I tried this before, but it didn't work as I thought it would. Maybe because I have multiple currencies. I will try it again. Thanks again.

Hmm, don't remember seeing that block, but I will try it. Thank you.

Hi, I created an EA that works great. It will open positions on multiple currency pairs, even though I placed it on just one.

The problem now is that it is opening too many trades, like 10 and 20+ most are winners. But there will always be some drawdown. When you have too many small drawdowns, they add up to a big drawdown, and it can negatively affect your account.

How can I create a standalone EA that will limit the number of total trades (all currency pairs combined) that will be opened at a time?

So let's say 20 pairs meet the condition to place a trade; this EA will only allow, say, 5 pairs to be opened at a time.

Thanks in advance.

I tried that last week but it didn't work. Maybe I have something else in the code that was working against it. I will check it out and let you know.

Thanks Sketsec. Basically what I am trying to do is I want the EA to wait n number of seconds before moving forward. So say 50 seconds before moving to the next block in the code. How can I do this? Thanks

Is "n" in seconds, ticks, minutes, etc?

Thanks
