User seeks to modify code to detect signals after a few seconds instead of at candle open

Thanks eevviill, but my skills are too complicated. I'm starting out with programming, they are self-taught and it's hard for me to understand some things.
Thanks for everything, Massimo.

Thanks eevviill, your code works, but I'm not from the signal after three seconds that opened the candle, but if, for example, RSI is above level 70 after 30 seconds that the candle is open, the code lets 3/2 yet and then brings up the arrow.
For now the code that comes closest is the one who suggested I GumRai, but gives me the signal and sets the opening of the candle and not after 3 seconds.

Thanks for everything, Massimo.

int start(){
if (BarStart !=Time[0]) 
{
  BarStart = Time[0]; 
//This is the code suggested by GumRai. This works well, but the arrow appears and fixed the opening of the candle, instead of 3 seconds after its opening.

Better to write it first and not "I need every 3 seconds alert."

   static datetime BarStart=0;
   static bool check=false;
   if(BarStart!=Time[0])
     {
      BarStart=Time[0];
      check=true;
     }
   if(check && TimeCurrent()>=Time[0]+3)
     {
      check=false;
      //Check Condition
     }

This should check at the first received tick that is at least 3 seconds after the bar open time

Note that if the bar has been open n seconds when the indicator is initialized and n is >3, it will be checked at that time. Also, obviously, it will not work with historical bars.

1)I would like to modify this code so that the alert, instead of appearing at the opening of the candle, detects the conditions after a few seconds.

2)but I'm not from the signal after three seconds that opened the candle

P.S. Do not use Time[0], use Bars

What is your point?

Why not? There is nothing wrong with using Time[0] to detect a new bar.

Hi guys, you are great !!!
I do not know how to thank you for your cooperation.
The code posted eevviill works very well, that's what I meant.
The GumRai code instead makes repaint and give the signal whenever the RSI crosses the 30/70 levels.
I insert the working code according to eevviill suggestions, hoping that it will serve some more.

Thanks for everything, Massimo.
