want to set a timer— one, two, or three hours—so that it can activate stoped block again

Hello everyone! My question is how I can stop a block, for example, my buy/sell block, after it has hit the stop-loss twice in a row. I then want to set a timer— one, two, or three hours—so that it can activate again. How can I do that?

1️⃣ Track SL Hits:

• Use a Global or Custom Variable (e.g., SL_Hits) to count consecutive stop-loss hits.
• Increment SL_Hits each time a trade is closed by stop-loss.

2️⃣ Check Before Opening Trades:

• In the Buy/Sell block, add a Condition block.
• Only allow trades if SL_Hits < 2 (or your chosen threshold).

3️⃣ Set a Timer:

• When SL_Hits reaches the threshold:
  • Record the current time in a variable, e.g., SL_Lock_Start = TimeCurrent().
  • Block trades until the lock period expires:
  TimeCurrent() >= SL_Lock_Start + Lock_Period
  • Lock_Period = 1–3 hours in seconds (e.g., 1 hour = 3600 seconds).

4️⃣ Reset After Timer:

• Once the timer expires, reset SL_Hits = 0.
• Trades are allowed again.

FXDreema Block Flow:

• Trade closed by SL → increment SL_Hits
• Condition Block → allow trades only if SL_Hits < 2 or lock period expired
• Timer Logic → block trading for X hours
• Reset SL_Hits after lock period
