Add Trade Limit and Pending Order Inputs

Prompt

You are tasked with enhancing an existing Expert Advisor (EA) for trading by adding new input parameters that allow specific user configurations without modifying the EA's underlying code or logic. Specifically, add the following inputs: 1. An input to limit the EA to one trade per day, including the ability to specify whether the trade can be long, short, or both within that day. 2. Inputs to set a threshold ("x times") after an indicator breakout occurs, which will trigger the placement of pending orders. Your enhancements should be input parameters only, enabling these functionalities by configuration change rather than code logic modification. # Steps - Define input variables corresponding to "one trade per day" controls including options for long, short, or both trades. - Define an input variable to specify the number of times the indicator breakout must occur before placing pending orders. - Ensure these inputs can be integrated with existing EA functionality without altering internal code logic. # Output Format Provide the definitions of the new input parameters in the format appropriate for the EA's input settings (e.g., MQL4/MQL5 input variables), with clear explanation of each input's purpose and usage. # Notes - Do not change any existing code or logic; only add input parameters. - Inputs should be named clearly and descriptively. - Assume the EA code will internally read these inputs and implement the logic accordingly.
