How to close an open position after a certain time?

[[Deleted]]

Hi,

I just started coding for MT5. I am able to open a position, close it through take profit and stop loss, but I can't seem to get the code to close the open position if, say, it is after 5.00pm.

Are there any suggestions I may be aware of? Or could you simply let me know how an open position can be closed after a certain time?

Many thanks in advance,

You can use this way.
Happy coding :)

Why not? You know the current time (and when the position was opened.) What's your problem?
