Attached to each symbol said like EURUSD, and gbpusd after number of wait is completed it loop in to another pair time and

Made the pair to wait again ,there by creating corusion between the two pair symbols..like interference in wait time of each pair

I have other orderselected it yet its doesn't work properly when its attach to 1pair only

Its has no problem when attached to only 1 pair symbol on the chart  but has problem of endless wait loop when attached

To two pairs symbol on the chart.. Pls any assistance is applicated.thanks

Here is the code...

If(localtime() - lasttradetime > 50)
Comment(50second passed)

You're better off putting your trading logic in OnTimer if that's what you're doing...

Yes you are correct I want to put it on timer after the time expires the EA can trade any tick

But how can I do that, this one above works well when you attach it on one symbol, but fails

In timing when another symbol or pair is add...any more help pls

I recommend

Do not trade multiple currencies in one EA

• You can't use any predefined variables, can't use the tester, must poll (not OnTick,) and usually other problems, e.g A problem with iBarShift - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - MQL4 programming forum - Page 2
• Code it to trade the chart pair only. Look at the others if you must. (Don't assume that Time[i] == iTime(otherPair,tf, i) always use iBarShift.)
• Then put it on other charts to trade the other pairs. Done.
