How to set TimeInForce.gtd for AtmStrategyCreate - cant?

[firefoxforum12]

Hello, with account.CreateOrder you can specify a time in force date, however with AtmStrategyCreate you cannot.

Is there a way to update the Entry order after its created via AtmStrategyCreate to do this?

Thanks

Hello firefoxforum12,

For the targets when using ATM's you need to make any settings changes directly in the template, the Time in force can only be set inside the template for the targets. AtmStrategyCreate is just used to launch the ATM entry order and then it will use the options defined in the template. The entry order can have a time in force set:

AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction action, OrderType orderType, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, TimeInForce timeInForce, string orderId, string strategyTemplateName, string atmStrategyId, Action<Cbi.ErrorCode, string> callback)

OK thanks. I see GTD via that drop down option only lets you pick the DAY not time of day. Feedback please make that far more granular that is not overly great...

Hello firefoxforum12

The TIF GTD is good till date, there is currently no TIF options that include specific hours of the day, this is not specific to NinjaTrader.

To have an order cancelled at a specific hour would require you to add time based conditions into your strategies logic to cancel the order. For ATM entry orders you can use AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder() or for active ATM's you can use AtmStrategyClose().
