Hi rollcbiz,

something simple like this might work for you:

Store the Netprofit on a date change and then compare the current Netprofit to the stored value.

 
Code
Variables: PrevNetProfit (0), StopTrading(false);
if Date <> Date[1] then
begin
PrevNetProfit = NetProfit;
StopTrading = false;
end;

if NetProfit >= PrevNetProfit + 100 then StopTrading = true;
This can be used to stop your entries.
 
Code
If time > 0800 and time < 1500 and Price[1] crosses above ExpAv1[1] and StopTrading = false then 
begin
	buy ( "buy") Cts contracts next bar at market ;
	
End;
Regards,
ABCTG
