One trade per order.... - page 2

[Eaglehawk]

Your still trying to solve this? sorry (i don't know how i got so distracted). i've done a little bit of fiddling by adding variables "Occur" and "newtrenddistance".

i use a variable, usually called something "Occur", to check and make sure a process isn't done twice. the second one, newtrenddistance, is because i haven't taken the time to determine how much time your scalper has to make a desicsion if the trend has changed or not. i've assumed you've wanted to use closes to determine a new trend also.

basically, i added the few expressions,

OrderSelect(LastTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_HISTORY);

Occur = True;

if((OrderType() == OP_SELL && iClose(NULL,0,1) > iClose(NULL,0,newtrenddistance)) || (OrderType() == OP_BUY && iClose(NULL,0,1) < iClose(NULL,0,newtrenddistance)))

{

Occur = False;

}

if(Occur == False)

{

OrderSend.....................;

}

i'm not sure if this is going to execute perfectly what i had in mind, or live up to your complete desires from this addition, but it sparks an idea.

sorry, but i didn't have time to test it.

add this code to your trading instruction Example
if ( LastPosSellPos()==true && PositionsTotal()<1)
  {
   trade.Buy
  }
//Viceversa for sell trade
