Expiry Question*

[Morpheus_0]

Hi All,

I am using Pending Orders with a 5 minute expiry.

The thing is, once the trade executes, it then gets closed 5 minutes later due to expiry....according to the Journal....

Once the trade executes it shouldn't have and 'expiry time'....right?

What is going on?
Is this a broker thing...or a bug in the FXDreema code..??

Regards*

Think it's for trade

@jstap Think 'what's' for trade....?

[Morpheus_0]

I have just spoken with my broker....

Apparently it's a Forex industry standard for Pending Orders to have an 11 minute minimum expiry time...

Which means if you set your Pending Order expiry to less than 11 minutes and that order gets executed, the Open Trade will get closed by expiration by the EA!

Doesn't seem right to me......

Once a trade is open there should be no expiry time.......!??

I don't use expire I would set u[ another tree to delete when needed.

[Morpheus_0]

Mm yes. That might be the only way to do it.....

Open trade shouldn't expire though...*

@Morpheus_0 Rather than using expiry on the pending order block itself check if this way works

@GTOAT777 That will work but needs a for each pending order block above close.

Thanks guys....I was trying to avoid adding more blocks but it might be the only way.

Sometimes the trade expiring works in your favour....and sometimes it doesn't....

I'll have a look next week and let you know*
