Code blocks for “Counters” like Count “X” time and pass – EA MetaTrader 5

you can set filtering conditions to the Counter block as well. like, >> “IF this is true, then count once.”

input int count = 50; // Set the counting limit as an input

int Counter; // counter variable

// Expert Initializing --------------------
int OnInit()
{
 return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

// Expert DeInitializing -------------------
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{

}

// Expert OnTick --------------------------
void OnTick()
{
 Counter ++; // add 1 to the counter on each tick.  
 Comment("Current Count -:", Counter);
 
 if(Counter == count)  // Count "X" times and pass   | This block Executed only once per each count.
 {
  
  // Your code goes here......

 Alert(count," Times counted"); 
 Counter = 0; // Reset the counter at the end of your code block. This is must. 
 } 

} // OnTick End  <<----------------------

02. Pass “X” times and then Wait “X” times then pass.

this method can be use as like wait and pass, pass and wait. 

• Step 01 – Created a variable for set the count limit and wait limit you can use them as an input parameters as well of optimization in your code. 
• Step 02 – Create another variable to store the counted limit & wait limits (How many times it has been counted and waited).
• Step 03 – Once the Counter and your count limit is equals, that means it’s time to pass the code block specified by you.
• Step 04 –   Once the waiter and your count wait limit is equals, that means it’s time to wait for a little.
• Step 04 – Once the waiting limit is reached, be sure to reset the counter and waiter as well. Otherwise, it will Seese to work (in this case).

input int count = 50; // Set the counting limit as an input
input int wait = 50; // Set the waiting limit as an input

int Counter; // counter variable default value is "0"
int Waiter; // Waiting variable default value is "0"

// Expert Initializing --------------------
int OnInit()
  {
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

// Expert DeInitializing -------------------
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {

  }

// Expert OnTick --------------------------
void OnTick()
  {
   Comment("Counted Ticks -: ", Counter, "\n", "Waited Ticks -: ", Waiter);

   if(Counter < count) // Pass "X" times
     {
      Counter++; // update the counter

      // Your code goes here.

     }
   else
      if(Waiter < wait) // Wait for "X" times
        {
         Waiter++; // update the waiter

         // Your code goes here.

        }

   if(Waiter == wait) // Waiting Limit is reached
     {
      Counter = 0; // reset counter
      Waiter = 0; // reset waiter
     }






  } // OnTick End  <<----------------------
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Special -:

You can code the “Pass X times and stop” by modifying the above code by removing the waiting code block. Then it will count for specific number and stop works until the counter is rested. You can reset it anywhere in your code if you create these variables in global scale. (global variables)
