variable positionsizing

JvdG · 2016-12-07T12:54:00+00:00

As we all know, while submitting a strategy to pro order, we have to tell the system how many contracts the strategy will trade; is there a way to escape this field and have a variable positionsize depending on the code of the strategy? Regards, Jerke

Yes and this is exactly what this code do:

money management code for prorealtime

It is a simple money management code that calculate your lot size according to your risk, defined by the variable “risk”.

Thnx for your answer Nicolas,

this code is already similar to what I do;

however, then I submit my strategy to pro order, and I’m just wondering how pro order reacts to this field in the final screen:

<max. positionsize> …

? if I enter 3, then the strategy will be allowed to choose positionsize=1 or positionsize=2 or even 3 but not >3 depending on the code-instructions ?

is this the way it works?

Yes that is how it works. It helps people to avoid position sizing mistakes in their codes.
