How can I know when the broker will close the trade in friday?

I've just been having a look at this too, with the idea of closing out my trades five minutes before the session closes. (if anybody's got any examples of that I'd be interested to take a look).

Have a look at function SymbolInfoSessionTrade.You can use it to get the end of session time on Friday, which I'm assuming is what you are looking for? So you can close out your trade before then? You might also need TimeTradeServer to get the current server time. Not sure how all this works but maybe this will give you a starting point.

Why? Did you read documentation?
