Add expiration..?

I have also played around with this:

public TradeResult PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType tradeType, Symbol symbol, long volume, double targetPrice, string label, int? stopLossPips, int? takeProfitPips, DateTime? expiration, string comment)

But keep having the same problem.

The correct time setting for the expiration should be based on server time instead of local time.

The syntax for the order commands expects the arguments in a certain order. If arguments are to be ommited, a null should be specified in their place.

 DateTime expiry = Server.Time.AddMinutes(5);
 PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 10000, Symbol.Bid - 1.5 * Symbol.PipSize, null, null, null, expiry);

Aha, I didn't know about the Null bit. It still doesn't like it though:

Error: The type or namespace name 'DateTime' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Maybe "using system" is missing :-)

Using system..?

Adding "using System" solves the problem with the buy order, but another fault comes up with the sell order:

private void Sell()
        {
            DateTime expiry = Server.Time.AddMinutes(5);
            PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, 10000, Symbol.Sell + 0.5 * Symbol.PipSize, null, null, null, expiry);
        }

Error: 'cAlgo.API.Internals.Symbol' does not contain a definition for 'Sell" and no extension method 'Sell" accepting a first arguement or type 'cAlgo.API.Internals.Symbol' could not be found (are you missing a using directive o...

Ahahaha, wow i'm so stupid. Problem solved:

PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, 10000, Symbol.Sell + 0.5 * Symbol.PipSize, null, null, null, expiry

I had replaced "Bid" with "Sell" by mistake thinking it said "Buy"
