EA Close a position after 4 hours

New comment

Hi everybody, some days ago i download an MT4 EA that seems to do this job : close the open position after a determinate number of seconds.

I need this EA for my MT5 Account but i am not a programmer and i don't want to spend money because this is not a real EA, just a test that i would try to do.

Here i have the MT4 code (downloaded for free from this forum), someone could help me to make it work on MT5? Thank you
