Placing Limit Sell Order

  Hi Guys,

  I m trying a strategy where i place a buy stop or sell limit order based on certain criteria. The issue i am finding is that the order gets cancelled on the next bar & does not stay open so the order never fills & then the strategy stops.

  Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what i should be doing to keep an order open. I have placed an example of some of the entry requirements for a sell and buy with regards to price to buy/sell below.

  hoping someone can shed some light on the issue, thanks in advance.

  if low crosses under EMA1 then BUYentry = high signal = 1 endif if low crosses over EMA1 then SELLentry = low signal = 1 endif IF not onmarket and xx AND xx and xx and xx THEN BUY 2 Contracts at BUYentry stop SET TARGET pPROFIT --- SET STOP pLOSS --- ENDIF IF not onmarket and x AND x and x and x THEN sellshort 2 Contracts at SELLentry limit SET TARGET pPROFIT --- SET STOP pLOSS -- ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  if low crosses under EMA1 then BUYentry = high signal = 1 endif   if low crosses over EMA1 then SELLentry = low signal = 1 endif   IF not onmarket and xx AND xx  and xx and xx THEN BUY 2 Contracts at BUYentry stop SET TARGET pPROFIT --- SET STOP pLOSS --- ENDIF   IF not onmarket and x AND x  and x and x THEN sellshort 2 Contracts at SELLentry limit SET TARGET pPROFIT --- SET STOP pLOSS -- ENDIF

  Does it work as you want if you remove Not onmarket?

  Pending orders always LAST one bar.

  They must be placed again, each bar, till needed.

  Removing Not onmarket as suggested by GraHal should do.
