timedelay is a bool,  a bool is true or false . . .   so you don't need to say . . .

if(true == true) 

 you can simply write . . .

if(true)

 and specifically in the case of your code . . .

if(timedelay)

RaptorUK:

So you want the Order placed at the open of the 01:35 bar ? 

After your sleep BarTime equals 0,  this is less than Time[0]  so BuyOrder1 is called . . .   try this . . .

 

 By the way . . .  timedelay=true  should give an error ? 

I did exactly the same way u told, but still the EA works the same way....am just too confused.

Ah,  yes . . .  make BarTime a static . . .

You probably need to do the same for timedelay

[mnatarajan63]

ok dudes, i tried this way, and it worked for me...

thanks for helping all the way.....

    if (TimeHour(TimeCurrent()) == 1 && TimeMinute(TimeCurrent()) == 28)
    {
       BarTime = Time[0];
       Sleep(300000);
       timedelay=true;
       
     }
 
    if (  (Time[0]-BarTime) > (Time[0]-Time[1])&&timedelay )
    {
      BuyOrder1();
      
     }
