You are doing nothing with it so it's 0

Remove ID= and put a value into UNIX

What you have should work, if not start from scratch.

No what I mean is: iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,StrToTime(2024.03.11 08:58),false); Put that in a comment using text code input and look at what's returned, make sure the date time used is on the current screen

You have a lot in there that is unnecessary, use what's in the picture on tick to close, the on trade tab is predominantly for working with something that has just happened or what a trade is doing:

If it is still doing it recreate, but no trade blocks only allow 1 trade

Change buy to sell, sell to buy in both blocks, so it matches the buy/sell block.

I will add this, sometimes (not always depending on whether the current candle value is needed), use once per relevant bar, this will limit the terminal's use of resources, and speed up backtesting, especially with ZZ.

Your no trade blocks are set wrong:

Exactly I only used " " to show the section to replace with your time, ultimately that code is expecting seconds after 1970

Create a test project, then paste it here and I'll have a look.

iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_CURRENT,"time value",false);

In a condition block to have a left and right operand, both will normally need to match. Test 1 condition at a time, but as I said multiple crosses are unlikely to happen at the same time.

You need 2 no trade blocks, one above buy, one above, sell set to relevant type, this way one can't beat the other.

A shared link, not a picture so inside blocks can be seen, the orange block is get information, not use information. Does this only place 1 trade?

You don't have the candle IDs in the MAs, across only happens once, so expecting many to be true at the same time is unlikely, test 1 condition at a time and you'll see what works.

Add a shared pink not the MQ4, you probably need a no trade block above buy and sell

The only other way I know is to add a number/letters to a variable every time it's used, then with text code input add the two together, is quite a lot of work and might not work, another option is to use code and get the latest name. Either way put the name in a comment, so you see what is being returned.

Just copy and past blocks, the enum (dayfilter) can be used many times, for example, I will use it on separate days, to not trade for the day (like a holiday)
