[amibroker] Auto trading position size



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Is it possible to auto trade using a percentage of my account balance 
instead of a fixed number of shares?

For instance, could I use sometime like this?

PositionSize= -25;

         ibc.PlaceOrder( Name(), "Buy", "PositionSize", "MKT", 0,
0, "GTC", True ); 

I know that the Parameter calls for quantity, but I would like to 
order in 100 share increments using up to 1/4 of my account balance 
including the stocks already purchased for each order. However, it 
would only purchase 4 stocks and the other orders would not be placed. 
So that is I had a $10000 balance, each order would use $2500. If a 
stock costs $20, the order would be for 100, if another stock cost $10 
the order would be for 200, and if another stock costs $30 the order 
would not be placed. If I had already purchased 3 stocks, only the 
first order would be placed. Is this possible?


Thanks,
Tom
