CurrentTime() - OrderClosetime() problem

[Deleted] 2008.09.22 03:23

I'm having some problems getting my EA to wait a specific period of time between trades. I know I'm supposed to use the two variables listed above but i can't get it to work properly (especially in back tests). I know I'm not referencing previously closed orders correctly.

If anyone can help me insert the proper code i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for any help.

#define SIGNAL_BUY 1
#define SIGNAL_SELL 2

I had simular problem try to impliment this in your code put the Mater_trading variable to stop your buy or sellling

if (OrdersHistoryTotal()>0)
{
OrderSelect(OrdersHistoryTotal()-1, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);
if (OrderCloseTime()+Open_Delay_Time > TimeCurrent())
{
Master_Trading = false;
// Print("Master trading = false !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
return(0);
}
}
Master_Trading = true;
