Tracking executed trades...

[zachj]

Is it possible to keep track of how many trades have executed so far in the day?

If(//command in here for a trade executed//)
tradeExecuted ++

Only thing remotely similiar I can see to possibly use is something like.... if(trade.ProfitCurrency > 0) || if (trade.ProfitCurrency < 0)
tradeExecuted ++

And I know there's also using Performance.AllTrades.Count

but a trade would have to complete and close out for it to Count it.

Trying to limit the # of trades executed per day to under 20.

Hello zachj,

Thank you for your post.

If you are not looking for the completed trade but the number of executed orders then you can use OnExecutions and IOrder objects to pull the state of the order (Filled, PendingSubmit, etc.) and use your own custom count to keep track.

For information on OnExecution please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nexecution.htm

For information on IOrder objects please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nt7/iorder.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Maybe try something like this

 #region Variables 
private int entries = 0; //to calculate # of entries 
................................
................................
If(//command in here for a trade executed//)
 tradeExecuted ++

entries = entries +1; //this calculates entries
Print("Entries # = " + entries.ToString()); //print in output window 
DrawText("Entries # "+ToDay(Time[0]), "Entries # = " + entries.ToString(), 0, Close[0] - 30*TickSize, Color.Orange); //this draw on your chart
