How to stop EA from Trading
if(OrderTotal==0 && Moving_Average_Cross){ Trade_Condition=true; }
if( Trade_Condition==true ){OrderSend(); Trade_Condition=false; }
Lets start with that since we cannot see your codes.
If you want it to trade only once and never again. Then:
static bool is_Traded_Once;
if( is_Traded_Once==false && Moving_Average_Cross){ Trade_Condition=true; }
if( Trade_Condition==true ){OrderSend(); is_Traded_Once==true; Trade_Condition=false;}
If you want it to trade only once and never again. Then:
static bool is_Traded_Once;
if( is_Traded_Once==false && Moving_Average_Cross){ Trade_Condition=true; }
if( Trade_Condition==true ){OrderSend(); is_Traded_Once==true; }
is it not the case that the code is re-run every "tick" ?
so would this code not return static bool is_Traded_Once to 0 at the new tick ?
No - Static or Global Variables Keep their values between Ticks.
really ? and creating a static variable is as easy as that ? just to name it ?
thank you
If you want it to trade only once and never again on StopLoss or Break Even.
static bool is_StopLoss_BreakEven;
if( Order_Select_History==true) {
If(Order_Profit <= 0) { is_StopLoss_BreakEven=true; }
}
if( is_StopLoss_BreakEven==false && OrderTotal==0 && Moving_Average_Cross){ Trade_Condition=true; }
if( Trade_Condition==true ){OrderSend(); Trade_Condition=false;}

I have a problem
I have a simple EA which trades when two moving average indicators cross - simple enough. I want to use this on the hour candle and the problem I have is that if the trade condition is true, the trade will occur - which is fine.
If the trade stops out - this is also fine either at break even or stop loss.
BUT
If the trade stops out AND the conditions are still true for a trade, the EA will trade again.
I know there is code which permits the EA to only trade once on the formation of a new candle, but that does not work for me.
I need code which allows the EA to trade only once, while trading condition is true - and then not again if stop out happens for whatever reason.
Can anyone help me with this problem ?
I have looked through code and can not see a solution.....
