Re: [amibroker] limiting position size for futures

["kk2628" <kk2628@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi TJ,
 
Thanks for your reply. I've tried that and seems not meet my 
requirement. From the backtest report, I can see under the share column, the 
number of contract started at 3 and it increase or decrease based on the total 
equity even though I have set the number of contract to 2 as the below 
code.
 
In addition, what variable/way I can use to know 
consecutive losses ?
 

SetOption(<FONT color=#ff00ff 
size=1>"InitialEquity", <FONT 
color=#ff00ff size=1>8000 ); <FONT 
color=#000000 face="Courier New" size=1>
numcontract=<FONT color=#ff00ff face="Courier New" 
size=1>2;
MarginDeposit=<FONT color=#ff00ff face="Courier New" 
size=1>2000<FONT color=#000000 face="Courier New" 
size=1>;
PositionSize=<FONT color=#000000 face="Courier New" 
size=1>numcontract * MarginDeposit;

  Hello,
   
   
  Use this:
   
  NumOfContracts = ... your code determining number of 
  contracts you want...
   
  MarginDeposit = 2000;
  PositionSize = NumOfContracts * MarginDeposit;
   
  Hope this helps.
   
  Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

    Hi,
    
    SetOption(<FONT 
    color=#ff00ff>"InitialEquity", <FONT 
    color=#ff00ff face="Courier New">8000<FONT 
    color=#000000> ); 
    PositionSize=-100;//This let me 
    invest all money I have and the contract size just does not make 
    sense.
    Margin deposit is 
    2000;
    What I want to achieve 
    is initially I just start with 2 contracts/trade and maximum contract/trade 
    would be 20 contracts if I make money, and the contract to be reduced 
    to 2 contracts if there is a 6 consecutive losses (irregarless of 
    value). I have been trying to search all the mails and writeup in Amibroker 
    but not able to code this in AFL for backtesting, can someone please help 
    ?
    Thanks
    KK
