Hello canarydaytrading,

I'm not aware of any indicators that would show the number of minutes/seconds between an entry and exit order from an account object.

This thread will remain open for any community members to share.

Is this something you are attempting to develop?

If so, you can monitor the <Account>.ExecutionUpdate event and store the entry and exit executions to variables, and then compare the time of the orders.

Hello canarydaytrading,

You are wanting to compare the current time minus the entry time before the exit order closes the trade?

Assign the <execution>.Time to a variable. Then use <DateTime>.Subtract to subtract this

private DateTime entryTime;

In the <Account>.ExecutionUpdate event handler;
entryTime = e.Time;

In OnBarUpdate():

if (entryTime != null)
{
Print(Time[0].Subtract(entryTime));
}
