Last trade winner/loser

[Aussiemike]

Hi,

Having difficulty trying to understand how i could do this. Nothing seems to be working. Not relling following the trades /performance parts.

I'm sure this has been done 1000 times before. Can someone please help?

Just want to know if last trade was win or loss

Thanks

Hello,

Not sure if you've had a chance to take a look at this post but it should help you with tracking trade performance: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4084

Specifically: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ningtrades.htm

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Lance,

Have already looked at those sections, but not seeing it.

Cheers anyway

Hello,

You would use something similar to the code here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ningtrades.htm

    // Accesses the last winning trade in the strategy (oldest trade is at index 0)
       if (Performance.AllTrades.WinningTrades.Count > 1)
      {
           Trade lastTrade = Performance.AllTrades.WinningTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1];
 
  
        //Instead of printing the value out like here you could check to see if > 0
          Print("The last winning trade's profit was " + lastTrade.ProfitCurrency);
      }

Thanks Lance,

Still dont get that one, well it didn't work out how i wanted anyway. Might come back to it later, but for now i've just used

if ((Performance.AllTrades.Count ==0)
|| (Performance.AllTrades.Count >= 1) && BarsSinceExit(0,"",0) >5)

As a primary decider if to enter a trade. Wanted to prevent re-entry again and again, and this covers it. Not getting genuine re-entries i want inside 5 bars after wins so it works fine.

Cheers
