Re: [amibroker] How to alter trade sizes with equity on GBPUSD

[Grant Noble <gruntus@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some code of mine is at the Feedback Centre : http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/view_bug.php?bug_id=707

That should help with the first part of your question.
Second part requires margin size and contract calculations.
Third bit probably requires understanding of ApplyStop (which I never worked out myself..)
