Limit trade quantity to one

Hello guys,

I have an EA that works fine, it is a price action strategy, however, I am having a little problem.
Once the signal is generated, the trade is placed and the limit reached, it places another trade again, and again, and I end up losing what I made.

I need to tell the EA to just place one trade per signal, and ignore all subsequent trades until an opposite trade arises.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

another switch ... limit reached 1/0 or true/false .... at the beginning of your trade signal place this switch .... trade or return{0}

-time based
-bar based
-order based (open,closed, history)
-profit based

many many options....
no one can fix this without code!

Thanks guys.

buy history sample, must be extended with tp code

   int CountBuyHistoryOrders(){
     int buycount=0;
      if(OrdersHistoryTotal()>0){
        for(int w=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1;w>=0;w--){
         if(OrderSelect(w,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY))
         if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber()!=Magic)continue;
         if(OrderOpenTime()<iTime(NULL,1440,0))break;
         if(OrderType()==OP_BUY || OrderType()==OP_BUYLIMIT || OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP)if(OrderOpenTime()>=iTime(NULL,1440,0))buycount++;
      }
   }
   return(buycount);
 }

the framing with the conservatism on leaving of the different offers with the focus of objection on referring ones to work with the initials on trader to gains of the limitation on order creation with the notice of preference as recognizing alert of incoming option.

Thanks IXBONE,

But, where do I place this code?

Should I send you the EA via pm so you can add?

Thanks!

Or you could try this.

int Sell = 1,Buy = 2,Last_Order = 1;

if( Last_Order == Sell && OrdersTotal() == 0 && Signal == Buy)
{

    //Place Buy order here.
    
      Last_Order = Buy;
}


if( Last_Order == Buy && OrdersTotal() == 0 && Signal == Sell)
{

    //Place Sell order here.

     Last_Order = Sell;
}

Price_action,

Where do I place this code?
I add it to the EA and I get an error 'Signal undeclared Identifier'

Thank you!

is that really ther is string of Last_order to work with the mql scripting? or those are returns of function switching with the initials?

Hector Mestril,

I posted two examples last night and now i don't see them. Here is a re-post.

I wrote two EA examples that demonstrates what you want.

EA_Example1 uses global variables to store the last order as in my previous post.

EA_Example2 uses order history to get previous order as IXBONE had suggested.

Hope this Helps.
