I have strategy that needs to close all working orders TO OPEN at 3.55pm est. in the ES futures. I can carry a position with attached orders all the way to 4.30pm est but cannot open a position beyond 3.55pm. I've tried to enter my orders with a goodtilldatetime but it never works. I can see the timeinforce in the orders window and it does say 3.55pm, but they never cancel and are still active. Any work around? Or am I not doing it right?

Use this functionality:

Basic Trading and the Trade Window: A >> Flatten And Cancel at Set Time

It has an option to cancel orders only.

Thank you. I am also looking for an option to "cancel orders if touch" in the trade window. Meaning, I want to leave a bracket order set at a price but if the market reaches a certain price before my order is filled, I want it to cancel it. Is this possible? Can anyone program this for me for a fee?

This is not directly supported with the Sierra Chart but certainly it could be programmed with ACSIL. Maybe another user will respond and can help you with the programming.
