I think you need to get it going first, so try
12345678If equitity <= maxcapital thenordersize = 2ORElsif equitity >= maxcapital thenordersize = 1Endif1 user thanked author for this post.
Hello Roberto, hello Grahal, hello et al
I went back here to pick up the idea that when the take profit of the trade (2%) is reached, the highest capital ever reached increases by 1% at the same time.
In other words
In a trading system, we increase the position size so that when the trade reaches its target profit, the highest capital ever achieved grows by 1%.This is especially interesting for systems with a time stop (e.g. defparam flatafter = 210000). Here the target profit is not always reached and therefore the highest capital ever reached does not grow by 1% despite a won trade, or a new highest capital ever reached is not even formed.
Ex.
maxcapital = 10.000 Euro
available capital = 8,600 euros
Position size = 10.56
Profit in trade = 20 EuroThe task now is to calculate for the next trade what position size must be traded if the next trade (exceptionally) reaches its profit target and thus the highest capital ever reached grows by 1%.
target profit trade = 2%
target profit capital = 1% (12.100 auf 12.221)The question of this type of calculation has already been raised here and there and also by me.

https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/strategyprofit-on-fixed-tp/I have worked through all the links above again and I have come to the following coding.
But somehow I have the feeling that my coding cannot be correct.
That’s why I’ve added the code below, including comments.The comment should show what exactly I want to get with the lines of code
With comments marked with “**” I am unsure whether the intended result is getSo please take my thoughts on board and confirm the code as correct or, more likely, correct it.
Many thanks in advance.

I think you should:
- make the calculations about money management and lot size ONLY when Not OnMarket, to prevent data from being changed while a trade is open
- calculate the Capital increase only when STRATEGYPROFIT > STRATEGYPROFIT[1], which means a profit was reached, but only if TIME < the time used with FLATAFTER, or it will not be the real TP that has been reached.
