Well...

PHP Code: <code> 
intBarCount;

init()

BarCount=Bars-1;

Beginning ()

if(BarCount!=Bars)OrderSend(...);
 </code>
Basically, the EA will put trades in the open of the new bar.

Another option is:
PHP Code: <code> 
intTimeCount;

start()

TimeCount=Period();

datetimeBarEnd=Timing #91;0#93; (TimeCount*60);

intSecondsToBarEnd=BarEnd-TimeCurrent();

if(SecondsToBarEndlt;=5)OrderSend(...)
 </code> This piece of code puts an order when there is less than 5 seconds left in a bar.

Wish I could get some help over. I'm only a trader who would like to get help as I've hunting for it because a while ago.

I currently looking to get an script or an EA where it could open my trades at the following opening candle or the end of current candles.

I found difficulties to start the trade exactly at the opens of their new candles although I'm currently using hotkey buy / sell scripts. It always been pips.

So wish could get a little hand out of here.

I discovered difficulties to start the trade exactly at the opens of the new candles although I am currently using hotkey buy / sell scripts. It always been late several pips.

So want might get a small hand from here.

mph, I made a script with Ronald's code but it isn't opening the order on the start of the bar yet
Ronald, will you examine the code and fix what is wrong?
Thank you

PHP Code: <code> intBarCount;
intinit()

BarCount=Bars-1;
return(0);

intstart()

if(BarCount! =Bars)OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,3,0,0,â€BuyOrderâ€,255,0,Blue);

I will test this out the following week because tonight will going to market close.

Particularly, I think what I needed is juz an EA whereby it could start trades in the end of the bar / open of the bar, then I can attach it when I desire, and juz dis-attach it as it has already open the transactions. It is the best if a script is to do that. However an EA with above purpose is adequate for me as I just want to start transactions in the most precise accurate value of the bar.

Notice: Can post some charts whereby it did not open in the opening of bars? Can it involving disperse stuff?

EX4 documents are useless to me.

But if it is a script, it won't work because scripts run just on the tick for which they were enabled.

It Has to Be an EA. And make sure that after the OrderSend work, you place BarCount = Bars. This way, the EA understands the transaction was placed by it.

Sorry Ronald, if had become the file. So it would not function as a script for mphpopular. I'll try it in my EA.
Thank you, enjoy

It needs to be an EA. And be certain after the OrderSend function, you place BarCount = Utilities. This way, the EA knows the trade was placed by it.

Mine to get one for me? As I really dunno the way to writes the EA code outside....
Juz wish to have one... But plz do ignore me whether it is troublesome. Cause I know making an EA requires a lot of time...

begin ()

TimeCount=Period();

datetimeBarEnd=TimeNumber 91;0Number 93; (TimeCount*60);

intSecondsToBarEnd=BarEnd-TimeCurrent();

if(SecondsToBarEndlt;=5)OrderSend(...)
 </code> This piece of code puts an order when there is significantly less than 5 seconds left at a pub.

Ronald, I left EA's with both codes and wont work. That the expresion BarCount! = Bars is always true, BarCount variable is different than Bars variable because we've got BarCount = Bars - 1 at the init() function, so it puts an order at each tick.
Can you look at my attached EA and see what's wrong, perhaps you can make it work.
Thanks, Dan
