Limiting the Number of Trades

[eurostoxx trader]

Hi I am fairly new to programming but I am finding the Ninjatrader interface fairly well equipped to do the basics of what I want.

I am having a problem with my strategy in that it fires off too many times in a given time period. I want it to only execute, say once every 30min (say for example a strategy that buys a MA crossover)

Can anyone suggest how I do this, or know of any previous posts that covered this topic

Thanks in advance.

May the stoxx be with you

eurostoxx trader,

You can do this by limiting the trading with a bool. After you enter once set the bool to false. When the bool is false do not allow for further trading. Reset the bool to true when 30 minutes have gone by and that will reenable you for trading.
