I have an EA that gives multiple trades for each signal but I only want it to trade once per signal and not to post another trade until the signal resets.

I'll appreciate anyone who can help me out with this code.

How about this? ...

PHP Code

   int Total=OrdersTotal(),cnt=0,TBS_cnt=0,TB_cnt=0,TS_cnt=0;
   for(cnt=0; cnt<=Total; cnt++)
     {
      if(OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==true)
        {
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol()){
         if(OrderType()==OP_BUY) { TBS_cnt+=1; TB_cnt+=1; }
         if(OrderType()==OP_SELL){ TBS_cnt+=1; TS_cnt+=1; } }
        }
     }

The follwing are the three conditions ...

PHP Code

if(TBS_cnt==0){ OrderSend() ... } // Buy or Sell
if(TB_cnt==0) { OrderSend() ... } // Buy Only
if(TS_cnt==0) { OrderSend() ... } // Sell Only

There's no need for a reset, for it only allows you to place one trade at a time.

I was crossing my fingers and simply cut & pasted the sections into my ea but not suprising it didn't work. Thanks for code regardless. I still want to pursue this idea but I think it will be well worth finding someone skilled to do it.
