  Hi

  Is it possible to make a MM in a system that increases/decreases contracts based on total capital?
  Say if my initial capital is 10000 and I want too risk 0.01 of that in trades. If I have a winning trade I want the capital to be updated to the actual amount on my account so that MM updates and increase the number of contracts if possible.

  Dynamic position size

  // dynamic position sizing n = position size capital = 10000 n = (10000/close + strategyprofit/close) * coef // adjust n by whatever coeeficient give you the leverage/ exposure that is comfortable risk parameter coef = leverage adjusment

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  // dynamic position sizing  n = position size   capital = 10000 n = (10000/close + strategyprofit/close) * coef   // adjust n by whatever coeeficient give you the leverage/ exposure that is comfortable risk parameter   coef = leverage adjusment

  The way I do it is like this:

   

  STARTINGCAPITAL = 10000 //10k USD SIZE = 1 / STARTINGCAPITAL //divide your initial contract size by startingcapital CAPITAL = STARTINGCAPITAL + STRATEGYPROFIT //current capital CONTRACTS = CAPITAL * SIZE //calculate position size

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  STARTINGCAPITAL = 10000 //10k USD   SIZE = 1 / STARTINGCAPITAL //divide your initial contract size by startingcapital   CAPITAL = STARTINGCAPITAL + STRATEGYPROFIT //current capital CONTRACTS = CAPITAL * SIZE //calculate position size

  But you have to explicitly close the positions to update your strategyprofit by selling or exitshorting, and then you can open a new position.
