I mean that if the expert opens a position at any time during the day, it should not open any more positions on that day after that. I'm trying to check that with this method and put it before opening a new position, but it's not working. bool IsOneDayPassedSinceLastDeal(string symbol) { int totalDeals = HistoryDealsTotal(); if (totalDeals == 0) return true; for (int i = totalDeals - 1; i >= 0; i--) { ulong dealTicket = HistoryDealGetTicket(i); string dealSymbol = HistoryDealGetString(dealTicket, DEAL_SYMBOL); if (dealSymbol == symbol) { datetime openTime = HistoryDealGetInteger(dealTicket, DEAL_TIME); datetime currentTime = TimeCurrent(); int timeDifference = currentTime - openTime; int secondsInDay = 24 * 60 * 60; if (timeDifference < secondsInDay) return false; } } // If no deal was found for the symbol within the last day, return true return true; }
