Limit Profit in EA

[Firstian Putra Adi]

Hi, for all coders out there.

I have a question. Is it possible to limit profit in an EA. By limiting I mean, lets just say that I want 100 pips per currencies in my EA and I want that EA to stop trading for the rest of the month after it reach that 100 pips. Is it possible to code that or is it impossible to do.

Thank you
