    Hi together,

    How long is an order valid? Until end of trading day or period?

    As Example:
    My EA’s period is on hourly basis. When I place a stopp or limit at 10 o’clock will this order be cancelled at end of trading day or after 10:59:59?

     

    Thank you
    Marc

    If the orders you are talking about are pending ones, they last 1 bar. So if your strategy is running on a daily timeframe, the orders will expire the next day, at Close.

    On the 1 hour chart candles/bars last 1 hour so your pending orders will last one hour and be deleted at the close of the bar.

    I will edit your topic title to make it a little easier to understand.

    No, but you can put the pending order continuously at each new bar in the code with a simple condition:
