Re: Tomasz - PositionSize

Tomasz,

I was under the impression that when PositionSize is specified, the 
trade will be that amount if funds are available or no trade if 
adequate funds are not available. If so, the B&H amount can be 
determined.... Does position shrinking work with PositionSize, 
complicating the issue?

Is my understanding correct?
