Pause for a tick
-
I have developed an EA that works on M1 chart but I need it to pause for at least 1 tick after the new M1 period starts before it works through the trade opening conditions. Any suggestions to do this will be much appreciated.
-
The reason for this is that I have a condition that is meant to compare the previous period low price with the low price of the previous 10 periods starting with the previous plus 1 period (candle ID 2). However, in backtesting the EA sometimes is behind and uses the 10 periods back starting with candle ID 3.

You can just use the seconds filter block, allow seconds from 2 to 60... But its weird that the EA sometimes uses ID 3 and sometimes ID 2, the real problem might be elsewhere

Yes I am not sure why it's doing this.

@roar do you know if the seconds filter starts at 0? So if I filter 1 to 60 will the EA start at 1 second past the minute? I am also wondering if every n ticks could work. Basically I want the EA to wait for one tick to happen in the new period before continuuing with the calculations for opening a trade.
