Timer for Trades

[Robertp75]

Hello,

I am looking for a NT7 code snippet "Timer for trades" which is defined like that:
Close position after e.g. 1 Minute after trade was executed (long or short position).

Many thanks.

Best regards,

Robert P.

Hello Robertp75,

You could accomplish this with BarsSinceEntryExecution(), see the following section of our helpguide.

I have also built a sample which enters a trade, saves the time of execution to a datetime variable, adds 60 seconds to that variable, and then compares the current time against that variable time. If the current time is greater, the strategy will exit.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
