Restricting the number of long and short trades in a day? MC

  1. Hey guys,

    I was wondering if there are any keywords in multicharts to restrict the number of long trades and short trades taken in a day to 1?

    I tried using maxtrades, but it just limits all the trades. So on a day if long has been triggered twice, then we end up taking them and ignoring the upcoming short trades.


    Anyone?
     
  2. I don't have an answer, sorry.

    But WHY would you want to do that?


     
  3. I am using a breakout strategy. During whipsaw days it tends to give out 4-5 trades... Which I find it too many for a single day in an index
