Hello All,

I am looking to create an expert/indicator which will tell me since I've entered the trade how much I'm loosing from the equity peak (drawdown).

From concept point of view I know what I want but struggling to code it in MS

This is the logic I’m thinking

(Equity High – Equity Low)/Equity High > 20%

From me since I enter the trade I would like to code something like this

(Recent highset close since the trade is entered – today’s close)/ Recent highset close since the trade is entered > 20%

I will appreciate if you can provide some help here. I just want to see if it is worth applying a secondary stop (first is ATR based).

Thanks in advance,

MS Support

Your indicator would have to employ a logical switch similar to the type used in the PS experts and system tests. This would let you track when a trade started and ended. From there you could use HighestSince() to get the best close since the most recent trade started.

To actually use this in a stop calculation would require expanding the logical switch to track the best price instead of just noting if you were in a trade or not. If you submit a request to our formula support team, they will be able to help you with that coding.

Thanks MS Support, I'll be in touch with the formula support team.
