hi all,
new to EL and trying to figure out how to keep track of how many daytrades i've done in one day. going down the "GlobalValue" and the "GlobalDictionary" path seems to lead to a thicket of Senders and Recievers. I don't want Senders and Recievers, I want a place to store the total # daytrades so far that day.
The code that seems logical to me would be
using (some kind of Global Tradestation Variables Storage Area where i have *already declared* daytrades ( 0 ); );
if condition1 then
begin
buy blah blah blah;
daytrades = daytrades + 1 ;
end;
so that i could use this in every strategy, so that no matter what strategy enters the trade, i am making a tally of how many trades i have entered as the day progresses.
*surely* tradestation does this anyways as it *has* to for the PDT; but for some exasperating reason there doesn't seem to be a reserved word for it.
