one trade per bar (1 minute)

[sams]

I downloaded the "AutoTrade_MA.efs" study (attached file). And I like to add a line that it will trade only one time per bar ( 1 minute). I tried to add the following 2 lines, but it didn´t worked. Any ideas?

... && (lastTradeTime != getValue("rawtime",0))) { ...
... lastTradeTime = getValue("rawtime",0); ...

regards

Hello sams,

With this particular formula, it's a little more complicated to add some logic to prevent multiple trades on the same bar. The better solution for you with this formula is to adjust the Stop Percentage through Edit Studies. The default is 0.25 percent, which may be too tight for the symbol you're using. Try increasing this parameter to 4 or 5, which corresponds to a 4.0% or 5.0% stop. If you want to change the default, change the value in line 88.

fp5.setDefault(0.25); // 1 = 1.00%
