Hi
I need some help with coding ask and bid functions. EUR_USD
In normal cases the computer runs the code in every new bar
but I want just the InsideBid and InsideAsk to update in real time to
prevent orders if the spread is too big but if the spread meet the
conditions I want to send the order without waiting for the next bar.


I also wander how I delete a profit take order if close doesn’t reach
the profit take aria in time limit ex. 10sek.

Best Regards
Ingemar

Ingemar,

your strategy will have to use IntrabarOrderGeneration for that. Then you'll have to make sure that some parts are only updated on a new bar (in case you want to keep this behavior) and the code that collects the bid/ask data either with every tick or with a timer each X seconds. A timer might be required as the bid/ask data can update without a tick coming in and otherwise you'd might miss the information.

Multicharts keeps orders alive as long as the conditions that created the order are still present. You can use this to keep orders alive for a certain duration by storing the time when you send the order and comparing that to the current time - if the difference is larger than your X seconds, the conditional check would become false and Multicharts would cancel the order.
