how Sleep() use? - page 2

[Sebhy Kl]

thank you

Thank you very much from the heart. I was facing that the sleep function did not work with your last function. Now it working on the backtest,

but inside it it takes a variable of the type of int only, and I want to be delayed in hours or seconds.

What is the solution in your opinion?

Sebhy Kl #: I want to be delayed in hours or seconds.

onTick(){
   static datetime sleepTime=0;
   datetime now = TimeCurrent(); if(now < sleepTime) return;
   ⋮
   sleepTime = now + seconds; // Minutes*60 hours*3600;
}

thanks

This is not accurate when I put 3600, which means that he should not open more than four trades on the four-hour chart, but he opens more than one trade in an hour sometimes.

My problem is that my Expertty succeeds when I run it in Control Point mode

But it fails when I turn it on Every tick mode

I concluded that the difference between them is only that the control point setting delays about seconds or minutes between executing the deals, so I am trying to find a function that sets a period between opening the deals and it works on the backtest and the real account

I made this code but it didn't work for delaying time between trades

    uint now =  GetTickCount();  

    long  orderticktime ;

       if (orderticktime <= now) 

    {

    if(OrderSelect (0,1,OP_BUY)){

    orderticktime =  GetTickCount()+10000;  // Ms + 10 Minuts

   }

.

.

.

}

Post your code as code.

GetTickCount returns milliseconds. 10000 are 10 seconds.

2. Of course, it doesn't work. Compare your declaration (orderticktime) to mine (sleepTime). There are two differences.
