Ninjatrader allows the trader to set a time say 4PM EST to close all open orders and flatten all automatically. Does these feature exist in Sierra Charts?

No. This seems like a dangerous feature especially if the position data is not accurate and certainly that can be the case with some trading services and certain symbols.

I think this is a very important missing feature in SC. NT(and others) have this feature. I don't understand how it could be dangerous, if one knows what they are doing and accept any risk. Flattening all positions at say 15:10cst, is much less dangerous than accidentally holding positions overnight.

Please consider adding this feature.

CTS T4 also allows this.
