opening and closing trades on an EA

Hello,

I've been writing this EA for about a fortnight and I can get everything perfect except the following...

if a trade closes in a given bar/hour, I do not want the EA to open any trade in the selfsame bar/hour.

I have been tearing my hair out trying to think of what will probably be a simple solution, but my tiny mind is an enormous obstacle.

Can anybody help?

Create a static variable that contains the opening time of the bar you closed your last trade in. If iTime(NULL,0,0) is equal to that value, don't allow another trade. 2 or 3 lines of code and it works perfect.

cheers fourex!!!

Different traders, Same question. But I'm afraid I've got a teenie tiny mind in my tiny head.

I've got the exact same question as Gmak but just have not been able to translate fourex's answer. So, teenie tiny mind.

Would someone mind translating this into the actual code needed to make it work and advising where in general it should go in an EA???

My thanks to all ...

Hey Pip Parade!!

Thanks for pointing me here!

Ciao!
