I have a lot of experience in coding and I wanted to create something new which I hadn't done before. So when I came across the Trading Toolbox I was very excited to find out you can do automated trading with it. I read the documentation, which was pretty clear, a couple of functions to connect to a certain broker, some order functions and a disconnect function. What I couldn't find out though is how you can make sure that your code is run constantly, otherwise automated trading isn't possible since trades can only be made or closed once every time you run your code. That shouldn't be the case, the code should be repeated every second or minute for that matter. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

while true
%Insert code here
pause(1)
end
Bonus, if your code takes a long time to run and you want the script to start exactly once per minute.
while true
tic
%Insert code here
pause(60-toc)
end

Thank you very much!!! This will just do the trick. One more thing though, for what do you use tic and -toc exactly?

No problem!
tic starts a timer and toc outputs its elapsed time.
Assume you have a script that takes 10 seconds to run from start to finish. If you type pause(60) at the end, then the entire script will take 70 seconds to run. So, pause(60-toc) subtracts the elapsed time and ensures that the script is executed exactly every 60th second.
