In an ACSIL auto-trading strategy, is it possible to programmatically disable auto-trading once a target DailyProfitLoss has been hit? The support board has answers for doing this when using spreadsheet trading, but I can't find an equivalent for ACSIL. I'm trying this but it doesn't seem to work. sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData = true; s_SCPositionData myPositionData; sc.GetTradePosition(myPositionData); if ( myPositionData.DailyProfitLoss >= 10 ) { break }

Do you mean you want to effectively uncheck the option Trade >> Auto Trading Enabled? Otherwise, you would just simply do something like this: if ( myPositionData.DailyProfitLoss >= 10 ) { return; } Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thanks, SC Engineering - it's sorted now. The problem turned out to be how the number ("10" in this case) is interpreted for different feeds. For FDAX futures through Transact, 10 points is equivalent to just 1 point on GER30 through FXCM. I probably need to re-interpret the number in terms of TickSize etc.
