Post From: How to measure current Trade time Duration via simple alert formula?

when I subtract J41-J42, I get a very small fractional value
The actual value is not important because they are SerialDateTime values and can be very small.
For example:
1 second = 1/86400 = 0.000011574074074074073
1 minute = 1/1440 = 0.0006944444444444445
1 hour = 1/24 = 0.041666666666666664
Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Using Date Time

So you are comparing a very small decimal value to another very small decimal value, e.g.:
=AND(J8<>0,J41-J42 >= 5/1440)

Is there a way (or a need) to isolate just the time component of what's in those cells?
There is no need, but you could if you want to:
=AND(J8<>0,FRACTIME(J41)-FRACTIME(J42) >= 5/1440)
Edit: You don't want to if your trade duration crosses midnight.
