Code optimization EA

[shahram jafari]

Hello, I wrote an expert that has no logic errors and works in the backtest. The execution speed limit in the code below runs with a delay of 3 to 5 candles. I would be grateful if someone could answer the following questions.

According to the code and skin image given, is there a way to reduce this delay in the operation?

void CheckForSignal()

{

//---

      double Up = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,"SSL3_1",3,0);

      double Down = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,"SSL3_1",4,0);

      double Up1 = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,"ec-a",0,0);

      double Down1 = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,"ec-a",1,0);    

     if(Up != EMPTY_VALUE && Up1 != EMPTY_VALUE  )

     {           

      if((Close_Opposite_Signal && OpenOrders(OP_SELL) > 0) )

         CloseTrade(OP_SELL);

      if((!Hedging && OpenOrders(OP_SELL) == 0 && OpenOrders(OP_BUY) == 0) || Hedging )

         EnterTrade(OP_BUY);            

     }

     else if (Down != EMPTY_VALUE && Down1 != EMPTY_VALUE)

     {

      if((Close_Opposite_Signal && OpenOrders(OP_BUY) > 0)  )

         CloseTrade(OP_BUY);

      if((!Hedging && OpenOrders(OP_BUY) == 0 && OpenOrders(OP_SELL) == 0) || Hedging )

         EnterTrade(OP_SELL);   

     }     

}

1. Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?
             General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum? (2017)
   Next time, post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

2. Do you really expect an answer? There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked, so we can't see your machine.
        How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. (2004)
             Be precise and informative about your problem

   Always post all relevant code (using Code button) or attach the source file.

3. You posted a function. Any delay is because of your delay in calling it. Or it is because you are looking at the forming candle instead of the just completed one.
   

   Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why. Do you really expect us to debug your code for you?
