Need help changing the number of trades counter so it does not reset everyday.

June 4th, 2020, 07:09 AM

Can someone please help me change this counter(its found in multicharts) so that it does not reset everyday but keeps its value.

Code

inputs: TargetDate_YYYMMDD( numericsimple ) ;                                       
                                               
variables: var0( 0 ) ;

var0 = 0 ;

for Value1 = 0 to 10 
	begin
	condition1 = EntryDate( Value1 ) = TargetDate_YYYMMDD ;
	if condition1 then 
		var0 = var0 + 1 ;
	end ; 

EntriesToday = var0 ;

Thank you for the help.

DramaticGoose,

welcome to futures.io. What metric are you looking for exactly? If you need the total number of trades you could for example use the reserved word TotalTrades.

I'm using the code that was there because of the fact that it is a counter that can be reset when I added an if statement making the counter go back to zero and I am using the counters output, that why I needed it as it could be altered and the reserved word TotalTrades doesn't do that for me.
Thank you for the help ABCTG.

DramaticGoose,

the code is designed to count entries that fall on a particular date only and to a maximum of eleven trades per day. Instead of trying to adjust it, you could count the trades within a variable yourself and reset it whenever your reset conditions are met.
