ema script with time

I was wondering if I can add time to my 2 ema crossover script. I would like to wait until the candlestick has closed before I check to see if they have crossed. Is this possible. I dont want it to be checking every tick.

There is a way to make it wait for Complete Bars to check your conditions.. don't know the code though..

You can also try setting the shift to 1, so it looks at the previous bars and not the current one.


I'm off crossing moving averages = P

But what I used before when I was trying to make an EA myself was:
sufx.core.t3-ism.net/ExpertAdvisorBuilder/

Used it as a template and added to it. If you look at that, there's an option under "orderoptions" for complete bar. So you can find the code you need there.

Basically, the problem that I'm having is that when my 2 day and 8 day averages are in the process of crossing, I am seeing multiple buy and sells as each tick might make the 2 day and 8 day cross multiple times. I want to stop this. Am I approaching the problem in a correct manner by having my EMA_cross script buy and sell based on the previous candlestick?

visit the website I posted, and make the EA. It sounds simple, like I wrote before, under "Order Options" set it to "complete bar" so it only checks after a bar is complete, and not every tick.
I don't know the exact code for it though.

Sorry, I didn't see the new post until after I clicked submit for my followup post. I'll try that out.
Thanks for your help!

Now that I've got the rapid fire buys and sells fixed (thanks!), I have a new problem.

I would like the expert adviser to buy and sell at crossings of the 2 day and 8 day EMAs (buy on an upward cross, sell on a downward cross). However, the expert adviser is buying or selling at each complete bar, depending on whether which EMA is larger. How can I keep the expert advisor aware that it already has an open buy or sell, and not repeat the action again?

In short, the logic I want is this:
Open a buy when the 2 EMAs cross, and the 2 day EMA is greater than the 8 day EMA.

No action until...

Close the buy order when then 2 EMAs cross again, and the 8 day EMA is greater than the 2 day EMA. Open a sell order.

Repeat.

I think I know the code for how to do this, but I'm wondering if I can get the builder to do it for me and I'm just missing something really obvious.

Thanks in advance!

Or, I need the script to check to see if there are any open buy or sell orders, and if there are, not to buy again. How can I add this functionality?

Thanks in advance.
