Using CancelOrder()

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

I would like to clarify that it is possible to use the CancelOrder() method with code other than the entryOrder bar method in the sampleCancelOrder strategy (as per the code below).

// If entryOrder has not been filled within 3 bars, cancel the order.
                else if (entryOrder != null && CurrentBar > barNumberOfOrder + 3)

For example if I was to use a time filter and/or other method(s) instead?

Admittedly I haven't tried anything else yet because I wasn't sure.

SOLVED:
An OR is represented in C# with 2 pipe characters: ||

The TimeFilter reference sample also uses an OR this way. I didn't realise.

supr,

I believe the entryOrder variable in this example is of IOrderType. This represents the order you are trying to cancel. You can cancel an order based on any criteria you'd like.

Thanks for the reply mrlogik I appreciate it

Hi suprsnipes,

CancelOrder is used with IOrder, in any context of OBU()

Ok,

I have one further question. Is it possible to use the following code (as per the sample) with additional criteria.

In this case, just for clarification I don't want to use && on the end of the statement below.

else if (entryOrder != null && CurrentBar > barNumberOfOrder + 3)
          CancelOrder(entryOrder);

What I do want to do is use a different set of conditions to cancel the same order ... like an OR statement I guess but I'm not to sure if this is possible?

If so what context could I use?

HI suprsnipes,

I don't see any reason why you would not be able to. The conditions for the Cancel shouldn't matter, if they are satisfied, the CancelOrder code will be entered.

Thank you Tim

I am now using an additional cancel order condition which so far in testing is working perfectly.

The question I would like to ask now is how can I add to the code below an additional time filter as an OR statement?

// If entryOrder has not been filled using the time filter below then cancel the entry order. 
                else if (entryOrder != null && (ToTime(Time[0]) > 110100))

I understand I would need to have a time above and below for one condition but how can I use an OR for specifying another time range to achieve the same effect.

Hi suprsnipes,

Are you familiar with this sample?: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3226

This uses several "OR's" is the format ||
