Code maximum number of positions

  Hi – I’m getting there slowly and have just enabled the option in my code to allow multiple trades…

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = true

  Although I can limit the number of trading orders when I execute AutoTrading, this number (say 20x) may be lower than the number of trades opened in the back test – ie 60

  My question is can I enter a line in the code that limits the number of Cumulative trades to say 20x – and so the back test will only go to 20?

   

  Thanks

  COUNTOFLONGSHARES

  COUNTOFSHORTSHARES

  Hi Nicolas

  I’m struggling to enable the counter.  Ideally I want to simply enter code – and be able to adjust the maximum number of contracts, for the purpose of backtesting.  For real auto trading I will use the controller option (Max) in the auto trading startup.

  If you could share a few lines of code that will enable me to do that?

  Also, I am looking for someone to help me with a project (privately).  If you are interested, please contact me (email address deleted by admin)

  Thanks

  Appreciated.  I did make any enquiry (services) 3 months ago, without a response, I’ll try again.
