One Trade Per Day

[shogun]

how would i go about controlling the number of trades per day that a .efs strategy will do. so if for instance it was a breakout of the 7.00 and 8.00 am time period with the stop at the opposite end of the bar, if the stop is hit the strategy will not enter another trade until the next day,

hope this makes sense,

One way could be as in the following example
Alex

var vCntr = 1;

function main(){

if(getDay(0)!=getDay(-1){
vCntr = 1;
}

if(vCntr<=1 && your other conditions==true){
your strategy commands here;
vCntr ++;
}

thanks alex that has done the job fine,

1/ what does vCntr ++; mean, i have seen the ++ in other .efs strategies but do not yet know how to use it.

2/ also it is not required but might be useful for future reference for me, is it possible to allow 2 trades per day ,

vCntr ++; simply increments the value by 1. You could also write it as vCntr +=1;
To allow 2 trades a day replace the value 1 with 2 in the following line
if(vCntr<=1 && your other conditions==true){
