Hi SC Support,

I want to programatically stop trading (lock trading) once I reach a certain PnL. Going to be trading options, what ACSIL function could I use to draw profit loss by %?

Thx,

Steve

There is no function which uses a percentage.

You can access the Daily Profit/Loss with this function:
