Is there an automated way using an indicator or strategy to exit Ninja trader once I have reached some daily profit value let's say 5 points ? My issue is I am over trading and giving up all after profitable. This is just to set some discipline. Thank you.

Hello mtamaku,
Thanks for writing in.
This would be possible in the context of C# but we do not offer a supported means to shut down the platform through NinjaScript. One option would be to apply logic to your strategies so they stop taking trades after a certain point, however.
The Performance object could be used to get a strategies trade performance, or you can use GetAccountValue() to monitor the RealizedProfitLoss of the account. GetAccountValue(AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss) will not be shown in points since it is a collective figure involving multiple instruments.
NinjaTrader 8 has a CloseStrategy() method which can cancel orders and close positions made by the strategy, but NinjaTrader 7 would need to have that functionality implemented by the strategy developer.
I've included documentation links to the items discussed as well as a sample for creating a time filter.
Performance - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...erformance.htm

GetAccountValue() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...countvalue.htm

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.JimNinjaTrader Customer Service

Hello elliot5,
You will need to check your syntax. In your snippet, you are calling GetAccountValue with AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss + " " + "Realized PnL" instead of AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss.
See here for a test with proper syntax - https://i.imgur.com/Scm8Yd5.png
We look forward to assisting.JimNinjaTrader Customer Service
