Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

Daily Loss Limit [Lab] detects a new trading day, stores starting equity, and tracks the day's highest and lowest equity. Trading permission depends on whether the loss from the day's starting equity stays inside a percentage of starting equity or a fixed dollar cap. Inputs switch between those limits, show a statistics table, and set fast and slow moving-average lengths for the example strategy. It plots on the price chart. No stop loss appears in the supplied code.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
