I didn't mean a pending order, but the ability to close a market order on time, even if it is losing.

Code:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Close positions|
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void ClosePosition(const ENUM_POSITION_TYPE pos_type)
  {
     for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1;i>=0;i--) // returns the number of current positions
         if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))     // selects the position by index for further access to its properties
         if(m_position.Symbol()==m_symbol.Name() && m_position.Magic()==m_magic)
          if(m_position.PositionType()==pos_type) // gets the position type
            if(Hour()>TimeClose)
               m_trade.PositionClose(m_position.Ticket()); // close a position by the specified symbol
  }


Добавил условие if(Hour()>TimeClose), в переменных прописал input double   TimeClose         = 21; вставил int Hour()
{
   MqlDateTime tm;
   TimeCurrent(tm);
   return(tm.hour);
}
int Minute()
{
   MqlDateTime tm;
   TimeCurrent(tm);
   return(tm.min);
}

The Expert Advisor compiles without errors, but the order is not closed at the specified time

Just in case: ( General Principles - Trading Operations )

Before starting to study the trading functions of the platform, it is necessary to create a clear understanding of the basic terms: order, transaction and position.

• An order is an instruction to a brokerage company to buy or sell a financial instrument. There are two maintypes of orders: market and pending. Besides them, there are special ordersTake Profit and Stop Loss.
• Transaction is the fact of buying or selling a financial instrument. Buying (Buy) takes place at the bid price (Ask), and selling (Sell) - at the offer price (Bid). A deal can be made as a result of execution of a market order or triggering of a pending order. It should be taken into account that in some cases the result of order execution may be several transactions at once.
• Position is a market commitment, the number of bought or sold contracts on a financial instrument. A long position (Long) is a financial instrument bought in the expectation of price increase, a short position (Short) is a commitment to deliver it in the expectation of price decrease in the future.

In other words, an order is an order, a command to open a Deal (a Deal generates a POSITION) or to place a Pending Order.

To work with time, I recommend to read the article Almost a constructor for creating an Expert Advisor and look in the file'Trading engine 4.mq5' the group of input parameters'Time control':

input group             "Time control"
input bool                 InpTimeControl          = true;           // Use time control
input uchar                InpStartHour            = 10;             // Start Hour
input uchar                InpStartMinute          = 01;             // Start Minute
input uchar                InpEndHour              = 15;             // End Hour
input uchar                InpEndMinute            = 02;             // End Minute
