Post From: Daily Loss Limit in Spreadsheet Auto Trading

I don't think J51-J50 will necessarily produce a consecutive losing trades value.

1) Try this for counting consecutive losing trades:

-Add the Trading: Losing Trades study
-Add the Trading: Winning Trades study
-Put this in cell O3:
=IF(AA3>AA4,TRUE,IF(OR(AC3>AC4,INT(A3)>INT(A4)),FALSE,O4))
This will repeat TRUE until there is a winning trade, or until the date changes

-Put this in cell P3:
=IF(AND(O3,O4=FALSE),1,IF(AND(O3,AA3>AA4),P4+1,IF(AND(O3,O4),P4,0)))
This will increment the consecutive losing trade count, and reset to zero if there is a winning trade, or the date changes.

The formulas assume the Trading: Losing Trades study is in column AA and the Trading: Winning Trades study is in column AC; edit as needed.

2) To disable autotrading at a daily max loss value, I would use J45 instead of J11.
