I know the fees on GDAX are a problem for everyone that is actively trading. Is there any way in Quant Connect to set a limit order and then wait one minute or one bar and if the limit order has not been filled to convert the order to a market order? Or to cancel the limit order and enter a market order instead? I think that would save a ton of fees...

For the example algo I'm submitting its just one that another quantconnect user brilliantly submitted. Its a simple crossver moving average strategy on the SPY but I assume we could use it on Bitcoin. Could we use a limit order, then wait one bar and if that's not filled enter a market order? Thanks for the help!
