Trigger on only new bar

[chris.dotan]

hi,

int start()
  {
   if(NewBar()==true)
     {
   double sma6 = iMA (Symbol(), 0,6, 0, MODE_SMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0);
       Sleep(2000);  
                 //buy
                if (sma6<Close[0])
                 {   SaveInfoMovingAverageToTheFile("BUY");
                   //  Sleep(15000);  
                    // FileDelete(_Symbol+"_"+"_movingAverage_"+TimeFrameToString(Period())+".txt",0);
                  //  FileDelete("EURUSD_movingAverage_M1.txt",0);
                 }
                 
                 //sell
                 if (sma6>Close[0])
                 {   
                    SaveInfoMovingAverageToTheFile("SELL");
                  //  Sleep(15000);  
                   // FileDelete("EURUSD_movingAverage_M1.txt",0);
                 //   FileDelete(_Symbol+"_"+"_movingAverage_"+TimeFrameToString(Period())+".txt",0);
                 }      

     }

}

This code works but problem is because works imediatelly when add indicator on Chart.
So how can I use this code on the next new bar ?

If I have chart 1 hour I need to start with next hour and then always use with next new bar?

Read the following. Pay careful attention to the comments in the code.
