Filter to wait 1 bar after a trade has closed before opening a new trade?

[jjtrader]

Hello,
I have several conditions in my EA and one of them is a simple MA cross. My problem is that sometimes when the price straddles the MA, I have a lot of bad trades. Can I create a filter to wait at least 1 bar before opening a new trade after another trade has closed on the same pair?

I have searched around and see time filters (e.g. wait x minutes) but none based on current bar time. Here is a simple project - can anyone suggest an additional block or custom code as a solution?

Thank you so much you smart people!

@jjtrader You can add this blocks immediately above your 'buy now' block:

Then you will have to mirror it for your sells trades. In this example I requested the EA to search for the last closed trade and then chack that it cas closed at least 120 seconds ago. You can adjust that time as required.

How aboud using Candle ID = 2, to skip 1 candle after the signal.

@l-andorrà Thanks! I will try this setting the time to be equal to the chart timeframe. (so it = 1 bar). I was just hoping to be able to use "# bars" rather than time since I work with Renko charts as well and they are not time based.

Thanks again, I always appreciate your help.

@biztet Hi! Thank you for your suggestion. I thought about that, but I don't want to delay all entries, only those triggered right after a previous close.

Thanks for the suggestion though
