I currently use an automated trading system utilizing the sierra chart spreadsheet. How do I set a daily loss limit of $900 per day?

Reference a sum of J10 and J45 in your entry and/or exit formulas.

Entry:
$J$10+$J$45>-900

Exit:
$J$10+$J$45<-900

=OR(AND(AA3<AM3,AA4>AM4,AM3<AG3),AND(AA3<AG3,AA4>AG4,AG3<AM3,AND($J$10+$J$45<-900))

enclosed is my exit strategy combined with what you sent and it says it is invalid?

Try this:
=OR(AND(AA3<AM3,AA4>AM4,AM3<AG3),AND(AA3<AG3,AA4>AG4,AG3<AM3),$J$10+$J$45<-900)
