Pending trade not getting closed even after expiration time

 

Hi,

Any one knows why the pending order stays in order window even after the expiry time in MT4? I know the expiry time should be current time + 10 min. I followed the same but the order is not getting deleted after the time I entered. Is there any other settings I need to do?

Some brokers do not support Expirations on orders and have to be manually deleted. Verify the case with the broker.

Also remember that expirations that occur outside of trading hours, will remain active until the trading session starts again.

My order was within the trading hours so its not the reason. It's one of the inbuilt function of mt4 software right? Anything to do with the broker? I will check with them also. Thanks
