How to cancel unfilled orders at a certain time

[NewbieTrader91]

Hi all,

Completely new to writing strategies but have put something together that is working how i want for the most part.

The final issue's im contending with are that I want the strategy to perform as follows:

- If time[0] = x time then close any unfilled orders
- if time[0] = x time and an order is open then leave the associated stop loss and take profit orders open

Not sure if this is info you need to help but all orders in my strategy are set using SetProfitTarget, SetStopLoss, EnterLongLimit, and EnterShortLimit.

Additionally everything is currently done in onBarUpdate().

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldnt find anything.

Thanks in Advance!

Hello NewbieTrader91,

Thank you for your post.

If you are new to NinjaScript, please read through this forum post on getting started:

You can use ToTime() to calculate an integer representing a time to use in your comparison.

Please see this example script in the Help Guide which demonstrates using time filters:

For an example of how to cancel an order, please see the sample script from the Help Guide linked below:

Please note that set methods like SetStopLoss cannot be cancelled, you will need to use an exit method like ExitLongStopMarket() (with isLiveUntilCancelled as true).

Additionally, orders are cancelled by calling CancelOrder() with the order object saved to a variable in OnOrderUpdate().

Please let me know if I may assist further.
