Diference in days/hours/... between OrderCloseTime and OrderOpenTime

[Jose Luis Lominchar]

Hi,

could somebody tell me how to print the diference in days/hours/... between OrderCloseTime() and OrderOpenTime()?

Thanks

There may be simpler ways.

  int time_length=(int)(OrderCloseTime()-OrderOpenTime());
  
  int seconds=time_length%60;
  time_length-=seconds;
  int minutes_seconds=time_length%3600;
  int minutes=minutes_seconds/60;
  time_length-=minutes_seconds;
  int hours_seconds=time_length%86400;
  int hours=hours_seconds/3600;
  time_length-=hours_seconds;
  int days=time_length/86400;
  Print("Difference is ",days," Days ",hours," Hours ",minutes," Minutes ",seconds," Seconds");

Thanks, for days this seems to work:

TimeDay(OrderCloseTime() - OrderOpenTime());

TimeDay(OrderCloseTime() - OrderOpenTime());

Not if it was open for more than 31 days

If for less than 31 days, it's not correct.

   printf("Difference is %i Days %s", time_length/86400, TimeToString(time_length, TIME_MINUTES|TIME_SECONDS));

// OR

   MqlDateTime dt; TimeToStruct(time_length,dt);
   printf("Difference is %i Days %i Hours %i Minutes %i Seconds",time_length/86400,dt.hour,dt.min,dt.sec);
