How do I get the profit of the last trade?

[RMin101]

PositionProfit(0) ?? I'm trying to get the profit of the last closed position for the day and if it was a loss stop trading for the day. This is how I do it in Easy language

The logic is sound and works just not sure how to get the last closed position profit?

{Stop Trading for the day}
if PositionProfit(0) < 0

then MCL = MCL+1;

if date<>date[1]
then MCL = 0;

Thank You for your help!

if (SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count > 0)
{
    Trade lastTrade = SystemPerformance.AllTrades[SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count - 1];
    double lastProfitCurrency = lastTrade.ProfitCurrency;
}

Thank you, here is my code but I'm getting an error lastProfitCurrency does not exsts, Does the line double lastProfitCurrency = lastTrade.ProfitCurrency; define the variable? What am I'm doing wrong?

if (SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count > 0)
{
Trade lastTrade = SystemPerformance.AllTrades[SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count - 1];
double lastProfitCurrency = lastTrade.ProfitCurrency;
}

if (lastProfitCurrency < 0)
{
MCL == MCL+1;

}

if (Date(0) != Date(1))
{
MCL ==0;

}

Well, you're putting the evaluation of lastProfitCurrency outside of its scope.

You would have to do something like this instead if you're not going to put that MCL code inside the Count guard code:

double lastProfitCurrency = 0;
if (SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count > 0)
{
Trade lastTrade = SystemPerformance.AllTrades[SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count - 1];
lastProfitCurrency = lastTrade.ProfitCurrency;
}

if (lastProfitCurrency < 0)
{
MCL == MCL+1;

}

if (Date(0) != Date(1))
{
MCL ==0;

Hello RM,

Thanks for your post.

QuantKey_Bruce is correct in the advice they provided. You could use the SystemPerformance.AllTrades TradeCollection to get the last trade and then use lastTrade.ProfitCurrency to get the profit of the last trade quoted in currency.

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