int TotalHistoryOrders() {
   int cnt = 0;
   int TotalOpenOrders = 0;
   cnt=OrdersHistoryTotal();
   if(cnt==0) {
      return(0);
   }
   else {
      for(;cnt>=0;cnt--) {
         RefreshRates();
         OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY);
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) {
            TotalOpenOrders++;
         }
      }
   }
   return(TotalOpenOrders);
}

int FoundRecentOpenedOrder(int TF) {
   int last_order_idx = (TotalHistoryOrders() - 1);
   OrderSelect(last_order_idx,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY);
   if (OrderOpenTime() >= iTime(Symbol(), TF, 1)) {
      return(TRUE);
   }
   return(FALSE);
}

if (FoundRecentOpenedOrder(1440) == TRUE) {
    return(0);
}

Easiest way is to check the history.

Inserted Code

int TotalHistoryOrders() {
   int cnt = 0;
   int TotalOpenOrders = 0;
   cnt=OrdersHistoryTotal();
   if(cnt==0) {
      return(0);
   }
   else {
      for(;cnt>=0;cnt--) {
         RefreshRates();
         OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY);
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) {
            TotalOpenOrders++;
         }
      }
   }
   return(TotalOpenOrders);
}

int FoundRecentOpenedOrder(int TF) {
   int last_order_idx = (TotalHistoryOrders() - 1);
   OrderSelect(last_order_idx,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY);
   if (OrderOpenTime() >= iTime(Symbol(), TF, 1)) {
      return(TRUE);
   }
   return(FALSE);
}

Basically just do like...

Inserted Code

if (FoundRecentOpenedOrder(1440) == TRUE) {
    return(0);
}

Got confused with another thread called 1 trade a day.

Unfortunately...the ea that I can work up would include hi/low for the day type of scalping and not indicators. Sorry for the confusion.

I am not an ea programmer. But I do understand enough of the coding to make modifications to get the ea to work a certain way. Sometimes it works for me and other times it does not.

I can however...share an ea that will calculate the 24 hr high and low and place buy/sell orders. I forget who wrote the orig ea but with the modification...I think it will be useful.

It's just a shame that the nfa will be putting the squeeze on all US nfa regulated MT4 brokers on Aug 1ST.

I will post the ea soon in this forum. Thanks for the interest.
