If the destination automatically cancels all orders after they expire ( for the 1 week trading session), which would be logical in the scenario you described; then TIF should be "0". [[[ 0 = Day Order ]]] Most execution destinations cancel all Day orders at the end of their trading session (usually a day - but in your case 1 week). Unless their systems can not keep a record of the trade's posted date and then they will most likely explicitly request a GTD order to expire after 1 week.
