my Drawdown percentages

[salaksi1]

You have created a simple strategy with the Strategy Builder
I now want my Drawdown percentages to be displayed in a window or anywhere

[salaksi1]

Is this possible

Hello salaski1,

Thanks for your post.

It would not be possible to get the drawdown percentage in a strategy using the Strategy Builder.

To access this you would need to unlock the code from the Strategy Builder and manually program this logic into your script.

In an unlocked script, you could access the Drawdown from the TradesPerformance collection. Then, you could save the Drawdown value to a variable and use something like Draw.TextFixed() to draw the value on a chart.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

I did it but it doesn't show up

Hello salaksi1,

Thanks for your note.

To clarify, when you run your strategy do you see the Print appear in a New > NinjaScript Editor window?

Prints will only print information to a NinjaScript Output window. It does not print information on the chart.

To print information on the chart, you would need to create a double variable, assign the drawdown value to that double variable, and then call a Draw method such as Draw.TextFixed() to draw that variable value on the chart.

See the help guide documentation in my previous post for more information.

Also, see this attached example script which is a modified version of the SampleMACrossOver strategy that prints out the drawdown to the NinjaScript Output window.

You have created the variable
But how do I set the value of Drawdown inside this variable

Hello salaksi1,

Thanks for your note.

You would need to assign the drawdown amount to that variable in OnBarUpdate() and then use that variable in something like a Draw.TextFixed() method to have the drawdown value drawn on a chart window.

For example, to assign the drawdown value to your 'draw' variable the code might look something like this:

draw = SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Curr ency.Drawdown;

Then, you would use the 'draw' variable when calling Draw.TextFixed.

Draw.TextFixed(this, "tag1", draw.ToString(), TextPosition.TopRight);

I have attached a modified version of SampleMAPrintDrawdownExample here which you could reference. This modified example assigns the drawdown to a variable and uses that variable when calling Draw.TextFixed().

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.

Note that assigning values to a variable and using that variable in a method would be considered C# education assistance. In the support department, we do not provide C# programming education services. This is so that we can maintain a high level of service for all of our clients as well as our partners. To get a better understanding of how to assign values to variables and use those variables in a method, you could do a quick Google search for something like 'C# assigning value to variable' or 'C# use variable in a method' to find educational C# information and examples.
