Maximum trades per day

Hi there!

I’m working on an EA. Is there a way to limit the number of trades it can open per day?

In the “Trading Options” settings, I’ve set “Maximum trades per day = 2”. It works correctly in the MT5 Strategy Tester, but not in live trading — the EA keeps opening multiple trades when the price is ranging.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thank you!

This is supposed to work in live trading as well. I will test it and let you know

No worries! I just found out the option “Allow duplicate trades” was enabled (I though it wasn’t jej)

Thanks!

it works for me well as I have tested. Do you have the issue with a single strategy or many?

Hi everyone,

I’m creating an EA for MT5 that opens buy and sell trades. I’ve successfully limited the trading time and that part works fine, but I’m having trouble limiting the number of trades within that time window.

In backtesting it works as expected, but in live trading it doesn’t. I set the maximum number of entries per day to two, yet on some days it has entered up to six trades. I’ve already checked that duplicate trades are not enabled, and I even added a condition to allow only one open trade at a time, but it still doesn’t work.

Any ideas or suggestions on what might be causing this?
