Closed the trade based on Time duration

[anuj71]

Hello,

I made the code, which close old trade after X time from Order Open Price.

My code :

void StopOrderSL(int trade_close_magic)
  {
   for(int pos_0 = OrdersTotal() - 1; pos_0 >= 0; pos_0--)
     {
      OrderSelect(pos_0, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if(OrderSymbol() != Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != trade_close_magic)
         continue;
      ResetLastError();
      if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)
        {
         datetime BuyStop_orderOpenTime = OrderOpenTime();
         int BuyStop_hoursDifference = (TimeCurrent() - BuyStop_orderOpenTime) / 3600;
         if(BuyStop_hoursDifference >= Stop_hours && Bid <= OrderOpenPrice() - Stop_SL * Point)
           {
            ObjectDelete("B"+OrderTicket());
            if(!OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClosePrice(), 3, clrNONE))
               Print(__FUNCTION__ " => Buy Order failed to close, error code: ", GetLastError());
           }
        }
      if(OrderType() == OP_SELL)
        {
         datetime SellStop_orderOpenTime = OrderOpenTime();
         int Sell_hoursDifference = (TimeCurrent() - SellStop_orderOpenTime) / 3600;
         if(Sell_hoursDifference >= Stop_hours && Ask >= OrderOpenPrice() + Stop_SL * Point)
           {
            ObjectDelete("S"+OrderTicket());
            if(!OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClosePrice(), 3, clrNONE))
               Print(__FUNCTION__ " => Sell Order failed to close, error code: ", GetLastError());
           }
        }
     }
  }

I asked ChatGTP to check for errors and it given me the code like this :

void StopOrderSL(int trade_close_magic)
  {
   for(int pos_0 = OrdersTotal() - 1; pos_0 >= 0; pos_0--)
     {
      OrderSelect(pos_0, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if(OrderSymbol() != Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != trade_close_magic)
         continue;
      datetime orderOpenTime = OrderOpenTime();
      int hoursDifference = (TimeCurrent() - BuyStop_orderOpenTime) / 3600;
      ResetLastError();
      if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)
        {
         if(hoursDifference >= Stop_hours && Bid <= OrderOpenPrice() - Stop_SL * Point)
           {
            ObjectDelete("B"+OrderTicket());
            if(!OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClosePrice(), 3, clrNONE))
               Print(__FUNCTION__ " => Buy Order failed to close, error code: ", GetLastError());
           }
        }
      if(OrderType() == OP_SELL)
        {
         if(hoursDifference >= Stop_hours && Ask >= OrderOpenPrice() + Stop_SL * Point)
           {
            ObjectDelete("S"+OrderTicket());
            if(!OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClosePrice(), 3, clrNONE))
               Print(__FUNCTION__ " => Sell Order failed to close, error code: ", GetLastError());
           }
        }
     }
  }

I have two question :

1. which one is more reliable and faster? mine version or ChatGTP?.

2. Can i use OrderOpenPrice directly like this int hoursDifference = (TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime()) / 3600;

I got your point. But can you please tell me is my code is correct or it requires any changes?

just add the seconds of stop hours to your order entry time and compare current time against the elapsed order time

Hi

IMO your code looks better – AI code has a mistake in syntax and names (for a start).

Yours seems to be OK. You can use OrderOpenTime directly in the hour difference formula. Though if you want to make sure that the trade would be closed. I would use some bigger slippage in OrderClose.
