Monitoring PnL of specific positions.

[Johnster]

I'm trying to monitor the last 5 positions PnL.

This only outputs the last position value... the SUM of the last 5 is my desired output. I'm breaking my head.
Anyone?

Johnster.

Tried different variations for "for each position".
I'm expecting it to output loop values, not single values.
Looking for PnL (Profit) in that loop.

every n trades empty, above set variable to 0, in formula block underneath take variable, save currently loaded trade profit back into the same variable from a loop value

[Johnster]

Tried empty, let me try "0".

[Johnster]

"0" gives same result. Only last (Newest) value, not the loop (5 newest sum) value... sigh

Add a shared link to see how it's all set up

[Johnster]

See my 1st post above...

[jstap]

Not a picture a shared liunk, and the latest you have updated

[Johnster]

Def. a bug.
Just build the thing multiple times... sigh.

[jstap]

So add a shared link to see possible problems. I have used FX for years, and bugs are normality a miss placed block or function

@Johnster your variable "s1_buy_newest_profit" will be updated with a new value for each position on each iteration of the loop so it will only have the last value when the loop completes.
Declare a new double variable as "temp" and put it where "s1_buy_newest_profit" is in the modify variables block.
Add a new formula block after the modify variables block
Put "s1_buy_newest_profit" as the left operand
Put "temp" as the right operand
Add the 2 together and put the result back into your "s1buy_newest_profit" variable that will become be the result of the sum of the loops.

I forgot to add that you will need to set the variable "s1_buy_newest_profit" to zero in a modify variables block before the for each position block.

@albyxx that might work... might try that later, as I went for build multiple times solution already....

Thanks @jstap and albyxx.
