Adding daily profit & daily loss targets to code

(login for full post details)

Dear friends

Please help a newbie here

- am trying to add dailyprofittarget and dailyloss to a simple moving average cross strat.. I added a dailyprofit/loss code that Big Mike posted a long time ago here...what's wrong there?

Thanks for ANY help!

This is the code:

// for use in signal
inputs:
dailyprofit(500),
dailyloss(250);

vars:
todaynet(0),
yesterdaynet(0);

if date <> date[1] then begin
yesterdaynet = NetProfit;
end;

if MarketPosition = 0 then begin
todaynet = NetProfit - yesterdaynet;
end;

condition1 = -dailyloss < todaynet and todaynet < dailyprofit;

// entries

if condition 1 then begin

inputs:
FastPrice( Close ) [DisplayName = "FastPrice", ToolTip =
"Enter an EasyLanguage expression to use in calculation of shorter length moving average."],
SlowPrice( Close ) [DisplayName = "SlowPrice", ToolTip =
"Enter an EasyLanguage expression to use in calculation of longer length moving average."],
FastLength( ) [DisplayName = "FastLength", ToolTip =
"Enter number of bars to use in calculation of shorter length moving average."],
SlowLength( ) [DisplayName = "SlowLength", ToolTip =
"Enter number of bars to use in calculation of longer length moving average."];

variables:
FastAvg( ),
SlowAvg( );

FastAvg = AverageFC( FastPrice, FastLength );
SlowAvg = AverageFC( SlowPrice, SlowLength );

{ CB > 1 check used to avoid spurious cross confirmation at CB = 1 }
if CurrentBar > 1 and FastAvg crosses under SlowAvg then
Sell short 1 contract next bar at market;
setstoploss ();
setprofittarget ();

I think this is your problem, there isn't any variable or input placed in the target and stop functions. Put your profit and stop inputs inside the parentheses.

setstoploss ();
setprofittarget ();

Thanks so much for the reply. I left the variables out because i change them all the time..doesn't work also when all variables are filled..

Ciao,

se ho capito bene, per quanto concerne lo Stoploss ed il ProfitTarget, dovresti inserirli in questo modo (cos� li puoi anche ottimizzare):

Inputs: exit_proft(500), Amount(250);

SetProfitTarget (exit_proft);
SetStopLoss(Amount);

--------------------------------------------

A parte lo Stoploss ed il ProfitTarget, il resto della formula funziona correttamente?

P.S: hai un M.P.
