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.

Maybe something like "estimated time" may be possible, at least in days.. But I'm not even sure how accurate that would be.
