Thread: Max trade per bar

Here is the "max trade per bar" enhanced.

Just after the extern parameters, add :

Code:

extern int MaxTradePerBar=1;

datetime Time0;int TradePerBar=0;int BarCount=-1;

Then just after, add this :

Code:

int init(){Time0=Time[0];return(0);}
int deinit(){return(0);}

Add in-line, following each condition (buy and sell) :

Code:

&&(TradePerBar<=MaxTradePerBar)

Just after the conditions :

Code:

if(BarCount!=Bars){TradePerBar=0;BarCount=Bars;}

Before each OrderSend function :

Code:

if(Time0!=Time[0]){

After each OrderSend function :

Code:

Time0=Time[0];if(ticket>0)TradePerBar++;

Don't forget the } at the end.

An alternative :

At the end of the expert, add :

Code:

bool NewBar()
{
if(PreviousBarTime<Time[0])
{
PreviousBarTime = Time[0];
return(true);
}

return(false); // in case if - else statement is not executed
}

In the conditions, add :

Code:

&&NewBar()

And finally, after the extern parameters, add :

Code:

datetime PreviousBarTime;

Hi jpsaltuc and welcome,

In the functions, add :

Code:

int CountOrders(int Type,int Magic)
{
   int _CountOrd;
   _CountOrd=0;
   for(int i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)
   {
      OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
      if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
      {
         if((OrderType()==Type&&(OrderMagicNumber()==Magic)||Magic==0))_CountOrd++;
      }
   }
   return(_CountOrd);
}

Before the Buy OrderSend function, add :

Code:

ILots=Lots-CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic)*DecreaseLots;

Before the Sell OrderSend function, add :

Code:

ILots=Lots-CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic)*DecreaseLots;

Inline in each OrderSend function replace :

Code:

Lots

By :

Code:

ILots

After the extern parameters, add :

Code:

double ILots;

In the extern parameters, Add :

Code:

extern double DecreaseLots=0.01;

Also replace Magic by your magic number's name.
