Here's my code... Thanks in advance.
//| Expert initialization function |

int OnInit()

return(0);
}

{

//Why does BarCount have to be == 1?
int BarCount = 1;
if(CopyRates(_Symbol,_Period,0,BarCount,rt)!=BarCount)
{
Print("CopyRates of ",_Symbol," failed");
Print(_LastError);
return;
}
//Exit unless it's a new bar (with 0 volume)
if(rt[0].tick_volume>1) return;
//Get the times...
datetime times[];
int time_ = CopyTime(NULL, 0, 0, 1,times);
Print("Checking @ " + string(times[0]) + " " + string(rt[0].open));
