You can do something like this . . .

int TF = Period_M5;   //  what timeframe do you need ?

datetime LastBarTF;

//  Time of the current bar, updated for each tick
datetime CurrentBarTF = iTime(NULL, TF, 1 );


if (CurrentBarTF2 != LastBarTF )   //return if current bar hasn't finished
   { 
   //  do stuff in here that you want to do at the first tick of the new bar
        
   LastBarTF = iTime(NULL, TF, 1 );  
   }

hi Raptor,

thanks.

let me try to make some sense of your code..

datetime CurrentBarTF = iTime(NULL, TF, 1 ); will keep showing the same value due to the time frame defined, till the next 5 min is reached?

thanks.

Till the next 5 min Bar arrives . . . yes.
