Single trade per day with stop orders

  Hello!

  All search results I’ve found only deal with how to limit your trades per day when using market orders. Currently, I’m using something like this:

  once EntriesToday = 0 // Reset for each day if Date[1] <> Date[0] then EntriesToday = 0 endif If OnMarket[0] <> 0 and OnMarket[1] = 0 then EntriesToday = EntriesToday + 1 endif If not OnMarket and EntriesToday < 1 then Buy 1 contract at myLevel Stop // Stop order endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  once EntriesToday = 0   // Reset for each day if Date[1] <> Date[0] then EntriesToday = 0 endif   If OnMarket[0] <> 0 and OnMarket[1] = 0 then EntriesToday = EntriesToday + 1 endif   If not OnMarket and EntriesToday < 1 then Buy 1 contract at myLevel Stop // Stop order endif

  Here’s the problem. My systems always use stop orders to enter the market and sometimes a system is stopped out on the same bar it entered the trade, but EntriesToday can never be incremented with my current code. Thus it will attempt a second trade that I don’t want next bar again.

  I haven’t come up with a solution for this. Do any of you guys have suggestions to solve this? Or if there’s a setting for max executed orders per day in PRT I somehow missed

  Thanks

  To check if a trade has been both triggered and exited on the same bar you need to check STRATEGYPROFIT:

  If StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] then EntriesToday = EntriesToday + 1 endif

  1 2 3

  If StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] then    EntriesToday = EntriesToday + 1 endif
