Returns a numerical value, indicating the largest gain reached while the specified position was held.

Usage

MaxPositionProfit(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.

Notes

  • This function can only be used in signals.
  • Use MaxPositionLoss to get the largest loss for the specified position.
  • Use MaxContractProfit to get the largest gain for a specified position per contract.

Example

MaxPositionProfit

Will return a value of 0 if the value of the open position has not increased at any time while it was held.

MaxPositionProfit(1)

Will return a value of 10 if the most recently closed position has gained in value as much as $10 while it was held.
