Figured it out... actually it was something silly... My code is correct.. it's just EasyLanguage ignores variable changes from within the code. It look at variables from Strategy Format window. I have to remember to adjust Input entries from there, not from within the code.

Alright.. I got this so for but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. Any tips ? Ideas ? Thanks in advance... Inputs: DayMaxProf(100), DayMaxLost(20); Variables: NProf(0), OProf(0), PLToday(0), PLB4Today(0), MP(0), TargetHit(FALSE); MP = MARKETPOSITION; NProf = NETPROFIT; OProf = OPENPOSITIONPROFIT; If DATE <> DATE[1] THEN BEGIN TargetHit = FALSE; PLB4Today = NProf[1] + OProf[1]; END; PLToday = NProf + OProf - PLB4Today; IF PLToday>=DayMaxProf OR PLToday<=NEG(DayMaxLost) THEN TargetHit = TRUE; IF TargetHit=FALSE THEN BEGIN .. . . .Strategy goes here . . END; :crap:

Hey guys, I have another Easy Language question if you don't mind. Still learning... :crap: How can I get my P/L for the day ? I want to set a daily goal / daily loss and want the strategy to no longer place any trades once the goal/loss is hit. I found the "NETPROFIT" reserved word but that returns total net profit, doesn't seem to reset at the end of the day. Any idea ? Thanks in advance.

So to make my order last 5 bars I have to have 5 separate conditions ? Kinda sucks but I guess it makes sense. Thanks guys.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. Nice little community you guys have here Can someone help me out with this problem? I can't figure out how to extend the order to more than one candle...Is it possible ? By default Strategy orders look something like: IF blah then BUY THIS CANDLE MARKET; or IF blah then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT blah NEXT BAR LIMIT IF that next candle doesn''t meet my criteria the order gets canceled. I would like my order to look something like this instead: IF "blah" then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT blah NEXT 3 BAR LIMIT So basically I would like my limit order to stay active for next 3 bars ( or whatever amount of bars I specify) unless filled. Is it possible ? How can I achieve this? THank you. :pc guru:

First post! Did you ever get this to work ? You're forgetting one important statement. I believe the order system is configured for equities by default. you have to specify that you're trading contracts... From the EasyLanguage manual: So your could would need to be something like: Inputs: StopAmt(1), ProfitAmt(1); SetStopContract; SetStopLoss(StopAmt); SetProfitTarget(ProfitAmt);
