Creating an Expert Advisor

[Barno_07]

I just wanted to contact you guys through e-mail. I m learning MQL4 and need your help in that. I want to create an Expert Advisor which will operate my orders in every 1 minutes and 5 minutes candlesticks. But it is only working in Hourly candlesticks. It would be great if you look into my problem and help me with some codes.

Thank you,

Barnadeep

you can store the last time of the 5m bar and check if it's not the same for the new one , then you have a new bar on the 5 min time-frame and you can put your code in this block

you can do like this in both 1M and 5M

datetime lastbar=iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M1,100);
void onTick()
{
if(iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M1,0)!=lastbar)
{
//do some thing , you have now a new bar opening and the code will run once at each opening

   lastbar=iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M1,0);
}
else
//do something else

}
