  Hi,

  I would like to define a time exit in a trading system where it sell the position after 5 days. How do I define that?

  I would also like to know how to define a sell of a postion at close of the first day with profit but with a maximum of 5 days. How would that be defined?

  Best regards,
  Sebastian B
