntry == null
				     && ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(endRangeHr,endRangeMin,00) 
				     && ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(removeOrderHr, removeOrderMin,0)
				     && restrictTrade == false)
				{
					ShortEntry = EnterShortStop(0, true, positionSize, ShortEntryPrice, "BreakoutShort");
				}

Here is the Properties section for the user defined input that would deal with this also:

        [Description("Range End Hour")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
		[Gui.Design.DisplayName("2 End Range Hr")]
        public int EndRangeHr
        {
            get { return endRangeHr; }
            set { endRangeHr = value; }
        }

Attached also are two screenshots. One is a screenshot of the strategy in the Strategies Tab showing how I had it set and the second one is the actual Edit Strategies window showing how it is set.

I can not find any reason why this would have set the order prior to the 10:00 Candle (9:00 Computer time). Can you please see if you can find a possibility and let me know.

Thank you!

jg123, I don't see a reason from the info presented but it would not be enough to make any conclusions, whenever something that appears debug prints would come in very handy to understand which values / states your variable had that effected the trigger of the order placement in your code, namely this part :

if (ShortEntry == null
&& ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(endRangeHr,endRangeMin,00)
&& ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(removeOrderHr, removeOrderMin,0)
&& restrictTrade == false)

There must be an item that would differently evaluating this morning from what you expected - you also want to be keeping in mind that NT stamps the bar with their closing times.
