Cancel market orders

Quick question about cancel market order option under the auto trading tab. I am testing out the strategy on a 1 minute chart to see if it buys and sells correctly. It will place a limit order while the conditions for the sell limit are met, but then instead of turning into a market order when the condition is no longer met, the limit gets cancelled instead.


I have tried setting the cancel order seconds to a number greater than the seconds it takes to convert to a market order and still it cancels only and doesn't convert into a market. For example 60 seconds to convert to market but 120 seconds to cancel.

What am i doing wrong? IOG mode is off btw.

Thank you.
