NET P&L

[pman777]

is there a way to access the current day's net P&L in $'s?

Hello pman777,
Thanks for your post.

Are you trying to get the P&L for the account or for the strategy?

for a strategy

I do not think you can access this from the Builder currently.

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

You would use SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.NetP rofit in an unlocked strategy.

Trader17 is correct that this is not available in the Strategy Builder.

[pman777]

thank you Josh ,,, how would you get the same info for an account too?

You would use SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.NetP rofit in an unlocked strategy.

Trader17 is correct that this is not available in the Strategy Builder.

And could you use this in an unlocked Strategy to stop any or all strategies for the day if we reach net profit/loss for the day? Would be a great feature to have this in Strategy Builder. Like stop trading after X amount of profit/loss for the day!!
Thanks.

You could do this for an account using the Account class but not with a simple method. You would need to loop through all of the trades and find the ones that are related to your strategy. Then do some math to find the net profit.

There are some samples of daily stop losses at the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...limit-examples

[Trader17]

Thank you. And do you have similar ones for total profit too? Maybe a future enhancement for Builder to stop trading after X in profit/loss?
Thank you much.

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

I do not have a sample for total profit. You could modify the daily loss to also be a daily profit though.

Maybe a future enhancement for Builder to stop trading after X in profit/loss

I'll look into seeing if its possible. You would likely need to unlock the code to make any such comparison without a major overhaul to the builder. If all of your trading is done from the strategy you can just check the strategies Realized PnL.

[Trader17]

So it is possible to disable a strategy from within if a certain profit/loss is reached by it? And is it through the Builder?
Thanks.

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

Yes, it would be possible with CloseStrategy(). No, it is not possible inside the strategy builder. Is that what you want available in the builder?

Would be nice to able to have Builder do it. Like when certain amount of profit/loss is achieved by it during the session.
Thank you.
