Continuation from Patreon, moving it to here because its not a strategy issue. I have a strategy I run after hours to generate orders, they are placed as limit orders into tradestation my broker.
As a test I just submitted orders for Monday, and in the order manager on Tradestation they show GTD - 04/29/25 I would have expected them to say 4/28/25 which I confirmed I can do with a manual order through the tradestation user interface, when I place a similar order through WL8 it sets it to expire on the 29th.
Thoughts on if I have a config issue.
For reference here is my trading preferences.

Rename
What symbol? Scale? Market?
Hey Cone, Daily bars, Nasdaq 100, Market is set to US Stocks.
Even entering the order manually through the order manager was doing the exact same thing last evening.
Same behavior on ES/MES future too.

UPDATE:
Cancelled all orders in OM on the 27th,
Re-ran the metastrategy and staged the orders, then placed the orders in OM.
Date was tomorrow GTD which is as expected.
Cancelled orders again, and directly placed them from the signals page in the metastrategy.
Date was tomorrow GTD which is as expected.
So I am guessing that this was something to do with either the weekend or that the next trading day was further away than tomorrow.

UPDATE2:
Ran a test during market hours today, orders dropped in as day only which is exactly what I would expect to happen.
Ran a second test after market hours, orders dropped in with GTD 4/29/25 which is what I would expect.
So guessing that Friday after hours is the anomaly. I will continue to keep an eye out if I see any other anomalies. .

I can't tell why that happened last Friday. In the post market period, TS orders have to be entered GTD and the logic for that date just advances to the next trading day.
