Hi,
How to Cancel un-filled limit/stop orders at end of custom session?
Symbol: ESU4
Data Feed: Rithmic
Time in force: Day
Custom session time: 8:30 to 15:15
Time: Exchange
Strategy Auto trading was running using SA settings.
Limit Order was generated at 15:00
My custom session closed at 15:15
My order stayed active and filled out side custom session time at 15:33 this is a bad.
Issue is MC is not canceling un-filled orders at Custom Session Close. I found no settings or any code to cancel un-filled orders after custom session close.
Awaiting

In a recent thread this was also discussed, perhaps it might help you too:

I'm not sure, because to me it seems like there is. For example, this code cancels the limit order when the time is 15:10 or later:So its look like for the time being there is no solution.
Code: Select all
if (Time < 1510) then
Sell ("XL") 1 contract next bar at myPrice limit;

Wouldn't that cancel your pending limit orders prior to the market close?Code: Select all
if (Time < 1510) then
Sell ("XL") 1 contract next bar at myPrice limit;
This code will do nothing for Pending orders. Because to send SELL order MC must have Marketposition staus equal to 1. For unfilled / Pending orders there is no in MC to check status. Only way is to cancel orders manually.
Currently I am using 3rd party software Macro Recorder to cancel all pending orders automatically at 1515, untill v9.1 is released, which is suggested to have a solution for this scenario.
Thanks

Re: how Cancel un-filled limit/stop orders at end custom ses
I don't see the problem. I suppose we're both talking about something different. Since why wouldn't you be able to stop sending a sell order when there is an open market position?This code will do nothing for Pending orders. Because to send SELL order MC must have Marketposition staus equal to 1.
In code, the following always worked for me:
Code: Select all
// Manage long position
if (MarketPosition(0) > 0) then begin
// Keep submitting sell order till 15:00
if (CurrentTime < 1500) then
Sell ("XL") all contracts next bar at myPrice limit;
end;
Re: how Cancel un-filled limit/stop orders at end custom ses
I don't see the problem. [/code]
a) Place a buy limit order - 5 points below price. To make sure it won't get filled and stay status as Pending/Unfilled/Submitted.
b) Then try to cancel that order from PowerLanguage Script.

faraz,
in my opinion JoshM was just pointing this out as an example. You would need to add the time condition to your order under a). Then it would get cancelled once the time condition is not fulfilled anymore.

Re: how Cancel un-filled limit/stop orders at end custom ses
Correct, But I tested it before, It does not work on my strategy. My strategy is not day trading and it some time hold position over night + submit limit orders.faraz,

MC support team confirmed my solution would be in v9.1 release. I would like to wait for it, which is expected by the end of this year.

Re: how Cancel un-filled limit/stop orders at end custom ses
Apparently there has been some misunderstanding. That is correct that MultiCharts 9.1 will have new backtesting/auto trading engine with direct order control from the code. But as we and the other users have stated before - that is already possible to cancel pending orders prior to session close. You can also leave a position overnight if your broker allows that.MC support team confirmed my solution would be in v9.1 release.

May be if I convert my strategy to lower time frame like 1 minute or convert it to IOG. Then I would be able to do some thing at the closest Session End time. I tried to bring my strategy to lower time frame but that was taking a lot of time as I have more than 1 strategy which is facing this issue. So I used an alternative way around to handle all strategies from one solution and so far it is working fine for me.
Thanks

Hello Gaempi,Hello Henry
How is it possible to cancel pending orders at broker prior to session close ?
The orders are valid at broker while they are sent by the strategy. That means the conditions for order generation should be met in your code on each bar close or each tick (if IOG=ON) calculation while you need to keep your orders active. If you want to cancel the order-stop sending it from the code (make the conditions for order generation invalid). Examples were already provided by JoshM above:
For example, this code cancels the limit order when the time is 15:10 or later:Code: Select all
if (Time < 1510) then
Sell ("XL") 1 contract next bar at myPrice limit;
In code, the following always worked for me:Code: Select all
// Manage long position
if (MarketPosition(0) > 0) then begin
// Keep submitting sell order till 15:00
if (CurrentTime < 1500) then
Sell ("XL") all contracts next bar at myPrice limit;
end;
Re: how Cancel un-filled limit/stop orders at end custom session
For my understanding, if the order is sent out to broker however not filled and the condition is not valid anymore. MC will send a cancellation command to broker, right?

1. Correct......For my understanding, if the order is sent out to broker however not filled and the condition is not valid anymore. MC will send a cancellation command to broker, right?
2. But if you conditions are Valid and order is not filled till market close then order would stay active in Globex session. You can add code which discussed on this link viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47845&p=129823#p129823
