Has anyone got code i can use to control the number of trades and EA opens in a day.
Such as open just 3 trades per day and do not open anymore trades until the next trading day.

Call this function :

Call the function where in the code.

It depends of your code. If you do not know, copy your code here.

Very good and clean code! I like this function.

// Closing of Open Orders

}

There is nowhere here the part of the code which eventualy open a position. That's there that the code has to be modified, so please past your whole code.
It will be more lisible if you enclose it in the "PHP" brackets, but you can also attach the mq4 file.

Thanks, Guru ! What an honour for me to have your approbation !

Attached is the whole EA i am using. Also plaese explain how to use your code in detail so i can use it with other EA's in the furture.

Here is the modified one, all modifications have "Michel" as comment so you can easily find them. I didn't try it, tell me if it works ok.
