One Trade Per Day

[JerryA]

Is there an easy way to add an input to an existing strategy to select the number of trades per day? I would like to test a specific number of trades per day starting with 1 trade per day.

Thank you.

Hello JerryA,

Thank you for your post.

The ease of implementing will depend on your knowledge of NinjaScript. You would use Bars.FirstBarOfSession and a user defined input.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Jerry,

I would simply add a parameter of how many trades per day you want to do.

Then I would use OnPositionUpdate to increment a variable everytime my position goes from flat to something. In addition to this, OnBarUpdate I would reset that variable each time Bars.GetTimeEnd(CurrentBar).Day != Bars.GetTimeEnd(CurrentBar - 1).Day.

Needless to say that you must have CurrentBar > 0 and that you will enter a trade only if your variable is < how many trades you want to take in a day.

Cheers!
