cancelling limit order

[brucelevy]

I am having an issue where the strategy will not enable with this line of code from the nt help guide.

Log Error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"


// If more than 5 bars has elapsed, cancel the entry order
if (CurrentBar > barNumberOfOrder + 5)
{
CancelOrder(myEntryOrder);
}

Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for writing to the forum.
The call to the order object with CancelOrder() is calling the object before it has been assigned. The system is attempting to call a null object. Please review the initialization of myEntryOrder and ensure that it is not null when is reaches the call to CancelOrder().
Like so:
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (entryOrder != null)
{
if (CurrentBar > barNumberOfOrder + 5)
{
CancelOrder(myEntryOrder);
}
}
}
If we may be of any further assistance, please let us know.
