    Historical vs Live Trading

    I found a snippet of code on this forum that references RealizedProfitLoss and attempts to stop the strategy if there is a certain amount of loss. When I Print the value of the referenced variable it says 0 but then still returns as under -100 in the code and immediately toggles safetyStop to true. I can remove this for now as it isn't officially supported, but I would appreciate any insight as the ability to do this would be very helpful.

    Thanks

    // In real-time only and the safety stop not yet hit
    if (!Historical && !safetyStop)
    {
    // Check the account realized PnL and if the max loss exceeded
    if (((AccountItem) Account.GetAccountItem(Cbi.AccountItemType.Realize dProfitLoss, Cbi.Currency.Unknown)).Value < -100);
    {
    // Close any open position
    safetyStop = true;
    ExitLong();
    ExitShort();
    }
    }
