Hello, Engineer. I have a question: How can I display the holding period on the label bar of orders with open positions? How do I set this up? If it's not currently possible, would you consider implementing this suggestion in the future?

Do you mean you want to know how long an order has been Open? Are you referring to an order or a position?

I'd like to know how long my open orders have been held. Can the duration be displayed on the order label?

There is not a way to display this on the Order Line at this time. We have noted this as a Feature Request. In order to get this information, there are items in the "Spreadsheet System for Trading" for "Last Working Entry Order Date-Time" and "Last Working Exit Order Date-Time" in Columns I/J. You can use these to determine the amount of time for a working order by using the "NOW()" function to determine time passed. In one of the formula columns, you would use the following formula in Row 3: =FRACTIME(NOW()) - FRACTIME($J$93) Where $J$93 is the "Last Working Entry Order Date-Time" when using "Columns I/J Version 1" You can then use the "Spreadsheet Study for Trading" or another study to display this value as you want. Keep in mind that if you display the subgraph itself, you will need to set the "Value Format" to "Time". Refer to the following: Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading Chart Studies: Value of Subgraph (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_VALUE_OF_SUBGRAPH) Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Value Format For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
