You need to wrap the function in a function which requires no arguments:

function myFunction(myParam, tries){
  if (typeof tries == "undefined"){
    tries = 0;
  }
  tries++;
  if (tries < 2){
    setTimeout(function() {
         myFunction(myParam, tries);
    }, 50);

  }
}

myFunction("something");
