Stop all trading for day after 1 condition is met once.

January 8th, 2020, 11:07 AM

Hi I am looking to stop all automated trading when a condition is met.

The condition typically only occurs once and then reverts back to the original state so I'm having trouble keeping trading stopped.

Condition1 = AvgTrueRange(1) >= 0.015;

Refers to one bar back.

How would I set this condition to continue being true after it has occured? Allowing for the creation of a statement to stop all trading for the day.

Edwin Lefevre,

you could use an if...then statement to set your Boolean variable to true. Then you can use another if... then statement to set it to back to false - for example on a new day.

Thanks ABC

I came up with this, and it seems to be working:

if avgtruerange(1) >= 0.015 then
volatility_stop = true;

if volatility_stop = true and time > 1705 and date > date[1] then
volatility_stop = false;
