  Hello, you need the TRADEINDEX instruction which save the BARINDEX number when the trade were launched.

  For example, if you want to exit a trade that have at least 5 bars elapsed since it were launched:

  if onmarket and BARINDEX-TRADEINDEX(1)>5 then SELL AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT MARKET endif

  1 2 3 4

  if onmarket and BARINDEX-TRADEINDEX(1)>5 then   SELL AT MARKET   EXITSHORT AT MARKET endif
