Cancel pending Limit/Stop orders at a certain chart time

[Maliboo]

Hi!

I am trying to implement a filter to my strategy cancelling the pending limit/stop orders at a certain chart time, but I am having some issued.

As a beginner, I try to look for examples online, and came to the following conclusion:

else if ToTime(00,00,00)
                    || ToTime(10,00,00)
                    || ToTime(16,00,00)
                    || ToTime(21,00,00))
                {
                    CancelOrder(entryOrder2);
                }​

However I got the following error while compiling:

"operators cannot be appliet to bool or int" (Not exactly the message, but I hope you get it)

Can you please help me?

Hello Maliboo,

The error is telling you that you are not making a comparison.

If ToTime(00,00,00) is what?

later than another time?

earlier to another time?

equal to another time?

Make a comparison that can evaluate as true or false.

For example if you want to know if the time of the bar is greater than 12:30 PM.

if (ToTime(Time[0]) > 123000)

Try using the Strategy Builder to generate time conditions and then look at the code that is generated to learn from it.

Hi Chelsea,

I understand... The problem is that I am using Renko bars, so one bar can be 1 second and another can be 5 hours, so I cannot rely on them.

So I was looking for something like "If Charttime or Servertime is = 000000, then close all pending orders" I do not know if I can approach that anyhow, or maybe you can guide me on how can I implement it. Maybe with DateTime.Now?

Hello Maliboo,

Time[0] is the time of the bar. Core.Globals.Now is the current computer time.

Either way you still have to make a comparison.
