So if I don't cancel the venture what happens to the timer while we're trading, etc ?
If you put stuff for sale while they're on a venture nothing happens to the timer. It continues to function normally even if you summon them and put stuff for sale. I think the only way for a venture to be cancelled is if you cancel it yourself.
