How to send order at the close of the bar?

 
int BarCount;
 
init()
 
BarCount = Bars - 1;
 
start()
 
 
if(BarCount != Bars) OrderSend(.....); 

 
int TimeCount;
 
 
start()
 
TimeCount = Period();
 
datetime BarEnd = Time[0] + (TimeCount * 60);
 
int SecondsToBarEnd = BarEnd - TimeCurrent();
 
if(SecondsToBarEnd <= 5) OrderSend(...)

Wish I could get some help over here as well. I'm just a trader who wish to get help on this as i've hunting for it since a while ago.

I currently looking for an script or an EA whereby it could open my trades at the next opening candle or the end of current candles.

I found difficulties to open the trade exactly at the opens of the new candles although I'm currently using hotkey + buy / sell scripts. It always been late a few pips.

So wish could get a small hand from here.

int BarCount;
int init()
{
 BarCount = Bars - 1;
 return(0);
}
int start()
{
 if(BarCount != Bars) OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, 0.1, Ask, 3,0,0,"BuyOrder",255,0,Blue);
}

mph, I made a script with Ronald's code but it is not opening the order on the open of the bar yet
Ronald, can you look at the code and fix what's wrong?
Thank you

PHP Code

int BarCount;
int init()
{
 BarCount = Bars - 1;
 return(0);
}
int start()
{
 if(BarCount != Bars) OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, 0.1, Ask, 3,0,0,"BuyOrder",255,0,Blue);
}

EX4 files are useless to me.

But if it's a script, it won't work because scripts run only on the tick for which they were enabled.

It needs to be an EA. And make sure that after the OrderSend function, you set BarCount = Bars. That way, the EA knows it placed the trade.

Well...

PHP Code

 
int BarCount;
 
init()
 
BarCount = Bars - 1;
 
start()
 
 
if(BarCount != Bars) OrderSend(.....); 

Basically, the EA will place trades at the open of the new bar.

Another option is:

PHP Code

 
int TimeCount;
 
 
start()
 
TimeCount = Period();
 
datetime BarEnd = Time[0] + (TimeCount * 60);
 
int SecondsToBarEnd = BarEnd - TimeCurrent();
 
if(SecondsToBarEnd <= 5) OrderSend(...) 

This bit of code places an order when there is less than 5 seconds left in a bar.

//---- go trading only for first tiks of new bar
if(Volume[0]>1) return;
else OrderSend(...)

I just took one of my existing EAs and set that instead.

Just make sure EachTickMode is set to false so it'll open trades at the open of the next bar.
