Daily profit goal "Realized Pnl" not working

[Harry Croi]

I am setting a daily profit goal of 500$, for that I am doing the below, check the screenshot.

However, it exceeds 500$ and continues trading without stopping.

What's wrong?

Hi Harry, thanks for your post.

You would need to set up a Bool variable and use that to signal whether to trade or not or include the PnL values as a condition of the entry order. While the bool is false, continue executing entry logic. If the bool is true (set to true within this set you posted) then do not execute the entry action. There is another way of doing it discussed here as well:

Is it possible to do it using the strategy builder? As I didn't figure out on how to do it from there.

Hi Harry, thanks for your reply.

Yes it can be done in the strategy builder. In the Inputs and Variables section is where you can set up a boolean variable. The forum post I linked also discusses how to complete this in the strategy builder.
