Wait for Bar Open

[mpr]

I've been using code in MT4 that waits for a new Bar to open before the rest of the code is executed.  I've been trying to migrate this specific feature into my MT5 code, but without success.  Specifically, I'm getting hung up on the Time[0] variable that is no longer in MT5.  Can someone assist with this please!!??  Thank You!!!

extern bool CheckOncePerBar = true;

datetime CurrentTimeStamp;

int init()
  {
   CurrentTimeStamp = Time[0];
   return;                                     
  }

int start()
  {
   if(CheckOncePerBar == true)
      {
         int Barshift = 1;
         if(CurrentTimeStamp != Time[0])
            {
             //indicator and trading logic go here
            }
         else NewBar = false;
      }
   else
      {
         NewBar = true;
         Barshift = 0;
      }
  }

You may have a look at the "Migrating from MQL4 to MQL5" article (https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/81).

By searching "Time[" in that article, you may find how to implement "Time[]" feature in MQL5:

datetime Time[];
int count;   // number of elements to copy
ArraySetAsSeries(Time,true);
CopyTime(_Symbol,_Period,0,count,Time);

 Depending on how many elements you need to access the Time array, you may specify the value of "count".
