BTW there is example in TimeCurrent() and TimeLocal() .
Your logic of TradeTime < TradeTime+(15*60) is always true. Ever think of that ?
Trade_Time = TimeCurrent(); if (TimeCurrent() >= Trade_Time*15*60) { int M15 = (TimeCurrent() - Trade_Time)/60 ; Print (TimeToStr(M15|TIME_SECONDS)); // Trade }
I don't compile all of these nor check the logic too
:D
Trade_Time = GetTickCount(); if (GetTickCount() >= Trade_Time*15*60*1000) { double M15 = (GetTickCount() - Trade_Time)/1000/60 ; Print (M15); // Trade }
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to open next trade at least 15 min from last trade ... Current code I have tried doesn't seem to work... Any help would be greatly apprecited
if ( EnableTrading ){
if ( openTrades < maxOpenOrders && TradeTime < TradeTime+(15*60) ){
.... OrderSend...
TimeTrade = TimeCurrent(); // doesn't work
TimeTrade = iTime(Symbol(),NULL,0); // doesn't work
TimeTrade = Time[0]; // works only is i'm trading on 15 min chart and i set the TradeTime != Time[0] above, but when I switch to lets say 30 min chart, it will open new position immeidately

thanks onewithzachy for qiock response. I did try your Timecurrent() logic but it still opens positions within the same timeframe.. within same second!
datetime TradeTime; int tradeTimeWaitINmin = 1; // test for 1 min wait if ( EnableTrading ){ if ( openTrades < maxOpenOrders && TimeCurrent() >= TradeTime * ( tradeTimeWaitINmin * 60) ){ trade logic... if trade successfull...) TradeTime=TimeCurrent();
if ( EnableTrading ){ if ( openTrades < maxOpenOrders && GetTickCount() >= TradeTime * tradeTimeWaitINmin * 60 *1000 /* TimeCurrent() >= TradeTime * ( tradeTimeWaitINmin * 60) */ ){ trade logic ... if ( trade successfull... ) TradeTime=GetTickCount();
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to open next trade at least 15 min from last trade ...
From the last trade being opened or from the last trade being closed ?
from last trade being open... so lets say t0 pos 1 opens... at t15 (assuming trend is still holding) open pos 2
you could do an OrderSelect() loop to find the newest open trade and then do
int ibar = iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M1,OrderOpenTime()); if(ibar>15) // .... it was more than 15 minutes ago
from last trade being open... so lets say t0 pos 1 opens... at t15 (assuming trend is still holding) open pos 2
not sure why my code didn't show up... if ( EnableTrading ){ if ( openTrades < maxOpenOrders && TradeTime != Time[0] ){ trade(); if ( trade_successful ){ TradeTime = Time[0];}}}
Time[0] seem to work as long as I'm on 15 chart, change to another or reload opens another pos
not sure why my code didn't show up...
if ( EnableTrading ){ if ( openTrades < maxOpenOrders && TradeTime != Time[0] ){ trade(); if ( trade_successful ){ TradeTime = Time[0];}}}
