Overview
Its main Expert Advisor functions as a logic framework for developers, specifically designed to execute code exactly once at the start of each new price bar. By comparing the current bar time to the last recorded timestamp, it ensures that functions like data logging or indicator checks do not repeat on every tick. The provided code prints Open, High, Low, and Close values for the previous bar to the journal.
- Single execution per candle logic
- OHLC data logging functionality
- MetaTrader 4 framework skeleton
- Timestamp tracking for new bar detection
