Help - Expiration Date on MQL EA

Hi guys,

Do you know 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 where the expiration date supposed to be),CLR_NONE);

The problem is I don't really know how to put the datetime variable here.

The case is that all order in my EA is opened at 8:00 (pending order), and I want the order to be expired if it is not executed by 12:00. How can I set the expiration date in the code?

There's more than one way to do this. This is how I did it on that occasion.

Now for Four hours:

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

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

Note: expiration time is set in seconds; hence the need to multiply 240*60 and that by 60 to get 4Hrs worth of seconds.

I haven't checked this example, but it should work[quote]
