Preventing EA from taking subsequent trades after conditions are met

[Louisemileg]

Hey guys,

I don't know if this is possible but I wanted to know if there exists such a condition/code that I could add to my current EA such that it does not enter a trade until my previously stated conditions are met AGAIN. 

For understanding purposes, let's pretend that my EA enters a buy if the RSI is above 50. Now, once the RSI is above 50, I enter a buy trade. Now let's pretend that moments later, my TP is hit but the RSI is still above 50 but higher (~80 zone), technically, my EA would enter another buy trade although I would like it to wait out until the RSI goes down below 50 and reaches back up.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

You could try setting up a counting system for when it crosses 50 and only open if the count changes...

Louisemileg: my EA enters a buy if the RSI is above 50.

1. Your signal is RSI>50
2. Don't look for a signal. Look for a change in signal

   static bool isSignal=false;
   bool wasSignal = isSignal; isSignal = RSI > 50;
   if(isSignal && !wasSignal) ..
