Hello. Is there a way to attach a deadline for a working order other than GTC and Day? I want a working order to be cancelled if it does not get filled within X bars or within X minutes after it was issued. Is this possible? |

Yes this is possible but you have to program this yourself by canceling the order at the appropriate time. We do not provide programming help for how to do this.

Thanks. I'd been hoping ACSIL's built-in order management would replicate some of the features of Chart Trading internally. Chart Trading seems to allow not just GTC and DAY, but also "Immediate or Cancel" and specifying a DateTime for the exit. I'd been getting errors trying to compile code that used "SCT_TIF_IMMEDIATE_OR_CANCEL". Up to version 1344, the definition was not even listed in the constants.h header file. Now with v1366 it seems the definition has been added. Maybe I can work with it now. Thanks anyway. |

The Time in Force of Immediate or Cancel does not support a Date-Time. This is only when using Good till Date-Time.
