Ever placed a pending order, only to lose track of it or watch it linger for far too long without hitting your desired price? Or perhaps you’ve canceled an order prematurely, missing out on a big opportunity? Managing multiple time-sensitive trades can be tricky—and the inability to precisely control when your orders expire has been an ongoing source of frustration for traders everywhere.

Now, meet our Order Expiration feature with options for GTC (Good ‘Til Canceled), Today, or a Custom date and time. Whether you want your trades to remain open indefinitely, automatically close at the end of the trading day, or expire at a specific moment you set, you’re fully in control. No more guessing, no more manual cleanups—just tailored, time-bound trading.

With Order Expiration, you’ll have more control over your entry and exit timing—helping you act on opportunities more effectively and keeping your trading list streamlined.

This is just one of many new enhancements designed to support your strategy and streamline your workflow. Stay tuned for more dynamic tools that help you seize every opportunity and power your trading to new heights.

1. Choose Your Order Expiration

Go to the “Account & Pairs” section in your Assist. There select one of the following options:

  • ⏳GTC (Good ‘Til Canceled): The order remains active until you cancel it.

  • 🌅 Today: The order expires at the end of the trading day.

  • 🗓️ Custom Specifications: The order expires on your chosen date and time.

2. Changing the Expiration Date/Time

To change the expiration date and/or time of a trade, you need to:

  1. Open the Active Trades Tab for your Assist (or find the order in your main Dashboard or Magic Terminal).

  2. ✏️ Click “Edit TP and SL”: A window will appear showing the current order expiration time.

  3. ⏲️ Adjust the Expiration Time: Enter your preferred date and time (in broker server time) if you need to customize it.

    ⚠️ Note: Always confirm the broker server time if you’re unsure about time zone differences. Contact your broker for details, as it may differ from your local time.

⚠️ Compatibility Reminder

Time-In-Force options aren’t currently available for orders created via Magic Terminal. Stay tuned for updates—this feature is coming soon!
