Hello I want to program a trading system that calculates the open profit/loss of my actual open position to exit when it has at a close of a bar a profit or 8 points and the close of the bar is lower that the open of the bar. For example I tried with : PositionData.OpenProfitLoss > 8 && sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus () == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED && sc.BaseDataIn [SC_LAST] [sc.Index] < sc.BaseDataIn[OPEN][sc.Index] to exit my position but the system doesn't calculates the OpenProfitLoss > 8 , it exits my position as soon as the close of the bar is lower that the open. Am I doing anything wrong? Thank you for your help |

Have you confirmed the value you are getting from PositionData.OpenProfitLoss? We have to check but this is probably given as a currency value.

Or maybe this function only returns if the position is in profit or loss but doesn't return the exact value of the position?Could be this?. And yes I looked at the description of this function in the table of contents and yes it is given as a currency value. But what that this mean? Thanks for your help |

Another thing,I saw in the decription and this function is a double type (not an integer),so when programing this function do I have to put double instead of an i of integer? Thank you very much |

Thank you I already have it working , and yes the problem was that I was not programming it as a currency value , I was programming it as ticksize. Actualy I programmed the system and does the backtest perfect, but do I have to put (double) instead of (i) in the Position structure members: s_SCPositionData PositionData; sc.GetTradePosition(PositionData); double Positiondata.OpenProfitLoss ?? because it is a double type structure instead of an integer ? Thank you very much |

The OpenProfitLoss is a double precision floating-point data type.
