Hey,
I want to cancel EnterLongStopMarket order, if it is not triggered after 5 bars.
Can you help me with a code?

Hello UltraNIX,
To count bars you will need a counter integer variable.
There are two ways to cancel an order.
First, with managed approach when placing orders with isLiveUntilCancelled as false, or by not using the overload with this parameter which will default to false, will cause an order to automatically cancel when the submission bar closes unless the order method is called again with the same signal name.
This means in the condition that submits the order the counter must be less than 5 for the order to be kept alive by re-submission.
See isLiveUntilCancelled for limit and stop order methods in the help guide.
The second would be by assigning the order to a variable in OnOrderUpdate(), and then when the counter is greater than 4 to call CancelOrder() and supply the variable holding the order.
Below is a link to the help guide on CancelOrder().

Hello UltraNIX,
Is the condition evaluating as true?
Use prints to find out.
Is the myEntryOrder.OrderState in the state OrderState.Working when then CancelOrder() is called?Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer ServiceComment

Not sure, as I am new to coding C#, but I have previous experience of coding FileMaker Pro. My statement "it doesn't work" comes from Backtesting. I ran test twice - once with code, other time - without code. Completely exact results. So I am making a point that it doesn't work.

Hello UltraNIX,
The next step is to find out why the results are not changing.
You will need to use prints and TraceOrders to understand the behavior.
Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to use prints to understand behavior.

Hello UltraNIX,
I am happy to assist with analyzing the output from the output window.
Please attach the saved output text file with your next post.
To understand why a condition is not evaluating as true, print the time of the bar and all values used in the condition to the output window.

Hello UltraNIX,
From the code you have provided:
if (barNumberOfOrder !=0 && CancelAfterBars && CurrentBar > barNumberOfOrder + CancelAfterCount)
It looks like you need to print barNumberOfOrder, CancelAfterBars, CurrentBar, and CancelAfterCount as well as the order OrderState.Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer ServiceComment

I also attached a strategy file I use, maybe it would be easier to see it from the code right here.
It compiles without an error, but performance is still with errors.Comment

Hello UltraNIX,
This is an error stating there is a null value for a variable that was used.
We will need to find which line of code is causing the error.
I generally recommending adding prints every few lines. Where the prints stop appearing is typically where the error is.
Below is a link to a forum post that discusses adding prints to find which line in a script is causing an error.

Visual Studio can also be used for debugging.
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._debugging.htm
If the error is coming from the print, it may be from the order.
You can add a check for null.
Print(string.Format("{0} | {1}", Time[0], (myOrder != null ? myOrder.OrderState : "null"));
or
if (myOrder != null)
{
Print(string.Format("{0} | {1}", Time[0], myOrder.OrderState));

Hello UltraNIX,
I have a video I've previously made that shows debugging in VS.
You could also use prints to find the line causing the error.
(I think its the order object but not sure.)
Learning C# does take time. But the more you learn the more you can do.Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer ServiceComment
