Hello guys

How to implement within an EA a timer to force each order wait X minutes before opening?

Does anyone have an example of this algorithm already?

Thanks in advance.

Inserted Code
extern ORDERWAIT_Minutes=3;

double timedelay=0; //put this after the externs so that its a global var


if(TimeCurrent()>timedelay && .... && ... )
{

//You Order Stuff Here - If you want a delay after an order opens.
 OrderSend(..);
 timedelay=TimeCurrent()+(ORDERWAIT_Minutes*60);

}
//move the line after OrderSend to your close routine if you want the timer to start AFTER the order closes.

DEBUGGED.

Thanks, Fulltime.

I put the code after OrderClose but for some reason failed.

What I'm missing?

PHP Code
if (Order == SIGNAL_CLOSESELL && TimeCurrent()>timedelay && ((EachTickMode && !TickCheck) || (!EachTickMode && (Bars != BarCount)))) {
               OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, Slippage, DarkOrange);
               timedelay=timedelay+(TimeCurrent()+(OrderWait_Minutes*60));
               if (SignalMail) SendMail("[Signal Alert]", "[" + Symbol() + "] " + DoubleToStr(Ask, Digits) + " Close Sell");
               if (!EachTickMode) BarCount = Bars;
               IsTrade = False;
               continue;
            }

this part goes where OrderSend() is -

the other part starts the timer. leave it where it is if you want the timer to start after the order closes.

timedelay=TimeCurrent()+(OrderWait_Minutes*60); //corrected line
