Max Loss per day

  Hi guys

  Is it possible to code a “max loss per day” into the system? Essentially adding a dollar amount loss which if hit within a period of time will stop the system trading and push into “not running”.

   

  Thanks

  There you go, you’ll have to:

  • add TradeON to your conditions to enter a trade
  • set TradeON back to 1 to reenable trading whenever you want

  ONCE MaxLoss = 500 ONCE TradeON = 1 IF STRATEGYPROFIT <= MaxLoss THEN    TradeON = 0 ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5

  ONCE MaxLoss = 500 ONCE TradeON = 1 IF STRATEGYPROFIT <= MaxLoss THEN    TradeON = 0 ENDIF

  Thanks Roberto

  Bit new to this so when you say “add TradeON to your conditions to enter a trade” – is this a build in function or will this form part of the code?

  A good code snippet for the daily maximum loss can be found here:

  You have to merge my code into yours, then us TradeON, alcong with your conditions, to enter a trade, i.e.:

  IF MyConditions AND TradeON THEN BUY/SELLSHORT ..... ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF MyConditions AND TradeON THEN    BUY/SELLSHORT ..... ENDIF
