Order after a certain amount of time

cape1354 2017.10.28 17:49

Soon after the loss occurs, the order will go further and further losses will occur.

After the loss, I want to place an interval between the following order

Can you tell me where the problem is?

Even if I use it, it does not make any difference when I are not using it.

```
 total=OrdersTotal();  
   if(total<1)   
```
Using OrdersTotal directly and/or no Magic number filtering on your OrderSelect loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual trading.)

            ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,10,0,0,"MA",MagicNo,0,Blue);              
            return(0);

Check your return codes for errors and report them.

Are you sure you want to use bar zero? You will intermittently get vanishing crosses.

       if(TimeCurrent() < OrderCloseTime()+Pause_time*60*60 ){
         LastOrderCon =False;
         }
       if(TimeCurrent() >= OrderCloseTime()+Pause_time*60*60){
         LastOrderCon =True;
         }
         }  
      if(OrderProfit()>0){
         LastOrderCon =True;
         }
