Only check price (or do certain actions) after each candle close

[giobenoni]

Hi,

Probably newbie question (that's what i am),

I would like to do certain actions (like check price, change variables) based on Candle close actions rather than on each tick.

Could somebody provide me with sample code or another post for me to learn. Found some topics but i'm confused 

It would help me a lot.

thanks,

Hello you can read all the information about handling new bar at the following link

https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/159

or you can simply use this code:

datetime NewCandleTime=TimeCurrent();
bool IsNewCandle(){
   if(NewCandleTime==iTime(Symbol(),0,0)) return false;
   else{
      NewCandleTime=iTime(Symbol(),0,0);
      return true;
   }
}
 
void OnTick(){
 
   if(IsNewCandle()){
   
   }
 
}
