Hi Everyone. I'm trying to make something to add to my EA that means after it closes a trade at a loss the EA 'sleeps' for X amount of time but I'm stuck on how to do it.

Is there any way to record balance say every hour then current balance can be compared to that for example?

Hi,

Simply check at the trade history.

If last order closed < 0, then don't open new trades until timecurrent() > LastOrderclosedtime()+X

Like CrazyTrader said you need to check trade history first. And to sleep for X times, you only need to start a timer that will set a flag.

you can modify it in order to open only .01 lot the next trade..
