Cant figure this out ..
I try to have this type of condition for orders so they are good for 5 minutes. I try using the time of the chart and the time of the computer .. but they dont cancel using the DOM "Good Till Date Time" option at the bottom.
See attached

In the case of CME order routing, only the Date portion is used. The Time is ignored. The order will cancel at the end of the trading day on that specific date.

Thank you for the answers.

How do I make an order cancel based on time or end of bar ?
Is there a way to cancel using a spreadsheet formula indicator running on the chart ? or the bar counter ?

You would have to either use the Spreadsheet System for Trading or create a custom study. With the Spreadsheet System for Trading, you would put in the formula you want in terms of the time/bar such that the opposing order cell is set true when that condition is met, sending the opposing order.

Refer to the following for the Spreadsheet System for Trading:
