referencing FPL() in a strategy (to set a daily $ cap)

[Gilgameash]

so i have this snippet of code that basically say if my strategy HASN'T gained more than $500 for the day allow any more trades.
when i add "allow_more_trades" as condition to my actual ADDORDER it just doesn't work.
does any one have a clue why that is?

def timeopenEntryy = 0930;
input daily_gain = 500;

def FPL_at_timeopenEntry = if SecondsFromTime(timeopenEntryy) == 0 then FPL() else FPL_at_timeopenEntry[1];

def FPL_Line = FPL_at_timeopenEntry;
def s= reference floatingPL();
def threshold = FPL_at_timeopenEntry + daily_gain;
plot LogicPlot = if(s) > threshold then FPL() else Double.NaN;
LogicPlot.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
def allow_more_trades= !logicplot;

fixing partial code is usually a pain in the butt, please post complete code.

--------------

i loaded a strategy i have , to generate orders.
i set the trade size to 100.

i started with your code , then changed most of it.
set daily gain = 150

i changed the enable signal so, once it goes to no, it stays no until the next day

added a bubble to display some values.
it changes color, green when fpl is below the upper limit, and gray after it crosses that level.
