Defparam cumulateorders = 3 lots!!!

  Hi,

  I’ve noticed that when a ATM system is in a winning condition,

  if cumulative orders are set to True and the capital is great enough, this could increase the positive winnings almost exponentially!

  Which is great if your 100% sure of your system, alas, most of us are not that good! Also we must mention, can fail Exponentially in a instant!

  So if in a winning condition, we could set cumulative order to a maximum of x3 lots/contracts and then close out at the end of the condition or session making the gains safe, locking them in. This would be an advantage.

  “Defparam cumulateorders = 3 lots/contracts”

  “Any ideas my friends, Thanks”

  If you want to limit the number of open positions then just check the value of COUNTOFPOSITION in your conditions to open new trades. COUNTOFPOSITION returns a positive number for long trades and a negative number for short trades.

  When you learn to use unknown instructions and indicators, I recommend reading documentation and some code examples, instead of writing somenhing at random.

  Wanna drive a car?  Read at least its manual first!

  In another post of yours you used SuperTrend in a wrong way, now you want to use CUMULATEORDERS in a way that is not described anywhere.

  You can’t use it that way. To accumulate no more than N positions, just add this condition to your conditions to enter a trade:

  AND abs(CountOfPosition) < 3

  1	AND abs(CountOfPosition) < 3

  abs(CountOfPosition) < 1

   

  should it then be possible for this to then close 1 lot of the x3

  No, partial closures are not allowed.

  As an INaccurate workaround you can SELL alla of them and BUY another tewo instead of three!

  Your example is useful just for limiting opening positions to no more than 1. Does not deal with closures.
