Strategy: Using CancelOrder() method to cancel orders

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Reference sample for NinjaTrader 6.5.XXXX.X or greater.

When using NinjaTrader's Enter() and Exit() methods, the default behavior is to automatically expire them at the end of a bar unless they are resubmitted to keep them alive. Sometimes you may want more flexibility in this behavior and wish to submit orders as live-until-cancelled. When orders are submitted as live-until-cancelled, the way to cancel them is by using the CancelOrder() method.

This reference sample demonstrates the following concept:

• Submitting live-until-cancelled entry orders
• Manually cancelling orders

Important methods and properties used include:

• CancelOrder()
• IOrder
• OnOrderUpdate()
• OnExecution()

Other methods and properties of interest include:

• EnterLongLimit()
