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
