If last trade is a loss

[Faspomy]

I have the code for calculating last trade:

// Calculate last trade
Trade lastTrade = Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1];

but how do you use this in a conditional statement ?

if (lastTrade.ProfitPoints  <  0

does this mean that profit points, if less than zero, indicate that the last trade was a loss ?

Sorry for the question-- I tried the above and didn't have any luck....

NT Ryan,

thank you.



So,, if your code is:

 if (lastTrade.ProfitPercent        >        0)

this will indicate that the last trade is a loss ?

ProfitPercent is a double value representing profit as a percentage.

The snippet you posted will indicate if the last trade is a gain. Switch the operator if you're looking for the last trade being a loss.

 
if (lastTrade.ProfitPercent        <       0)
