To get the amount of time that has passed since you opened a position, you would need to use the "Spreadsheet System for Trading", which as the entry Date/Time in the J column for "Last Entry Trade Date Time" (the exact cell depends on whether you are using Column I/J Version 1 or 2). You could then use this in one of the Formula Columns with a formula like the following: =IF($J$5 <> 0, NOW() - $J$42, 0) Where J5 is the Order Quantity (so it checks if there is an open position or not) nd J42 is the "Last Entry Trade Date Time". You may need to change these cells if you are using Column I J Version 2. How you display that information is then up to you. Keep in mind that that if you use the formula as it is above, then you will need to set the "Value Format" of the displaying study to "Time".
