# forge.signals.TimeStop

```python
forge.signals.TimeStop(*, kind: str = 'time_stop', note: str | None = None, bars: int | None = None, duration: str | None = None, only_if: str | None = None) -> None
```

Close a trade that has been open too long: ``fg.TimeStop(bars=48)`` or ``duration="2d"``.

``bars`` counts bars of the strategy's own timeframe. ``duration`` is a number of minutes,
hours or days written like ``"90m"``, ``"6h"`` or ``"2d"``, from 1 minute to 365 days.
``only_if="loss"`` closes the trade only while it is not in profit.
