SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades

[elliot5]

private double MyStrategyEntry1Performance;


MyStrategyEntry1Performance = SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades("ES 09-22","Entry1", 1);

Get compile error = "Cannot implicity convert type NinjaTrader.cbi.TradeCollection"to double".

How do I access that collection in a strategy...

For example:

if SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades("ES 09-22","Entry1", 1); > 100
then do this.



Many thanks guys.

Hello elliot5,

Thanks for your post.

SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades() is a TradeCollection, not a double variable. You would need to assign GetTrades() to a TradeCollection variable.

For example, see the sample code below.

TradeCollection myTrades = SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades("AAPL", "entrySignal", 1);

See this help guide page for more information about SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades() and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../gettrades.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.

OK thanks -
but then using the logic

if(myTrades >0)
then do this


Gives Compile error "Operator <= cannot be applied to operands of type NTtradecollection and int"
Do I have to declare in variables the myTrades variable?

regards and thx

Hello elliot5,

Thanks for your note.

Since SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades() is a TradeCollection, you would not be able to compare it to an int value.

You could assign GetTrades() to a TradeCollection as seen in my previous post and then use <TradeCollection variable>.Count to get the number of trades as an int value.

TradeCollection myTrades = SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades("AAPL", "entrySignal", 1);
int myTradesCount = myTrades.Count;

myTradesCount could be compared to an int value, such as 0.

An example of using <TradeCollection variable>.Count could be seen in the GetTrades() help guide page linked in post # 2.

Let me know if I may assist further.

No I specifically need to know if P&L is positive today for a specific signal......

Hello elliot5,

Thanks for your note.

GetTrades() returns a TradePerformance object as noted in the help guide.

You could use the local variable you made and access the TradesPerformance values of that variable.

For example, if you have a local variable called myTrades, you could use something like myTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit.

Please review the help guide documentation below about the TradesPerformance values you could access and sample code.

Thank you . I am aware of this but as it does not return a double or int - how can I use it in trade logic? Regards and thanks

Hello elliot5,

Thanks for your note.

The myTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit code mentioned in my previous post does return a double value. This is seen in the TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit help guide page linked below.

TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../cumprofit.htm

Let me know if I may further assist.

[elliot5]

Ok but I need the cumprofit from a specific signal - is that possible? Regards and thanks

Hello elliot5,

Thanks for your note.

You could consider assigning GetTrades() to a TradeCollection variable named something like myTrades to get the trade of a specific signal.

Then, you would access the TradesPerformance values of the variable holding the trade of a specific signal. For example, myTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit, seen in post # 6.

See the help guide documentation below.
SystemPerformance.AllTrades.GetTrades(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../gettrades.htm
TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../cumprofit.htm

Please let me know if I may further assist.
