Assign values to the custom series in DailyLossLimitBuilderExample_NT8

[clarkys]

Hi,

In NinjaTrader_PaulH's DailyLossLimitBuilderExample_NT8, how do you insert between BarsInProgress and if (CurrentBars[0] < 1) the assignments to YesterdaysPNL[0] and StrategyTotallPNL[0] in Strategy Builder? So far I've managed to replicate the rest of the example, except for the the part seen below.

if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

YesterdaysPNL[0] = YesterdaysPNL[1];
StrategyTotallPNL[0] = SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Curr ency.CumProfit;
if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
return;


Thanks,
CS

Hello clarkys,

Thanks for your post.

First, you would need to create the custom series in the 'Custom Series' section of the Additional Data screen.

Additional Data Screen: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...onalDataScreen

Once those custom series are created, you could assign values to them in the Actions section of the Conditions and Actions screen.

Conditions and Actions screen: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...dActionsScreen

To assign a value to the custom series in the Actions section of the Conditions and Actions screen, select 'add' in the Actions section, open the Misc folder, and choose the custom series from the Misc folder that you want to assign a value to (such as 'Set YesterdaysPNL').

Then hover the mouse over the field below (YesterdaysPNL) and click 'set' to assign a value to the custom series. After clicking 'set', assign a custom series to the custom series you are editing by opening the Misc folder, select 'Custom Series', use the 'Custom series' drop-down menu to select the series you want to add, click OK, and click OK again.
