For example:

     {
          Timestamp = iTime(NULL,0,0);

          CheckForNewTradeSetup(); // This will be where you put your code which is only allowed to run once every new bar
     }

     CheckOpenTrades();    // This will be where your code is placed, which will run every tick
}

The example shown above will check to open new trades once every new bar,
but will check existing open trades (e.g. to handle breakeven etc) every tick.

Hope this helps

PS. If you are not a coder and this expert is not functioning properly, why don't you just have the original coder have a look at this?

Thanks much for the explanation, that helps a lot.

Unfortunately the original coder is not interested in making modifications.

I assume you have asked him/her for a refund then......

I'd have better luck getting a federal tax refund...

This is a simple code to do it. Isn't it?

Code:

int BarsCount = 0;
 
int start()
{ 
  if (Bars > BarsCount)
  {
    //your code to be executed only once per bar goes here     
    BarsCount = Bars;
  } 
  return(0);
}

Could anyone show me how to code this?

What I want is hopefully pretty basic, if an order closes on the current bar, no new order will take place until the next bar open (or after close of current bar).

Thank you for any help on this probably easy question for any good programmer.
