HELP!! How to make EA stop and Starts

 

I'm trying to make an EA to

  • only trigger when there's a Sell signal and will trade for the amount of candle sticks required.
  • stops trading after the number of candle stick has been reached
  • Wait till there's a buy signal
  • Triggers once there's a new sell signal

I was able to get the EA trigger on sell signal and stops once the number of candle sticks are met, but I can't get it to trigger again after the new sell signal. 


#include <Trade\Trade.mqh>

CTrade trade;

input double duration                        =10; //Number of Candle sticks 
input double Lot_Size                       = 0.2; // Lot size
input int Stop_Loss                         = 20;  //Stop Loss
input int Take_Profit                       = 80; //Take Profit

int sellCheck = 0;
int check = 0;
int strp =0;
int candleCounter =0;
