Help - Expiration Date on MQL EA

**Mr.** · 18:13,

Hello men,

Would you understand how to set expiration date on a pending order in an EA.

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLLIMIT,1,xxxx,1,xxxx 20*Point,xxxx-20*Point,NULL,0,(This is the place where the expiration date supposed to be),CLR_NONE);

The issue is that I don't really understand how to put the datetime variable here.

The instance is that all order within my EA is opened at 8:00 (pending order), and that I want the order to be expired if it's not executed by 12:00. How do I set the expiration date?

There is more than 1 means to do this. This is the way I did it.

Currently for 2 hours:

int et = TimeCurrent() (240*60)*60;

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,0.10,0,3,0,0,0,0,et, Green);

Note: expiration period is set in moments; hence the necessity to multiply 240*60 and by 60 to get 4Hrs worth of moments.

I have not checked this example, but it should function [quote]
