Trade Holding-Time CSV Resources
Measure closed-trade durations without mixing in open or invalid records.
A few long trades can pull a mean upward even when most trades close quickly. This worksheet calculates elapsed minutes for valid closed records and reports total, mean and median duration. Still-open trades and invalid rows remain separate instead of becoming made-up zero-minute trades.
Trade Holding-Time CSV Calculator
Calculate durations and median holding time from explicit open and close timestamps.
Three hypothetical closed trades last 45, 90 and 15 minutes. Total holding time is 150 minutes, the mean is 50 and the median is 45. Their timestamps explicitly use UTC. An additional open record is counted as open and contributes no duration to those closed-trade statistics.
Open the worksheet10 Services for Reviewing Trade Holding Times
Holding-time analysis requires a trade definition and unambiguous timestamps. Execution exports and journal groupings can describe different start and end events; the comparison helps you check that boundary before averaging durations.
Compare documented roles using open versus transaction timestamps, explicit time zones, multiple executions, still-open records, trade grouping. The Telegram channel we promote is disclosed in the first entry.
Read the comparisonPrepare useful inputs
Use a distinct trade ID and explicit-offset opening and closing timestamps. Blank closed_at means the trade is still open. Supply timestamps for your own defined trade grouping; individual execution times may need grouping before they represent one opening and one closing.
Read results in their proper scope
Elapsed time is measured between timestamps, not trading-session time or exposure-weighted duration. A closing time earlier than its opening time is invalid, and later repeated trade IDs are invalid. With no valid closed trades, duration averages say Not defined.
