if(TimeCurrent()>=timedelay, .. other order conditions ..)
{
//In order loop
//Remember to use ticket=OrderSend(...
if(ticket>0){timedelay=TimeCurrent()+(ORDERDELAY_Minutes*60);}

What I look for is simple code for allowing only one trade taken during the trading hours...example in hour 1, only one trade, in hour 2, only one trade..etc..
I try using flag:
if(total<1 && Minute()==0)
{flag=true;
}
and after the buy command/sell command, I put flag==false;

What I do is check through the trades in the tradepool and trade history. if there's any trade that's opened later or equal to the current hour bar time, don't open a new position. This also caters for occasions when the trade has opened and closed within the same hour.
Inserted Code
bool DecideToOpenTrade()
{
int total = OrdersTotal();
if (total > 0)
{
for(int cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
{
if(OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS))
{
if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MAGIC_NUM)
{
if (iTime(NULL,PERIOD_H1,0) <= OrderOpenTime()) // don't open a new position if we're still on the same candle
{
return (false);
}
}
}
}
}
// in case trades has already opened and closed within the candle
int histotal = OrdersHistoryTotal();
if (histotal > 0)
{
for(cnt=0;cnt<histotal;cnt++)
{
if(OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY))
{
if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MAGIC_NUM)
{
if (iTime(NULL,PERIOD_H1,0) <= OrderOpenTime()) // don't open a new position if we're still on the same candle
{
return (false);
}
}
}
}
}
return (true);
}
int start()
{
//... some of your codes...
// assuming now there's a buy or sell signal
if (DecideToOpenTrade())
{
// trade opening codes go here.
}
return (0);
}

that wont work. you might not get a tick on 0 minute every time.
