Output Window Print Volume of the entry candle of just the losing Trades

[RobertoPaez]

Hello, I hope you can help me with this. First of all Im not a programer. I'm learning with this ninjatrader!!!

I need to do 2 things:

1) I have built an strategy and I have ran it through 180 days. From This Strategy I wish to Print in the outputWindow JUST the Volume of the Entry Candles and Stochastics, ONLY OF THE LOOSING TRADES.

2) I'm Trying to define a variable that Calculates The average volume of the last 7 Candles

private VOL VOL1;

VOL1 = VOL(Close);


((VOL1[1] + VOL1[2] + VOL1[3] + VOL1[4] + VOL1[5] + VOL1[6] + VOL1[7]) / 7). Can you please explain me how do I Define this Variable?

Thanks in advance!!

Roberto

Hello RobertoPaez,

Thanks for your post.

One approach would be to save the strategies RealizedPNL (accumulates as the strategy trades) into a variable and at the end of each trade (when you are flat) compare the new realized PNL to the saved PNL in the variable as that would be the difference the last trade made. If the difference is less than zero then it was a losing trade. Here is a link to obtaining the realized PNL of the strategy (that accumulates): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?cumprofit.htm

The other way to determine if the last trade was a losing trade is to check the Trades collection. Please see example 1 on this page: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...collection.htm If the "last trade" profit is negative it was a losing trade.

For the variable declaration, you would want to declare the variable as a double type, for example, private double myAvgVolume.

So then myAvgVolume = ((VOL1[1] + VOL1[2] + VOL1[3] + VOL1[4] + VOL1[5] + VOL1[6] + VOL1[7]) / 7);

Alternately you could use a simple moving average for this: myAvgVolume = SMA(Volume, 7)[1];
Volume is a data series, reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lumeseries.htm
