Code maximum number of positions

David Thompson · 2019-02-04T18:00:57+00:00

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

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?

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
