Closing orders after a certain time

[Abdullah Saleh Abdullah Alnuaimi]

I'm trying to code a function to close any trade after x time 

I wrote a code for mt4 and it worked perfectly but not working on mt5 because mt5 uses class ctrade , so can someone modify it,

Here's what i did with mql4;

void TimeBasedSL(string symbol, double TimeBasedSLPeriod,int mode=4) {
 bool result;
 double TimeBasedSL=0.0;
 string smode="unknown";
 if (mode==1) {smode="days"; TimeBasedSL = TimeBasedSLperiod * 86400;}//days
 if (mode==2) {smode="hours"; TimeBasedSL = TimeBasedSLperiod * 3600;}//hours
 if (mode==3) {smode="minutes"; TimeBasedSL = TimeBasedSLperiod * 60;}//minutes
 if (mode==4) {smode="bars"; TimeBasedSL = TimeBasedSLperiod * Period() * 60;}//bars
 
 for (int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1; cnt>=0; cnt--) {
  if (!OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) continue;
   {
    if ((TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime()) >= TimeBasedSL) {
    
     while(IsTradeContextBusy()) Sleep(100);
     RefreshRates();
     
     if (OrderType()==OP_BUY) {
      result=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_BID),9999,clrRed);
           } //buy
     if (OrderType()==OP_SELL) {
      result=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_ASK),9999,clrBlue);
           } //sell
    
      }
    }
  }
}

Your approach is wrong! Search for e.g. trailing stop, open positions are continuously controlled ... Copy paste and amend one of these working examples.

Don't do that. Someone searching might find this thread and still be clueless. What was the problem? What solved what?
