  To stop trading after 1 profitable trade:

  ONCE TradeON = 1 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN TradeON = 1 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN TradeON = 0 ENDIF IF MyConditions AND TradeON THEN BUY/SELLLSHORT.... ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  ONCE TradeON = 1 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN    TradeON = 1 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN    TradeON = 0 ENDIF IF MyConditions AND TradeON THEN    BUY/SELLLSHORT.... ENDIF

  To stop after a certain number of trades:

  ONCE MaxTrades = 3 ONCE Tally = 0 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN Tally = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] THEN Tally = Tally + 1 ENDIF IF MyConditions AND Tally < MaxTrades THEN BUY/SELLLSHORT.... ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  ONCE MaxTrades = 3 ONCE Tally     = 0 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN    Tally = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] THEN    Tally = Tally + 1 ENDIF IF MyConditions AND Tally < MaxTrades THEN    BUY/SELLLSHORT.... ENDIF

  how does one combine these 2 pieces of code so that the maximum number of trades is 2 but the system will stop after 1 profitable trade. So that if first trade is profitable, the second wont happen but if first is a loser then 1 more trade will be allowed

  There you go:

  ONCE TradeON = 1 ONCE MaxTrades = 3 ONCE Tally = 0 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN TradeON = 1 Tally = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN TradeON = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] THEN Tally = Tally + 1 ENDIF IF MyConditions AND Tally < MaxTrades AND TradeON THEN BUY/SELLLSHORT.... ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

  ONCE TradeON   = 1 ONCE MaxTrades = 3 ONCE Tally     = 0   IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN    TradeON = 1    Tally   = 0 ENDIF   IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN    TradeON = 0 ENDIF   IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] THEN    Tally = Tally + 1 ENDIF IF MyConditions AND Tally < MaxTrades AND TradeON THEN    BUY/SELLLSHORT.... ENDIF

  It open as many trades as MAXTRADES.  It’s 3 now, but you can change it as needed.

  This code is working as expected on DAX, 1-min, 5-min, 15-min TFs, etc…

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False ONCE TradeON = 1 ONCE MaxTrades = 3 ONCE Tally = 0 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN TradeON = 1 Tally = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN TradeON = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] THEN Tally = Tally + 1 ENDIF MyConditions = (average[20] CROSSES UNDER average[100]) AND Not OnMarket IF MyConditions AND Tally < MaxTrades AND TradeON THEN SELLSHORT 1 contract at Market ENDIF SET TARGET pPROFIT 60 SET STOP pLOSS 60 // graph Tally

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False ONCE TradeON   = 1 ONCE MaxTrades = 3 ONCE Tally     = 0 IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN    TradeON = 1    Tally   = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN    TradeON = 0 ENDIF IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] THEN    Tally = Tally + 1 ENDIF   MyConditions = (average[20] CROSSES UNDER average[100]) AND Not OnMarket IF MyConditions AND Tally < MaxTrades AND TradeON THEN    SELLSHORT 1 contract at Market ENDIF SET TARGET pPROFIT 60 SET STOP   pLOSS   60 // graph Tally

  I suggest that you either post your code, or use mine, simply replacing MyConditions with yours.

  hi roberto

   

  1 more question……!

   

  i have 2 strategies that i have made/ am using with a degree of success and they are both good on back testing. I would like another set of eyes to have a look at them and see where i can improve them. Would be happy to pay for that service! is there anyone you could recommend? would you have a look? should i just post them on a forum and see what people say?! alex
