How to open order

[Trader1529]

count();
      if(condition01==1)
         {
         tick=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lot,Ask,5,0,0,"condition1",magic,0,clrGreen);
         time1=Time[0];

Good morning,

I'm writing an Expert Advisor, but I need to open the order at the closure of the candle and not immediately when the condition meet. There is a   function to do it? Or how I can write it? Can someone please help me? What I wrote it sends the order immediately, but how can I modify it to send it at the closure of the candle?

Hey there. Try adding if(IsNewBar) condition. Here are the parameters. Since the beginning of a new candle is the end of an old one this should work.

      static datetime Old_Time;
      datetime New_Time[1];
      bool IsNewBar=false;

      // copying the last bar time to the element New_Time[0]
      int copied=CopyTime(_Symbol,_Period,0,1,New_Time);
      if(copied>0) // ok, the data has been copied successfully
        {
         if(Old_Time!=New_Time[0]) // if old time isn't equal to new bar time
           {
            IsNewBar=true;   // if it isn't a first call, the new bar has appeared
            if(MQL5InfoInteger(MQL5_DEBUGGING))
               Print("We have new bar here ",New_Time[0]," old time was ",Old_Time);
            Old_Time=New_Time[0];            // saving bar time
           }
        }
      else
        {
         Alert("Error in copying historical times data, error =",GetLastError());
         ResetLastError();
         return;
        }
      if(IsNewBar)

This is my expert advisor coded in MQL4.

How can I send the order at the opening of the new candle? Where I have to write your code?

I am new to programming and MQL5 and I've been studying MQL5 but right now I need to learn how to send order. I've used the MQL5 documentation but I still can't get it right. Please can anyone assist me, thanks.

Example: at the moment of the birth of a new bar, a position of 1.0 lot is opened.
