Catch the time from OnTrade event when order is triggered..and do time comparison between trigger time and next 60 seconds..but if a pending order is triggered(executed) the request expiration is not applicable anymore unless i misunderstood your intention

i want to place a pending  stop order with deviation of 50 point and if the order triggered(executed) and the order wasn't full lot executed at the next 60 second so cancel the order

Then OnTrade event is the best route to catch the execution time

plz can you give me example how to use the on trade to the expiration ? 

after i place the order i close the EA so no EA will run the set the time when the order  triggered(executed)
