    Hi, hoping someone can help as fairly new to prorealtime altogether. Need code for spreadbetting. If not familiar this is UK specific e.g. if price of a forex pair is 5508 and you bet £1 long and price goes to 5515 and close position, you would make £7 profit as 7 points x £1.

    Essentially i’m trying to write a code to do the following

    Limit the loss per trade to £100 (1% of 10,000 capital) with parabolic SAR as a stop loss system

    e.g. Enter long trade 5508

    parabolic SAR point is at 5500 therefore 8 points away is the initial stop loss

    Do not want to risk more than £100, therefore position size is £100/8 = £12.50. Therefore, for example the trade goes to 5515 and you close: thats £12.50 x 7 = £87.50

    Would it be possible to code this?

    Also when entering trade e.g. long would it be the following?

    IF Bullish THEN
    BUY PositionSize perpoint at market
    ENDIF

    Not sure when perpoint vs. contract is relevant. Is there any difference, a specific one for spreadbetting?

    Any help would be much apprecited

    Regards
