I just got this instruction from ATC what does this mean (Turn left heading 120 and hold over hendrik swellenbregel airport at 7000ft, left turns, do not exceed 230kts). I understand everything except from hold over to left turns. Can somebody please explain

A pink oval will appear somewhere on your map, based on where the controller wants you to hold. You’re expected to enter that oval, and fly inside it at a speed specified by the hold instruction.
If it says left turns, you should be making left turns around the oval. Same for right turns. :)

Just out of interest can you get autopilot to fly in that oval for you? If so how?
No, that’s not available currently.
