Limit 1 trader per day using strategy bruilder

[kapa1]

Hi. Sorry if this has been answered before but I could not find an answer for this. Is there anyway we can limit number of trades using strategy builder?

Thank you!

I found this thread and it should help...

This is how I think it should be done:

1) In the Strategy Builder, Conditions and Actions; add a new group and call it e.g. "BarsSinceEntry"
2) Set condition set to "If Any" in the drop down
3) Add "BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,""0)=-1 [this will check if there has been placed any orders before this one]
4) Add ""BarsSinceEntryExecution(0,""0)>=20 [20 is the amount of bars before the condition set is triggering next entry. E.g. if you have a daily time frame strategy, 20 bars is equal to 20 days before it takes another entry]

In the Conditions window:

Left Column (select):
Misc>Bars since entry

Right Column (select):
Misc>Numeric Value

I have not tested Demo9044's suggestion however, the following sample demonstrates how this could be done in the editor,
