Quit trading Strat – on same day

  Hi All

  I’ve been using this code to quit trading from the forum (thank you!), but figured it would be “even better”, if it could be adjusted so it only quits for trades lost in succession on the same day/period. I’m less worried about losses over multiple days as “stuff happens”, but on the same day its usually not going to be good for my algo!

  I had a go with using Today, but couldnt figure out how to work out what the day was 🙁

  // QUIT Trading Strat if strategyprofit <> strategyprofit[1] then if positionperf(1)<0 then Count=Count+1 else Count=0 endif endif if Count >=3 then QUIT endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  // QUIT Trading Strat if strategyprofit <> strategyprofit[1] then if positionperf(1)<0 then Count=Count+1 else Count=0 endif endif   if Count >=3 then QUIT endif

   

   

  I’m hopeful one of you Pro’s can help 🙂

  Thanks!

  Haha, im an idtiot, was pretty simple in the end 🙂

  // QUIT Trading Strat if strategyprofit <> strategyprofit[1] then if positionperf(1)<0 and Day=Day[1] then Count=Count+1 else Count=0 endif endif if Count >=3 then QUIT endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  // QUIT Trading Strat if strategyprofit <> strategyprofit[1] then if positionperf(1)<0 and Day=Day[1] then Count=Count+1 else Count=0 endif endif   if Count >=3 then QUIT endif

  just changed line 3, idk if this is the best way, but it did what I wanted, also open to smarter ideas, or ideas where we can define more specific periods . thanks!
