1 trade only

  Hi

  How do I write code that only permits 1 trade each day. For example the market opens (large volume) and my strategy meets its criteria and opens and closes a trade. I don’t want it to open another trade (even if my entry conditions are met) until tomorrow.

  Thanking you in advance

  There you go:

  Once TradeON = 1 If IntraDayBarIndex = 0 Then TradeON = 1 Endif If MyLongConditions and TradeON Then Buy at Market TradeON = 0 Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  Once TradeON = 1 If IntraDayBarIndex = 0 Then    TradeON = 1 Endif If MyLongConditions and TradeON Then    Buy at Market    TradeON = 0 Endif

  TradeON is a flag that does the trick.
