Thanks for your prompt reply. I don't know how (or why) you find the time to babysit guys like me. OK - so per your response; I'll determine my Market Position (MP = 0 versus MP = 1) before and after my Limit Order has been triggered, but not filled. Along with this, I'll determine my 'Condition 1' status on the 'Trigger bar' and subsequent bars. Using these two data-points, I'll see if I can noodle-out a way to auto-cancel the order. As always, thanks for your …

Hi Martin,

you might want to post your question (or start a new thread) within the Ninjatrader section of futures.io as chances are your NT questions are overlooked within the Tradestation section.
The following thread should get you going:

Hello all,

I am posting here, since it is the closest post I found regarding what I want to do.

My strategy will enter long with a limit order -1 tick of the actual price when the conditions of the strategy are met. One of the condition is the crossover of the MACD, so that condition will not remain satisfied on the next bar update, so the limit order get cancelled on bar update (my order is only valid for 5 minutes..., the time of one bar).

I would like to keep the order good till 'x' amount of bar updates. Seems to be a simple concept, but I didn't find anyone doing it on ninjatrader, neither on other Platform.

I thanks in advance anyone who can help on that. Be aware that I am using NinjaTrader8 and I am not a coder...
