Usage

MaxPositionLoss_Checked(PosBack)

Where:

PosBack - a numerical expression, specifying the position:
0 - open position;
1 - one position back (the last position closed);
2 - two positions back, etc.

If PosBack is not specified, a value for the open position will be returned.

  2. If PosBack value is greater that the real number of previously opened positions, MaxPositionLoss_Checked will generate an error.

Example

MaxPositionLoss_Checked

will return a value of 0 if the value of the open position has not dropped below the entry price at any time while it was held

MaxPositionLoss_Checked (1)

will return a value of -10 if the most recently closed position has dropped in value as much as $10 while it was held
