Hi,
Looked at your video the trade time was measured by blocks !
Erm simplify > can you not use a clock / 24hrs ect  Smiley

No.  There is no bitcoin clock, only the bitcoin blockchain which has a variance that ranges from seconds between blocks to over an hour.   Lacking a clock, you have to count blocks.  It's not exact, but it's real and its decentralized.
