Question is pretty simple and I'm sure it takes two minutes to write the code, but I'm novice in Ninja programming so please help

I need a code to give me the number of strings of winning trades and the number of strings of losing trades in trades executed by my strategy.

Thank you

numberOfTrades = systemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.TradesCount;


for ( int n = 0; n < numberOfTrades; n++ )
{
Trade myTrade = systemPerformance.AllTrades[n].ProfitCurrency;
Trade myTradeBefore = systemPerformance.AllTrades[n-1].ProfitCurrency;


if ( myTrade < 0 && myTradeBefore > 0 );
{
numberOfLosingStrings++;
}

if ( myTrade > 0 && myTradeBefore < 0 )
{
numberOfWinningStrings++;

return numberOfLosingStrings;

By "number of strings" do you mean consecutive winners and losers? You can use the TradesPerformance objects MaxConsecXxx.

int myStringOfLosers = Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.MaxConsecLoser;
int myStringOfWinners = Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.MaxConsecWinner;

if trades look like this.... "+" is winner and "-" is loser

++ -- ++++ -- ++++++

there would be three strings of winners and two strings of losers. i'm not looking for max consecutive winners but for number of positive consecutive trades

So basically you would look at the last trade result.

If winner, then increment your _consecutivewinners variable and if a loser then reset your _consecutivewinners variable to 0.
