Can I use tradescount in an indicator?

[lblanks]

i want to have a display of the number of trades I have made that day display on a chart and update as I go through the day? Can I do that with an indicator or alert? Thanks Lindsay

Hello lblanks,

This would not be possible in an alert.

However, a custom coded indicator you can use Addon methods to add an event handler to an accounts .OrderUpdate event. You could increment an integer on each new order.
