I am in the process of reading a book about mql and I have just created my first expert advisor. The EA buys when the opening price of the candle before is below the 100 sma and the closing price above. I use the count variable to limit the number of trades to one but I would like the EA to continue to trade after the trade has been closed. How do I do that?

I'll thank you for all of your excellent posts, and helpful information even if this jerk doesn't LOL.
