What this is
Every other exit rule in a trading system watches price: the stop, the target, the trailing stop. All of them need the move to happen before anything triggers, and none of them answers the question "what if the reason for this trade stopped existing?". A trade taken on a news burst, a session open or a breakout window has a shelf life. This expert advisor watches the clock instead of the price and closes the position once a chosen number of bars or minutes has elapsed, whether it is winning or losing.
What it does
Closes a position after N bars or N minutes in the trade, regardless of whether it is winning or losing, on a filterable magic number.
- Every other exit rule watches price; this one watches elapsed time, and it runs on its own timer so it manages trades opened by any EA or by hand. One max-hold rule, no averaging, no trailing.
- Runs on a single chart; it does not need to be the chart you trade from.
- No DLL calls. No external services. No network requests.
- No account, terminal, symbol or time limitation is embedded.

How to use it
- Attach the EA to a chart of the symbol you trade.
- Set the inputs to match your own risk approach. Defaults are deliberately conservative.
- Allow live trading in the Expert Advisors settings for this EA.
- Test on a demo account first. That is not a formality; the defaults are not tuned to your broker.
Notes
- Written for MetaTrader 4, any broker, any account currency. Sizing maths uses the symbol's own tick value.
- Coexists with other tools on the same account; it only touches what you point it at.
- It performs management and measurement only; it does not generate trading signals.
Honest limits
- This is a tool, not a strategy. It does not predict anything and it cannot make a losing method profitable.
- No performance figures are published for it because tools of this kind do not have a meaningful backtest curve of their own.
- If your broker quotes oddly (very wide spreads, non-standard tick values) verify the sizing on a demo account before using real funds.
Trading involves risk of loss. Nothing here is financial advice.
