'Trade Counter' Variable?

[FutTrader9000]

I'm wondering if there is an automated way to limit the number of trades a strategy will make once it hits a certain limit. For example I have a strategy that works well if it trades <10 times, but there are days where it does poorly and much of that is due to overtrading. Is there a way that I can have the strategy turn off after 10 trades? I tried to use the strategy builder to implement a line of code to the effect of "if TradeCount < User Variable", but I can't find a variable as part of the indicators that will serve as a trade counter.

Thanks in advance.

Hello FutTrader9000,

You could use similar logic to this sample which increments a variable. You would need to increment the series when you submit the entry and then part of your entry condition check that the value is less than the target number of entries.
