Time between trades

[Chryslertech]

Is there a setting or a script I can add to set s time delay between trades? A few times a day the strategy will try and sell an existing contract and buy a new one in the same candle so I get a margin error and it stops the strategy.

In OnPositionUpdate, if the position has just changed to flat, note the time by saving DateTime.Now in a variable.

Later, when you are thinking of entering, you could calculate how long it has been since then like this:

int SecondsSinceFlat = (int)Math.Floor((DateTime.Now - FlatTime).TotalSeconds);

Hi, you can also use BarsSinceExitExecution() to keep everything in OnBarUpdate, it would also work in historical mode (DateTime.Now references the real time PC clock):
