Can Someone please assist me: How can I automatically close an existing Order when two Bars have formed after the Order was sent Originally two days ago. I'm using the Daily Charts. Thank you

[Erman Ardianto]

Add

datetime T;

as a global variable

Add

T=Time[0];

right below an opening order code

finally use

if (T==Time[2])
 {
    OrderClose(...);
 }

to close the existing order at the opening of the 3rd(current) day.

don't you have to increment T somehow?

What he suggests is:

..
..
  OrderSend(...);
  GlobalVariableSet("TimeOfTradeBar", Time[0]);
..
..
  if( GlobalVariableGet("TimeOfTradeBar") == Time[2]){
     OrderClose(...);
  }

Time[n] is the opening time of "n" candle (Current bar is 0), we don't need to increment it.

Thanks Phy,
from my experience we can put

datetime T;

under input parameter(s) to use it as a global variable.
