Adding simple Order entry Delay?

[[Deleted]]

I have been trying to figure out how to put in a time or bar delay for a Market Order entry. I have seen

a lot of examples.But as I have said before, because there are many ways of doing the code and many

doing it, just makes it harder for me and some others still learning the code. What I am trying to do is:

add a time Delay on a 1 minute chart entry. For example : Order entry + 9min = New Order entry. Or it

could be 9 bars because it will always be a 1 min. chart used for order entry criteria. This is a scalp EA

that uses multiple currency alignment. external double delay = 9.0;

1. Bar delay

   static datetime LastEntryDetected;
   int iBar = iBarShift(NULL,0, LastEntryDetected);
   if (delay = iBar){ 
      // open now
   }
   else{
      // test for entry
      if (condition) LastEntryDetected = Time[0];
   }

   ---

2. Time delay

   static datetime LastEntryDetected;
   if (TimeCurrent() > LastEntryDetected + delay * Period() * 60){
      // open now
   }
   else{
      // test for entry
      if (condition) LastEntryDetected = Time[0];
   }

You can't trade from an Indicator . . .
