The
inability to add to positions in AB and MetaStock has been a frustration for a
lot of us over the years.

After
reading some of the posts on this recent thread, I had an idea that might
help. If it was really important to me to be able to test such
an idea, I would try creating pseudo-instruments. For ease of
describing what I'm talking about, I'll use IBM as an example. By
the way, this approach could be tedious for stocks, but I get the impression
that the original person raising the issue was interested in
futures. Cotinuing with my example of IBM, I could create a new
ticker called "IBMx1" that I could use the first time that I wanted to add to a
position. I could have another (IBMx2) for the next addition,
etc. You could even set commissions/slippage to zero within
the AFL for such tickers.

I
haven't thought it all the way through and I don't really have time to get into
it right now. But perhaps someone else can take it from
here?

Re: adding to positions in Stocks
You can increase or decrease the size of each
position before it is initiated, but not during a trade. For anything. Not
yet.
You could write a dll for the capability but it
would be difficult to keep the separate trades organized. After you decided to
increase/decrease a position while you were in a trade, which
contracts/equities would buy/sell first? When? In what order? According to
what schedule?
