How to delay EA from action (first candel)

[Archer]

Hello Forum,

So I basically don't want an EA to work straightaway when applied to the chart.
EA should start work on the first tick of the next bar that opens.
Can someone assist me with a solution please ?

@archer This condition will only pass at the open of a candle, I am assuming that flags start on false but I believe they do.

I appreciate you reply.
I followed your suggestion, however EA did open a new position immediately after adding on the chart and did not wait for the next candle to open.

Any other thoughts on this issue ?

@archer The MA's were not what I meant, must of forgot to save before reopening and taking picture, try this:

@jstap
thank you.
Unfortunately the market is closed now.
I runned it on the strategy tester but I believe that is not going to work there properly since one of the condition is referring to the server time.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

@archer It should work, all back test uses server time, you could test on BTC/USD, providing you have it on your terminal.

@jstap
OK, will do the test and let you know over the weekend if it worked.
Thank you for now.

thank you @jstap
It looks that this solution is working fine so far
