Tradecounter

[Uregon]

Hello, I use the strategy builder and like to limit my daily trades with my strategy to 3 trades per day

I tried to use a variable for counting trades but it doesnt work right.

The issue is that only 1 trade will be made.

This is what I created for test and it dont work:
-Variable: Tradecounter default 0
Strategy:

Set 1
If XY is true
and TradeCounter = 0

go Long
set Tradecounter = 1

Set 2
If XY is true
and TradeCounter = 1

go Long
set TradeCounter = 2

Set 3
If XY is true
and TradeCounter = 2

go Long
set TradeCounter = 3



I dont understand whats wrong with this logic

Thank you

Hello Uregon,

Did you also increase the strategies entries per direction property to 3? That would be required because you are submitting entries into the same direction, they will be ignored if that property is at the default of 1.
