Duration of an open position: full time, net time

[Jose Miguel Soriano]

If a position is kept open by weekend or holiday involved, how to measure the net time, real-time market that is open? 

If we use the following function we obtain the natural time but not the actual open market ...

double tiempoMercadoPosic(string simb= NULL, mi_FECHA_HORA modo= _SEG)
  {                                      //enum mi_FECHA_HORA {_AÑO=0,_MES=1,_DIA=2,_HORA=3,_MIN=4,_SEG=5,_DSEM=6,_DAÑO=7};
   double result=0, sgds=0;
   datetime horaApert= horaApertPosicion(simb);
   sgds= (double)(TimeCurrent()- horaApert);
   switch(modo)
   {
      case _DIA  : result= sgds/(60*60*24);   break; // calcula número de días
      case _HORA : result= sgds/(60*60);      break; // calcula número de horas
      case _MIN  : result= sgds/60;           break; // calcula número de minutos
      case _SEG  : result= sgds;                     // calcula segundos
   }
   return(result);
}

datetime horaApertPosicion(string simb)
  {
   datetime resp= -1;
   if(PositionSelect(simb)) resp= (datetime)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TIME);
   return(resp);
  }

 Someone proposed method to obtain the net or real-time market?

Something like this :

datetime minutes[];
datetime openTime = (datetime)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TIME);
int countMinutes=CopyTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,openTime,TimeCurrent(),minutes);

Not perfectly accurate as you can have missing M1 bar. But you get the idea.
