I am trying to refrence the previous trade's closed Trade profit/loss in a system.  It is a counter trend trading system and I want to limit the number of times I get burned in trying to initiate a counter trend trade.  Can someone give me a simple code sample of how to reference the previous trade's closed P/L?  I tried this line of code and it did not work for me.  There must be some concept I am totally missing.

FYI MP is hardcoded to be marketpos(0) and mp2 is a bar array of MP.

if MP=1 then

If getexitprice(1)-getentryprice(1)<0 And mp2=1 Then
                    Losers=Losers+1
EndIf

EndIf

Thanks,

David (AKA Cowpux)
