Currently, TradersPost does not have a built-in feature to automatically close a trade after a specific time, such as 15 minutes. However, traders can implement this functionality within their TradingView Pine Script strategies.
1. Use Pine Script in TradingView
• Add logic to your script to exit a trade after a set time (e.g., 15 minutes).
• Send an exit signal to TradersPost when the time limit is reached.
2. OSO (Order Sends Order) with Expiration (Broker-Specific)
• Some brokers, like TradeStation, support OSO orders with an expiration timestamp.
• This allows traders to set an exact expiration time for limit orders.
• However, most brokers do not support this feature, making it difficult to implement universally.
• Broker API Limitations – Few brokers support order expiration with minute-level precision. Most only allow expiration in days (Good-Till-Date orders).
• Feature Complexity – Implementing this across multiple brokers would require different solutions for each one, making maintenance difficult.
• Prioritization – TradersPost focuses on features that benefit the majority of users, and this request is more niche.
While TradeStation and a few other brokers may support time-limited trades, TradersPost does not currently offer this feature. The best solution is to handle time-based exits in Pine Script or use broker-specific expiration settings where available.
