Code to prevent more trades

Hello there,

I'm coding an EA, but have the problem of the EA keep opening orders after a trade is close as long as the conditions are met. (i.e. supose 2 MA lines when cross is the condition to get in the trade. The EA opens a trade, and if it gets closed on its TP or whatever value, the EA will open another trade and so on. There's ALWAYS an open trade).

So, what I want is to limit the EA to open just one trade after a condition is met, until another condition is met. No matter it takes 5 mins or 19 days until it happens again.... just ONE trade.

I guess is something simple, but I'm learning coding. Hope someone can help.

Cheers

if you are using something like :

if(ma1>ma2)

{

ticket= OrderSend(.....)

}

rather add another 2 ma values that use the index 1 for the last candle...then make the criteria like this :

prevma1=iMA(Symbol(),0,30,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);

prevma2=iMA(Symbol(),0,50,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); -- looks at last candle

now use it like this :

if(prevma1<prevma2&&ma1>ma2)

this will check if the ma's have changed from 1 condition to another.....

also you can add Vloume[0]<5 to the crteria to make sure there are not multiple signals per candle cos of ma's crossing and uncrossing and crossing again.

so :

if(Volume[0]<5&&prevma1<prevma2&&ma1>ma2)

{

ticket = Ordersend(...)

}

Hello 23510

Thanks a lot for your inputs; however, as a newbie, I wonder where in the code this goes, and how to use it if have defined variables as follows?

I really appreciate very much your help.

Here's the code:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Signal Begin(Entry) |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

if (Buy1_1 > Buy1_2 && Buy2_1 > Buy2_2 && Buy3_1 > Buy3_2) Order = SIGNAL_BUY;

if (Sell1_1 > Sell1_2 && Sell2_1 < Sell2_2 && Sell3_1 < Sell3_2) Order = SIGNAL_SELL;

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Signal End |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//Buy
if (Order == SIGNAL_BUY && ((EachTickMode && !TickCheck) || (!EachTickMode && (Bars != BarCount)))) {
if(!IsTrade) {
//Check free margin
if (AccountFreeMargin() < (1000 * Lots)) {
Print("We have no money. Free Margin = ", AccountFreeMargin());
return(0);
}

if (UseStopLoss) StopLossLevel = Ask - StopLoss * Point; else StopLossLevel = 0.0;
if (UseTakeProfit) TakeProfitLevel = Ask + TakeProfit * Point; else TakeProfitLevel = 0.0;

Ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, Slippage, StopLossLevel, TakeProfitLevel, "Buy(#" + MagicNumber + ")", MagicNumber, 0, DodgerBlue);
if(Ticket > 0) {
if (OrderSelect(Ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES)) {
Print("BUY order opened : ", OrderOpenPrice());
if (SignalMail) SendMail("[Signal Alert]", "[" + Symbol() + "] " + DoubleToStr(Ask, Digits) + " Open Buy");
} else {
Print("Error opening BUY order : ", GetLastError());
}
}
if (EachTickMode) TickCheck = True;
if (!EachTickMode) BarCount = Bars;
return(0);
}
}
