Hello guys i have this idea i wish to implement into my EA, this idea involve waiting one hour after my order has been close that is either if TP or SL is hit and i have been thinking and came up with this so guy please i need your help.

below is my attempt, is it correct? or should there be any changes. THANK IN ADVANCE.

if(OneHour()==1)
{
OrderSend(...)
}

int OneHour()
  {
   int HasItBeenAnHourSinceLastTrade=0;

   for(int i=0; i<OrdersHistoryTotal(); i++)
     {
      if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY))
        {
         if(OrderSymbol()==_Symbol && OrderMagicNumber()==magic_number)
           {
            if(TimeCurrent() - OrderCloseTime() > 3600)
              {
               HasItBeenAnHourSinceLastTrade++;
              }
           }
        }
     }
   return(HasItBeenAnHourSinceLastTrade);
  }
Tomorrow is far away but yesterday is so close.

Hi Wamski,

Not a bad attempt.......but let's see if we can improve it a bit.....

if(OneHour()){ //you don't need to check if ==1 just use OneHour() or !OneHour()
   Ordersend.......
}

bool OneHour()
{
   for(int i=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1;i>=0; i--){ //it is good practice to count your loops downwards......make it a habit
      if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY)){
         if(OrderSymbol()==_Symbol && OrderMagicNumber()==magic_number){
            if(TimeCurrent() - OrderCloseTime() < 3600)return(false); //checking if there is an order younger than 1 hour not older
         }
      }
   }
   return(true);
}

Basically you loop through all your orders. the moment it detects one younger than 1 hour, it immediately returns false(no point looking any further).

Hope it helps.

Also just remember that you start your loop at OrdersHistoryTotal() -1 because the orderselect by position is indexed from zero it your first order is 0, not 1.

if( OneHour() )
   {
      // OrderSend(...)
   }
   
   // ...

bool OneHour()
{
   datetime OneHourBack = TimeCurrent() - 3600;
   
   for( int i = OrdersHistoryTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i-- )
   {
      if( OrderSelect( i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY ) )
      {
         if( ( OrderSymbol() == _Symbol ) &&
             ( OrderMagicNumber() == magic_number ) )
         {
            if( OrderCloseTime() >= OneHourBack )
               return( false );
         }
      }
   }

   return( true );
}

The above code is the correct one, i posted this so that in the future, if someone should have this same problem and research, the answer/solution will be available in the internet.

NOTICE: what this piece of code does is is delay trade operation for one hour if TP or SL is hit
