Hello, shivax!

In manual trading you can do that by just counting the number of trades yourself or monitoring them in the Order and Position Tracker.
If you need to do that in autotrading, then your strategy should memorize the time of the trades and in case you need more than just one trade a week it should also remember the number of trades that were already done during the specified period. Please refer to the Strategy Position and Strategy Position Trades sections of our Wiki:

Hi Shivax,

try something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

if DayOfWeeek(DateTime[0]) < DayOfWeek(DateTime[1])) then
begin
// a new week has started
// memorize the total number of trades
end else begin
// we are somewhere in the middle of the week
// trades this week is total number of trades minus the number at the beginning of the week
end;
This should get you pretty close to what you are looking for. Please excuse any typos or other errors, I no longer have an EasyLanguage license available.
