  Is it possible to extend my LIMIT order to hold for 4 bars instead of 1?

  Extend the limit to hold for 4 bars

  IF NOT LongOnMarket AND MyCriteria THEN Buy ContractsToBuy Contracts At BuyLevel1 LIMIT Buy ContractsToBuy Contracts At BuyLevel2 LIMIT ENDIF

  1 2 3 4

  IF NOT LongOnMarket AND MyCriteria THEN     Buy ContractsToBuy Contracts At BuyLevel1 LIMIT     Buy ContractsToBuy Contracts At BuyLevel2 LIMIT ENDIF

  You simply have to repeat the order every bar.

  Despair is right. Your ‘MyCriteria’ variable must be valid until your LIMIT orders are triggered, since pending orders expired at Close of each period.
