Close Position After certain number of hours

[will111]

Hi,

I am trying to write a code to send an instruction to close 2 open positions after the positions have been opened for longer than 15 hours, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Here's my code below. Would someone please help? Thanks!

if OrderSelect(OrderHandle1, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES) then
if (HourOf(TimeCurrent)- HourOf(OrderOpenTime))> 15 then
begin
CloseOrder(OrderHandle1);
CloseOrder(OrderHandleL1);
OrderHandle1 := -1;
OrderHandleL1 := -1;
end;

Hi

I prefer to use

Code: Select all

HoursBetween(TimeCurrent , OrderOpenTime)>15

and I think you forget to OrderSelect(OrderHandleL1,...) before trying OrderClose(OrderHandleL1) ?

Thanks for your reply!

I tried using the hoursbetween function but I realised my problem is that the system is pulling the wrong time. I used the print function and both the
timecurrent and opentime is giving 12:00:00 AM
