Time-Limited Trade Setups in Free Text Flow#511

I propose adding the ability to set a validity timeframe for trade setups created via the free text flow. This would allow traders to specify how long a signal remains active (e.g., “good for next 20 minutes”), after which the setup would automatically expire if not executed.

Key Functionality:

  • New optional field in free text creation: “Valid for [X] [minutes/hours]”
  • Visual countdown timer showing remaining validity time
  • Automatic cancellation/expiration when timeframe elapses
  • Notification when trade setup expires

Example Use Cases:

  • Scalping signals that require quick entry
  • News-based trades with short opportunity windows
  • Preventing stale signals from being executed too late

Implementation Suggestions:

  • Could use simple syntax like “!20m” in the signal text to denote 20-minute validity
  • Alternatively, a dedicated time duration selector in the UI
  • Should work with both manual and automated trading modes

Benefits:

  • Reduces risk of late entries on time-sensitive setups
  • Better aligns with trading strategies requiring precise timing
  • Cleaner signal management without manual cleanup
