Check if last trade was a winner/loser

[martinboye]

Hello,

Can anyone help me create a rule that checks if the previous trade was a winner or a loser?

I am testing a strategy where I am only allowed to place a trade if the previous trade was a loser, and it would be great if I could fully automate the backtest.

Cheers,
Martin

Could the Order profit, under Default Rules and Order Information be used to compare to a + or - value to see if it was a win or loss?
