Gain Today and Latent Gain

  Hi Nicolas,

  Can you tell me if it’s possible to get access to the fields “Gain Today” and “Latent Gain” from the Order Book area.

  I’m trying to build into my system a piece of code which will allow me to set a profit level for the strategy so when “Gain Today” or “Latent Gain” reach a certain level all trades for the strategy are closed and the system stopped. Am I thinking along the correct lines here or is there another way to code this.

  Many thanks

  For daily gain or loss, see code snippet below. For total gain, just use strategyprofit. Adapt the code to your needs (exiting strategy for example.)

  // ---parameters MaxDailyProfit=1000 //Max daily profit allowed (in money) MaxDailyLoss=1000 //Max daily loss allowed (in money) // first time we launch the code, the trading is allowed once TradeAllowed=1 // reset the current state of the strateygprofit each new day If intradaybarindex=0 then MyProfit=STRATEGYPROFIT TradeAllowed=1 endif // test if the strategyprofit of the day is currently above the daily profit allowed of below the daily loss allowed If StrategyProfit>=MyProfit+MaxDailyProfit or Strategyprofit<=MyProfit-MaxDailyLoss then TradeAllowed=0 endif // initiate a new BUY order if TradeAllowed=1 and buyconditions then buy 1 lot at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

  // ---parameters MaxDailyProfit=1000 //Max daily profit allowed (in money) MaxDailyLoss=1000 //Max daily loss allowed  (in money)   // first time we launch the code, the trading is allowed once TradeAllowed=1   // reset the current state of the strateygprofit each new day If intradaybarindex=0 then MyProfit=STRATEGYPROFIT TradeAllowed=1 endif   // test if the strategyprofit of the day is currently above the daily profit allowed of below the daily loss allowed If StrategyProfit>=MyProfit+MaxDailyProfit or Strategyprofit<=MyProfit-MaxDailyLoss then TradeAllowed=0 endif   // initiate a new BUY order if TradeAllowed=1 and buyconditions then buy 1 lot at market endif
