Help: program mt4 EA to check trade previous bar

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone can help me with how to program this:

I don't want a trade to take place if the previous candle had a trade opened and closed on it.

So, I need to find out how to tell my EA to check for a completed trade on the previous bar/candle.

Would appreciate any help... Thanks

bool CheckPreviousTrade()
{
datetime CheckTime = 0;
for(int I = OrdersHistoryTotal(); I > 0; I--)
{
OrderSelect(I, SELECY_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);
if(OrderOpenTime() > CheckTime)
{
CheckTime = OrderOpenTime();
}
}
if(iBarShift(NULL, 0, CheckTime, False) == 1)
{
return(True);
}
else
{
return(false);
}
}

I have found this code its easily adapted to work with the ea builder ..

Add this to variables
//*********************************** *********************************** **************************
extern bool AutoMoneyManagement = True; // percent of accout to risk based on theextern bool
extern double PercentToRisk = 0.5; // $500 0.01... $1000 0.02... $1500 0.03 ect..
extern double Lots = 0;
//*********************************** *********************************** ****************************
Add this to the start function
//*********************************** *********************************** *********************************
double Risk = PercentToRisk / 100;
if (AutoMoneyManagement)
Lots = NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance()*Ri sk/StopLoss/(MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_TICKVALUE)),2);
//*********************************** *********************************** *********************************



Now all it need is a code that lot increase when losing .. i have found this code,, but it is no compatabe with ea builder

!! plz help id like to add something like this to it !!

//verables
double lotincreasewhenlosing = 2;


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Calculate optimal lot size |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double LotsOptimized()
{
double lot=Lots;
int orders=HistoryTotal(); // history orders total
int losses=0; // number of losses orders without a break
//---- select lot size
lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMarg in()*MaximumRisk/5000.0,10);
//---- calcuulate number of losses orders without a break
if(lotincreasewhenlosing>0)
{
for(int i=orders-1;i>=0;i--)
{
if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE _HISTORY)==false) { Print("Error in history!"); break; }
if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol() || OrderType()>OP_SELL) continue;
//----
if(OrderProfit()>0) break;
if(OrderProfit()<0) losses++;
}
if(losses>1) lot=NormalizeDouble(lot+lot+losses/lotincreasewhenlosing,2);
}
//---- return lot size
if(lot<DisMmIfLotsUnder) lot=Lots;
if(lot> MaxLots) lot=MaxLots;
return(lot);
}
