1 trade per bar

[maaz1598]

i am making a micro trading strategy trading the price action of a 1 hour candlestick but i want it to only trade once per bar but i cant figure out how i should write the code
here is part of the code where the issue is (simplified )

// variable 
private bool entry = false 
//
//
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
entry = false; 				
}
else 
{
 entry = true; 
}
// when the current price crosses above last hours high 
if (Close[0]>= High[1] && entry == false )
{
  EnterLong(100)
}

the issue is that i have a stoploss and profit target sometimes they are reached so the bool variable "entry " becomes false causing multiple trades to happen on a single bar when the condition is meet again

Hello maaz1598,

Thank you for your post.

You could do this simply with the CurrentBar. For example:

        [B]private int entryBar = 0;[/B]
		
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if (Close[0] > Open[0] // your condition for entry here
				[B]&& CurrentBar > entryBar) [/B]
			{
				EnterLong();
				[B]entryBar = CurrentBar;[/B]
			}
        }
