Re: [amibroker] using POSITIONSCORE and margin requirement

["Gary A. Serkhoshian" <serkhoshian777@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
 
I thought the same thing, but found the solution sitting right in front of me.
 
 
Margin  = Param("Margin 100 = No Margin",100, 50, 100, 5); SetOption("MarginRequirement", Margin);//100 = no margin MaxPos = Param("Max Open Positions", 5, 1, 10, 1);
SetOption("MaxOpenPositions", MaxPos);
 
PositionSize = (-10000/Margin) / MaxPos;
 
 
Now you can incorporate margin into your portfolio trading system.
 
Regards,

    I am unclear as to the relationship POSITIONSCORE and the margin requirement in the anaylsis settings box. From reading about the use of POSITIONSCORE in the help pages it seems that if the number of buy siganls exceeds the max number of open positions or available funds the POSIIIONSCORE is used to rank which buy signals will actually be executed.  However from testing this it seems the available funds DOES NOT take into account what the magin requirement is. It only looks at the equity size of the portfolio.    Am I correct in thinking this?    If so, how can one test the portfolio results of a margin account?Check AmiBroker web page at:http://www.amibroker.com/Check group FAQ at: <A
