If last trade was a loosing trade stop trading for today

[tradereight]

hello

i would like to stop (not terminate) my automated strategy for today if the last trade was a loosing one, but when i add this code from the help section i get an INDEX OUT OF RANGE error

other parts of my strategy require this to be set:
if (CurrentBar < 6)
return;

here is the code i am using from the help section:

Trade lastTrade = Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1];

if (lastTrade != null && lastTrade.ProfitPercent <= 0)
allowtrading == false;

on firstbarofsession is set "allowtrading" to true

on every entry i check if allowtrading == true then enterlong

This is likely your line in error: Trade lastTrade = Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1];

Where in the help guide does it use Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1? If you want the last trade you would want to use an index of 0.

thx

about the performance.alltrades
is there a function to print the largest loosing trade from my trade history?

You will want to loop through the TradeCollection class and determine it through your own code.

tradereight,

Are you still getting the "index out of range" issue? It has been brought to my attention that Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1] is actually the last trade. A reason you may have hit the "index out of range" is if there are no trades at the point in time when you access it.
