[amibroker] NumContracts Futures question



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Hello,

I'd like to vary the number of contracts per trade in my backtester?

Is it possible to do it in this way?

for (i=1; i<BarCount; i++)
{
  if (Buy[i] == 1)
  {
    NumContracts[i] = xxxxxx;
  }
}


My reason for doing this is that:

1. I use 5% of my equity for each trade
2. NumContracts = (5% of equity) / distance from entry to initial 
stop loss


If not via NumContracts, is it possible with PositionSize?


Thanks,
Alex
