i followed a MT4 tutorial on MT5 but its opening 50 million entries

[propfirmedge]

What specifically should i add to only open 1 position when a specific situation occurs once, but then to open another position if it happens 5 candles down the track?

I was following this Quasimodo example on youtube and it works, it just open more and more positions

Here is my

if didnt have Check Positions count... but i thought id add it so that it doesnt open a position unless theres 0 positions already, but of course that didnt work either.

add the "once per bar" block

[propfirmedge]

then does that open it every single bar? or just when the next bar happens that the same thing occurs?

Put once per bar under conditions, conditions will be checked, if ok it will activate once per bar. With no trade only 1 trade should open, if multiple are opening then you may have to start the project again.

@jstap is no trade the same as no positions in mt5?

[jstap]

yes.....
