Open position when the candle opens close position when the candle closes

[Nehemiah7]

MQL5 the project is this: after a bull candle signal i buy. after a bear candle signal I sell. on the other hand, i've been very careful to put the signal type of both candles on Once Per Bar. However it doesn't respect that. for example if a bullish candle appear, it opens a buy position but if during the position, the bulish candle become a bearish one, it close automatically the position and open a sell position; though I have put on the Once per Bar signal in both candles. How can I solve it? thanks in advance

@nehemiah7 Can you please share your project?

[Nehemiah7]

@l-andorrà there you are https://fxdreema.com/shared/muqMugCSc
thank you

@nehemiah7 You should specify 'candle ID 1' on blocks 2 and 3 and not candle ID 0 as it is now.

[Nehemiah7]

@l-andorrà OKay let me try this out

[Nehemiah7]

@l-andorrà it works fine thantks. but another thing is that I want each position to last the duration of one candle. in other words, if the position doesn't hit the stop loss or the Take profit, I want it closed at the end of the candle. how can I do that? thank you.

There is a time variant block , I'm on my phone atm but , close after 4 hrs ect if your using 4 hr chart . Block will close after set time period pretty easy.

@mcarl42 Mcarl is right. You can determine the duration of your trade here:

Hello;
This structure tries working.
When the candle closes, it closes the transaction.

[Nehemiah7]

@dragonfly617 let me try that out

[l'andorrà]

@dragonfly617 Block 7 should be below block 10, not above.

[Nehemiah7]

I must have missed something it's not working!!!!!

@nehemiah7 Question - Does EA open order but not close properly?

This is what we do, after the order is opened, it must close the orders at the 3rd candle close.

[Nehemiah7]

@dragonfly617 does the numeric value refer to the timeframee the candle? I though it was refering to the timeframe!

[Nehemiah7]

@fxdreema I need your help on this one.
