Total PNL not working

[litamm89]

Hello!

I had your team help me setup my total PnL bool.

Its supposed to shut off at -$450 but sometimes it goes over and loses around -$560 when it should shut off and other times it shuts off at the right time.

I also use renko bars and calculate on bar close.

Is there a better way to do this so that works closer to where I want it to close.

Hello litamm89,

Thanks for your post.

You could use Calculate.OnPriceChange so that your strategy calculates for each incoming change in price instead of only at the close of a bar (OnBarClose).

If you need to detect when a bar closes, you could use IsFirstTickOfBar. IsFirstTickOfBar determines if the incoming tick is the first tick of a new bar, also meaning that the current bar closes since the incoming tick is for a newly forming bar.

See this help guide page for more information about IsFirstTickOfBar: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ttickofbar.htm

Please note that Renko bars use RemoveLastBar and will result in multiple bar closures when this method gets called in the bar.
