Hello!

I was looking for my disappearing limit orders during backtest, and my problem was the default EntryTime.
In the documentation:

However, I did not see any messages about "Missed Entry". Verbose = 3 is in my code.
I saw that the limit order opens; see the message "... @ Entry limit", but then when the price reached the entry level, the trade was not open. It disappeared magically; no messages were in the output. Then finally I found EntryTime in the documentation, but it took time because it is not obvious. I tought my tmf function is the broken one, and I was looking for solutions there.

• What is the logic behind automatic entry removing? It's a nice feature, but I think it shouldn't be the default behavior. The reason we use limit orders is exactly about waiting (for the price to reach that level).
• It would be nice if I would see a message about automatic close as documentaton suggests. Is it a bug, or am I looking for the message in a wrong place?
• Can I completely turn off EntryTime? If I change it to 0, then the order removes immediately. Now I add a realtively huge number, but it's unneccessary calculations, and later I will forget that, and it leads me unneccessary behavior, then I will start to debug this again. Is it a reasonable feature if we use EntryTime = -1, then Zorro will not close the pending trades automatically?

Thank you!

Well I was completely right with this guess. I found my 1+ year old thread, and I see that I am using EntryTime this way: EntryTime = 5000.

...but now, a year later, I am making some more experiments with pending orders again, and as we see, I forget it because it's not obvious and expected that Zorro closes the pending trades automatically.

Or maybe I just don't understand the reason.
Do you have any clue?
