Hi, is there a way to limit 1 short trade or 1 long trade per day?

I know that it is possible to code a strategy by limiting it to 1 trade per day by using and playing around with the “barindex” functions.

But I specifically only need the strategy to perform a maximum of 1 short trade per day or 1 long trade per day (so in total maximum 2 trades per day),
and I can’t figure out how to do it, is it possible to do it somehow?

thanks in advance for the help

Master
There you go:
```
MaxTrades = 1
IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN
   LongTally  = 0
   ShortTally = 0
ENDIF
IF myLongConditions  AND LongTally < MaxTrades THEN
   BUY 1 Contract at Market
   LongTally = LongTally + 1
ENDIF
IF myShortConditions AND ShortTally < MaxTrades THEN
   SELLSHORT 1 Contract at Market
   ShortTally = ShortTally + 1
ENDIF
```
you may set MaxTrades to 2, to allow 2 trades for each direction, etc…

hi, I found it also very useful to use below functions, especially if one triggers entries not “at market” but with “stop” (or “limit”):

if longtriggered = 1 then…

if shorttriggered = 1 then…

cheers
