How to check for closed trades?

[rookie_forawhile]

Hi fellow coders,

I am trying to figure out how to stop my EA from trading if there was a trade in lets say last 5 bars. It should be relatively simple but I cant get it done.

I came up with this code, where LastTradeBar is extern int and I set it to ie. 5.

bool LastTrade=False;

for (int i1 = 0; i1 < OrdersHistoryTotal(); i1 ++)

{

OrderSelect(i1, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);

if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && iBarShift(NULL,0,OrderCloseTime())<LastTradeBar)

{

LastTrade = True;

}

}

However, when I add LastTrade=False into my entry conditions it never trades. It seems that it is always true, but why???

Thank you.
