Hi
try placing your orders only on the formation of a new bar... and not on tick.
Thank you.

Thank you.
I don't know how to do this, but I try...
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return true if a new bar appears for the symbol/period pair | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool isNewBar() { //--- remember the time of opening of the last bar in the static variable static datetime last_time=0; //--- current time datetime lastbar_time=SeriesInfoInteger(Symbol(),Period(),SERIES_LASTBAR_DATE); //--- if it is the first call of the function if(last_time==0) { //--- set time and exit last_time=lastbar_time; return(false); } //--- if the time is different if(last_time!=lastbar_time) { //--- memorize time and return true last_time=lastbar_time; return(true); } //--- if we pass to this line then the bar is not new, return false return(false); }
This is how you do it.

Was the trade operation executed at the current bar or at the previous one? If a trade robot cannot perform this kind of verifications, then any trade strategy can turn into a losing one.

Hello,
I've a problem to understand the deep process of the execution types...
Today I've a system based on bid and ask movements - with no indicators - updated at each tick. When I use tester optimisation, I've very stable trading system with 1mnOHLC solution. But if I use every tick or open execution type, on a 1mn timeframe, I've bad results. I don't understand the meaning of this situation and, of course, the system has bad result in realtime paper trading. To highlight the situation, I precise that it is not a scalping system but a TP/SL 200/200 system.
My questions :
1 - Does 1mnOHLC significant ? How does it use ? Why do I have very stable results in this situation ?? How can I modify trading system to approach in realtime the same result ??
2 - What can I have (very) different results in M1 timeframe with these different execution types ?!?
3 - In particular, how can I have very different result when I compare 1mnOHLC/Open execution with M1 timeframe ?!? In both reports, I've the same number of tick bar...
If you can highlight me...
