Bool variable

[wcautela]

Hello everyone!
I'm using the Strategy Builder for a trade based on crossover moving averages.
I want to use a bool variable to stop the strategy when I have an amount of money (either profit or loss).
I already set the bool variable at the beginning of the strategy (in the variables section) with the default value "true", then in the conditions section I am using a single "Tab" with the conditions:
"Realized PnL = MaxProfit"
"Unrealized PnL = MaxLoss"
And finally, in the same Tab, once the amount of profit or loss is reached, I reset the variable bool to "false" to stop the strategy but none of that works, the strategy continues to operate until the end of the day.
Please can you help me? Is there a procedure to set bool variables?
Regards!

For all things that you want, you can´t do it without open code source. You have to unlock code and use Account item functions and CloseStrategy function.
Sorry for me english.

Hello wcautela,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Below is a link to an example named DailyLossLimitBuilderExample_NT8 you may find very helpful.

It is possible to set bool values. Click add in the 'Do the following' section where actions are added. Expand the Misc section. At the bottom you find all variables and custom series that have been setup listed here where you can set the value for each variable.

In the conditions, are you comparing the bool to be true or false?

Is the condition that sets the value to false, triggering at an unexpected time?

I recommend using Print to see when conditions are evaluating as true or false and why. See the video 'Debugging using prints with the Strategy Builder' linked in the forum post linked below.

Hello Chelsea,
Ok, I already uploaded the 3 scripts that you sent me.
I use the Tools/Import/NinjaScript Add-On function, but how can I see the code of those strategies with the Builder?
I can only activate the strategy but I can't see its code?
Regards!
