CODING HELP NEEDED PLEASE!

[jeasuquo]

Can someone please help me with a code that can enable an ea to execute one trade per currency pair per day without constraining chart period to PERIOD_D1 and using "if(Volume[0] > 1) return(0);".

i you find a way to make the letters even more bigger maybe someone would notice it.

if you can program show some code so we can help.

if you can't you have two possiblitys. learn to code or pay someone.

I'm feeling kind so will offer following uncompiled, untested code

static datetime lastTrade = 0;
...
bool doTrade = false;
if(tradeTrigger == true)
{
   doTrade = true;
   // wait! do we REALLY allow trade?
   if(TimeCurrent() < lastTrade + 3600*24)
      doTrade = false; // only allow once per 24 hours
   if(TimeCurrent()/86400 == lastTrade/86400)
      doTrade = false; // only allow once per 00:00 - 23:59 period
}
if(doTrade)
{
   OrderSend(...);
   lastTrade = TimeCurrent();
}

1. Volume is unreliable (skip ticks). Bars is unreliable (stops changing at max bars in chart.) Always use Time

   static datetime Time0;  bool    newBar  = Time0 < Time[0];
   if (!newBar) return(0);                   Time0 = Time[0];
   

   Or iTime(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 0) instead of Time[0]

2. if(TimeCurrent()/86400 == lastTrade/86400) doTrade = false;

   This will prevent a new trade in the same day. If you want to prevent trading for 24 hours

   bool dotrade = (TimeCurrent() >= lastTrade+86400);
