Exit after xxx seconds

Hello,

 

one short question:
Which ruleset I should use for a condition “exit a trade after 60 seconds”?

 

Thanks in advance…

 

 

hello,

 

there is no condition to exit the trade after 60 seconds. Instead of using time constraints EA Wizard uses bars – you can exit after 1,2,…x bars from opening the trade.

 

If you trade on M1 timeframe you can use ExitAfterBars=1 in your Enter at market/stop/limit order.

This means that the trade will be closed after 1 bar = 1 Minute.

 

Mark

What about a Rule as: IF   Minute(0) = 1       THEN   Close Position 1000.

 

In the Add Condition Dialog > (Time Values) > Minute > = > (Other) > Number 1 

 

Then if you want it to be less than 60 seconds, it can be modified in the code before you compile it…

this would close the trade in the beginning of every hour (when minute = 0).

There’s no condition to measure how many seconds passed since the order was placed, but ExitAfterBars functionality can be used.
