Advanced Order Help OCO + Time Condition

Hey all! I am about to go out of town and would like some help with placing advanced orders for me to not have to worry about selling while out of internet range.

A simplified explanation of my strategy is: I buy stock then set an OCO bracket (target and stop loss) but if they don't hit either of those in a week I sell regardless.

Is there a way to have an OCO order that can be overridden by a date/time type order? Example: Buy AAPL on September 1st and set my OCO bracket but also have an overriding order attached that will place a market sell order at market open on Sept 7th. Thanks everyone!

@wsudesperado Welcome to the usethinkscript forums... In answer to your question, no, it would be very difficult to prepare a Conditional Order that would exit a trade on a specific date at a specific time... Thinkscript does not provide us with the proper tools to adequately perform such tasks... Your best options are to either let the trade take its course or exit before leaving internet range should you feel the need...
