I am running an Excel spreadsheet automated trading system. How do I "flatten" (cell j29) or "cancel" (cell j27) all working orders when "cummulative closed profit/loss" (cell j11) reaches a certain figure (+10000), while simultaneously "disabling auto trading" (cell j28)? Many Thanks

What you can do is check the Position quantity is 0 and the Cumulative Closed Profit/Loss is equal to or over a certain amount in a formula used in: "disabling auto trading" (cell j28).

I have entered the following formula in "Disable Auto Trading" (cell J28) ... =(F11>=10000) and the trading system keeps trading well past 10000. I am trading GBP/CHF. I do not understand what I need to do with cell J8, "Position Quantity" as this cell is "read only." Please advise.

Use:
=AND(J11>=10000,J8=0)
