Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your post.

What about it doesn't work?

Do you receive any error messages in the Log Tab of the Control Center?

What instrument are you running this on and time interval?

[Thomas79]

actually, i don't have any trade or order when i have the cancelorder on my script.

if i delete the CancelOrder line, i have the orders and trades of my script... but of course the order after 161500

Can you attach the whole script so that I can investigate it further?
The script will be located in (My) Documents -> NinjaTrader 7 -> bin -> Custom -> Strategy

Thomas,

Thank you for the script.

Just to clarify, can you elaborate on what the exact issue is?

[Thomas79]

the problem is that when i run the script i don't any order.

when i delete the cancelorder :
if (ToTime(Time[0]) > 161500)
{
CancelOrder(myEntryOrder);
}



i have all the trades and orders... however, i have some trades after 161500 time that i don't want...

can you help ?

Thomas,

Let me ensure that I'm following you right,

When you mention "when i run the script i don't any order" does this mean that when this code is in your script that no orders are being placed, or does this mean that no orders are being filled?

When you use the CancelOrder() you don't have any orders being placed?

However, when you don't use CancelOrder() you do get orders being placed but then you get orders after 16:15 that you don't want.

If this is the case you would want to put in logic for a time filter for your EntryOrder() as well.

Yes, When i mention "when i run the script i don't any order" means that when this code is in my script that no orders are being placed

When i use the CancelOrder() i don't have any orders being placed?

However, when i don't use CancelOrder() i do get orders being placed but then i get orders after 16:15 that i don't want.

if i put a filter on my condition like && ToTime(Time[0] < 161500) and don't use the CancelOder() i have still orders after 16:15 because the order is placed before 16:15 and can be executed after 16:15, this is why i try to cancel it at 16:15... without succes

ok i found the problem, i just need to write myEntryOrder != null on my condition...

Thx a lot
