I am trying to include the following logic in my EA and would like help

[MarcioDomingues]

Hi, I am trying to include the following logic in my EA and would like help;

If the result of the last transaction is TakeProfit - Wait 5 minutes to start the next operation.

If the result of the last transaction is StopLoss - Wait 5 minutes to start the next operation.

If the result of the last transaction is BreakEven - Wait 5 minutes to start the next operation.

I have the settings working for TakeProfit, StopLoss and BreakEven, but all the logic I tried to apply to wait 5 minutes for the next operation did not bring satisfactory results.

I tried with "Sleep (300000);"  but in this case, the EA only delayed the start of the operation after the signal that happened 5 minutes before, but what I need is for the EA to evaluate if there is a signal to enter just 5 minutes after the negotiations with StopLoss, TakeProfit and BreakEven.

Follow codes for evaluation (as the code is large, I highlighted only the lines of OnTick () with the logic for operations; In the case below, the EA is evaluating the signal but the operation takes 5 minutes after the signal, and in fact what I need is for the EA to evaluate the + signal and start the operation after 5 minutes;

***

Another attempt I made was the logic below, but in this case the EA stopped sending orders;  "Boolean" part;

***

And I added the condition in the code for operations below;

***

Have you tried to apply similar logic?  The objective is to give the EA time to reconsider the condition and the input signal after a stoploss or takeprofit and not to enter immediately after the stoploss or takeprofit.  I appreciate if you can help.

MarcioDomingues :

The algorithm should be as follows: declare a variable of the datetime type in the expert header. When your event fires, write the time into a variable.

In the signal search block, check the condition: if the difference between the current time and the time in the variable is less than five minutes, you should not search for a signal.

Thank you very much, I will test and let you know if it worked
