How can you limit the number of orders in each bar?

[JFonseca]

Hi,

I´m coding my system,and I´m having some problems trying to limit the number of open orders for each bar. In my system, the decision is made in the opening of a new bar, and if the conditions aren´t perfect, the EA should only reanalyse in the opening of next bar.

I´ve tryed Volume[0] > 10, but sometimes it opens 2 orders because the EA runs a second time before Volume [0]>10 and sometimes it doesn´t open any order because the Volume goes past 10 very quickly.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have also already tried with Open[0] and with Time[0] and none worked. I found out that when the EA returns to the beggining, it forgets the XY value.

I did this:

datetime XY;
Print ("before if XY = ", XY)
if (XY != Time[0])
{
Execute program
}
XY = Time [0];
Print ("End of program XY = ", XY)
return (0);
}

What´s wrong with this? How can I fix it?

Thanks,

Hi,

I already found out what the problem was. I declared a local variable, and should have declared a global variable.
