How to get CumProfit of the day, not the whole chart?

[leontancfa]

Hi I want to set a daily profit and loss target to my strategy.

I used wizard and got this code:

Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Points.Cum Profit

But this line returns cumulated profit of all days on the chart, not daily profit...

I know I could work around it by setting the chart's data series to one day only. But just wanted to see if daily profit can be returned another way.

Thank you!

Hello leontancfa,
Unfortunately you cannot do it via the Strategy Wizard. You have to unlock the Strategy Wizard and further custom code it using the NinjaScript editor.

You can use the workaround which you are currently using.

If you are not versed with NinjaScript, then you can also contact any of the NinjaScript consultant and get it code. You can get the list of our NinjaScript consultants from here http://www.ninjatrader.com/partners#...pt-Consultants

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Hi This would work in real time trading, but if I want to back test my strategy, I guess it does not help...

When I　typed in "Performance.AllTrades.", autocomplete showed a ".ByDay" property. But I could not find reference in NT7 website. Could you advise if that property will help?

leon,

Here is a reference sample on stopping a strategy after consecutive losers.

You could track PnL yourself by monitoring the orders, however it gets a little more advanced.
