    I’ve the following in my code

    IF StrategyProfit<-300 then
QUIT
ENDIF

    As I understand it, and as I’ve read in the description, the system shall QUIT once the StrategyProfit is down, in my case, 300 of that instrument’s currency. It would calculate the Profit – Loss and when -300 then QUIT.
    This system just quit and got the message it quit because of QUIT command. But my profit isn’t down 300 it’s “just” down 82.

    Have I misunderstood how its calculated?
    Is it calculated from its highest point, ie when drawdown is -300 it quits?

    Thanks Nicolas

    This happened on a script that was running in Demo mode, how would I use GRAPH on a “running” script?

    Ok, I wasn’t sure it happened during live trading with ProOrder. But is it possible now to backtest the same period and see what happen please? Are you using MTF ?

    Your code is correct, the strategy should QUIT if the overall achieved profit is under -300$.
