so maybe I am missing something, I want the EA to trade once every 180 mins or whatever I edit the timing too I tried switching times to 20 mins etc....., But it is still entering trades within the timeframe that I dont want it entering. here is the link and hopefully what I am saying make sense.

@tipsywisdom I am not sure why the link is not pasting correctly I do apologize I will try to fix it

after you get this, click on it.
then youll get this and copy and paste the weblink from the top. I've removed mine cause I dont want anyone linking to my project. We don't need the "shared..."
it should start with https://

By every 180 minutes, what does that mean logically?
You can only open a trade every 180? You want to open a trade every 180?

@tipsywisdom So what happens with this ea, is it will open a trade when conditions are met, but since my tp is only 20 and when I exit the 1st trade it will open another trade and that can cause that second trade to lose so instead I only want 1 trade open every 180 mins or so

Thats a bit confusing, I'll explain it as I see it and what you're trying to say.
I'm still not sure if that is what's supposed to happen or if you are explaining what is actually happening.
Currently the EA is configured to:
Every single tick....
No trade, check conditions,
If current candle is below 200 ma, and RSI cross below 20, every 20 minutes you want to sell.Now, remembering we are building OnTick. if you tell it to do something every 20 minutes, every tick.....

That would be the same thing as setting the current bar to 20 minutes and removing that once per minutes block, if my thinking is right.

@legendarymike To make the shared link easier for people to click click it so it opens in a web page, then copy from there otherwise people have to open a shared link of there own and then copy the half link to past over half there own.

@tipsywisdom Okay I think im understanding a bit better, so when under 200, and the rsi crosses below 20 I want it to sell, but I want 1 trade per every 20 mins. so should I put it ( on time) instead of on tick?

On tick isnt wrong, but I don't think thats still going to achieve what you are seeking.
If you want to limit trades to 180 minutes, just do your current bar to 180 minutes and then you have nothing else to consider. Or perhaps do the time at the top of the structure. In that configuration it starts with: every 180 minutes, if no trade, search conditions, etc etc.

gotcha I will give that a shot. I am really new to this and just want a simple scalping bot that hits 10-20 pips lol so I am trying to come up with my own instead of buying one

Some things with backtesting time EA's aren't right...and I dont think it was timers. I personally have never used timers to achieve things so I can't say for sure if it will even work. but maybe it was timers....can't be sure. If it still doesn't work theres always another way around it.

@tipsywisdom Got it I usually trade but since I will be traveling a lot I will have less time to trade and I dont know how to code so I am unsure how to put my trading strat into a bot so I was trying to create this simple bot I will test it see if it works if now ill have to find another way
