How to create a loop for an MT4 indicator

[Jimmy Jay]

Hi guys,

I have an indicator that exports historical price data to csv files. I'm not much of a coder and am having trouble with this.

What I'd really, really appreciate it would be if someone would be able to help where and how to put a loop in the indicator, details are as follows:

1. The indicator runs (once I click on it)

2. It exports to csv (which it already does)

3. Waits 60 seconds and then runs through again exporting to a csv

So I guess something like this - [loop starts] [indicator runs] [waits 60 seconds] [loops back to the start and indicator runs again].

If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks a lot. James

The indicator is attached.
