bool PositionCloseByTime(int hours,int minutes)
  {
   ulong ticket;
   int total=PositionsTotal();
   for(int i=total-1;i>=0;i--)
     {
      ticket=PositionGetTicket(i);
      if(PositionSelectByTicket(ticket))
         if(TimeCurrent()-PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TIME)>=hours*3600+minutes*60)
            return(trade.PositionClose(ticket));
     }
