Hello,

I have some difficulties to use the variable RiskVal. It works as expected for a simple 1 lot entry/Exit system, but with a more complex system with multiple entry conditions and part Exit it does not. It seems to be a summation of all risks (open and closed). Even when there ist no open trade the risk in nonzero.
Therefore i tried to use a for(open_trades) command. I copied the second example from the manual (Sum of Open profits) into my script - Without modifications. The Script crashs with error111.
Both problems occur in Zorro 1.34 and 1.4.
Question: can anyone explain this behaviour? Hopefully someone can help me to solve these problems.

Regards, Opentrades

Here is an example script based on the Luxor example script.

The commented out entry condition cause an error of the for(open_trades) loop. The TradeProfit keyword cause this error. Why?
The riskVal increases in this example code. Why?
Any comment is appreciated. Thanks.

script:
// Luxor system by Jaeckle/Tomasini /////////////
// Make a system profitable by creative selection
// of start and end date

function run()
{
StartDate = 2004;
EndDate = 2015;
BarPeriod = 30;
LookBack = 30;
asset("GBP/USD");

// no trade costs...
Spread = 0;
Slippage = 0;
RollLong = RollShort = 0;

vars Price = series(priceClose()),
Fast = series(SMA(Price,3)),
Slow = series(SMA(Price,30));

static var BuyLimit,SellLimit,BuyStop,SellStop;

if(crossOver(Fast,Slow)) {
BuyStop = priceHigh() + 1*PIP;
BuyLimit = priceHigh() + 5*PIP;
}
if(crossUnder(Fast,Slow)) {
SellStop = priceLow() - 1*PIP;
SellLimit = priceLow() - 5*PIP;
}

if(!NumOpenLong && Fast[0] > Slow[0] && Price[0] < BuyLimit)
enterLong(2,BuyStop,2*ATR(20));
// if(TradeProfit>0&&NumOpenLong>0 && Fast[0] > Slow[0] && Price[0] < BuyLimit)
// enterLong(2,BuyStop,2*ATR(20));
if(!NumOpenShort && Fast[0] < Slow[0] && Price[0] > SellLimit)
exitLong(0,0,1);
if(NumOpenLong>3 && Fast[0] < Slow[0] && Price[0] > SellLimit)
exitLong();
var val = 0;
string CurrentAsset = Asset;
for(open_trades)
if(strstr(Asset,CurrentAsset) && TradeIsOpen && !TradeIsPhantom)
val += TradeResult;


PlotWidth = 1000;
PlotBars = 800; // plot all
plot("Risk", RiskVal,NEW,GREEN);
plot("nLong", NumOpenLong,NEW,GREEN);
plot("value", val,NEW,GREEN);
}

Thanks for the info. I believe you've found a bug with RiskVal. It does not calculate the risk of partially closed trades. I'll put up a notice for the developers to fix this for the next update.

Until then you need indeed a for(open_trades) loop for calculating the current risk. I can't see an obvious bug in the manual example, though. So your crash might have a different reason. The code you've posted doesn't crash here.
