EnterShortLimit Duration

[edstaffin]

Hi,
How long is EnterShortLimit/EnterLongLimit good for? Can I limit it to be valid for only a certain time frame? Say 3 bars?
Thanks ... Ed

Hello,

Thank you for the question,

If you take a look at the documentation for this located here:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/entershortlimit.htm?zoom_highlightsub=entershortlimit

It shows there is an overload in which controls this

EnterShortLimit(int barsInProgressIndex,[B] bool liveUntilCancelled[/B], int quantity, double limitPrice, string signalName)

Specifically the LiveUntilCancelled part. If you were to set this to true, it will tell the order to be live until it is canceled. Otherwise an order will last 1 bar unless called again in the next OnBarUpdate.

There is some additional information on these types of orders located here:

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

Jesse, in order for bool liveUntilCancelled to work in the line of code you provided, where in the code and in what format liveUntilCancelled=true should be specified?
Thank you

Hello,

I am unsure if I understand your question.

Are you asking what a bool is or are you asking where you would place the true or false statement in between the ( ) ?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thats all right, I figured out myself already, thank you.
