Implementing a Daily Trade Limit in ProBuilder

This code snippet demonstrates how to limit the number of trades executed per day in a trading strategy using the ProBuilder language. The example provided sets a maximum of two trades per day, but this can be adjusted by changing the comparison value.


If STRATEGYPROFIT <> STRATEGYPROFIT[1] Then
    Count = Count + 1
Endif

If Count < 2 Then
    ' Execute trade logic here
Endif

This snippet is part of a larger trading strategy script where Count is used to track the number of trades executed within the day. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

  • Line 1: The condition checks if the current strategy profit (STRATEGYPROFIT) is different from the strategy profit of the previous bar (STRATEGYPROFIT[1]). This difference indicates a new trade has been executed.
  • Line 2: If a new trade has occurred, the trade counter (Count) is incremented by 1.
  • Line 3: Ends the conditional statement.
  • Line 4: Before executing further trade logic, it checks if the Count is less than 2, ensuring that no more than one trade has been executed already.

This approach helps in managing risk and adhering to specific trading constraints by limiting the number of trades per day. Adjusting the comparison value in line 4 allows for different daily trade limits.
