Order Expire in datetime MQL4

[amando]

Helle,

 

in older days, the order expire was a function of Seconds,

 

now it use the datetime and this is a miracle for me since i use MQL4.

can someone help me, how do program on a pending order, that the expiration is after 30 minutes?

 

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,Lots,Price_Sell,Slip,SL,TP,Text,MN,EXPIRATION??????,Red);

 PS

This is exactly as docs says - expiration time in datetime type. You don't need to bother that it's internally stored as number of seconds passed since epoch. You can use any datetime related functions or simply add seconds to current time.

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,Lots,Price_Sell,Slip,SL,TP,Text,MN,TimeCurrent()+30*60,Red);
