when firing cone 5-6 pottery in an electric furnace, which means "hold short"?

I do not have a digital, use and control Just witness cones. I can still keep a short somehow?

It will be difficult, but basically you try to raise the temperature continues during the waiting time before switching the oven to hold. If you raised the temp with a sequence of elements, you can be in a position by an element, so that the heat in the oven and the ceramic keeps the temperature for 10-30 minutes to keep. I would be inclined to say to keep it short, about 10 minutes. Maybe you want a pyrometer to obtained. The inexpensive ones are notoriously inaccurate for precise work, but it would at least say that you keep the temp or that it rises or falls.
