Created page with "Returns a numerical value, indicating the largest gain reached while the specified position was held. ==Usage== <syntaxhighlight> MaxPositionProfit_Checked(PosBack) </synta..."
Returns a numerical value, indicating the largest gain reached while the specified position was held.

==Usage==
<syntaxhighlight>
MaxPositionProfit_Checked(PosBack)
</syntaxhighlight>
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.
:# If PosBack value is greater that the real number of previously opened positions, '''MaxPositionProfit_Checked''' will generate an error.

==Example==
<syntaxhighlight>MaxPositionProfit_Checked</syntaxhighlight> will return a value of 0 if the value of the open position has not increased at any time while it was held

<syntaxhighlight>MaxPositionProfit_Checked (1)</syntaxhighlight> will return a value of 10 if the most recently closed position has gained in value as much as $10 while it was held
