Max position size

  Hello.

   

  I have an ongoing auto trade on Spot Gold 2 min chart.

   

  When I start the auto trade I am asked the max position size I want. I set it for 2.

  I buy 1 contract in the code. The code buys 1 contract. Sometimes it does not reach the sell condition and it falls back and reaches the buy conditions I set one more time. Now the price may be lower than the buying price on the first contract I bought earlier.

   

  How can I now buy one new contract even though I already have one?

  If you want to add another position, while you are already on market, just set this line to true:

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = true

  1	DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = true

  Now the system will know you allow it to have more than 1 order on market.

  The max position size you set when you launch a strategy with ProOrder will ALWAYS be a priority to what you have coded as max positions/orders in your script.

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False

   

  say maximum position size “2” amount/pt

   

  does it mean maximum points or amount should be open max at any given point time

  if the program conditions are met any it will keep open  a maximum of 2 points or amount
