[amibroker] Using Equity to Compute Position Size



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links



Been taking a look at AB after being gone for a few years.
 
Looks like there is still no simple AFL method to retrieve the current equity
to compute a positionsize for the next trade.
 
I tried Equity(), Equity(1), Equity(0), and all the other variants that I could think of.
Even tried Foreign("~~~EQUITY",   "C"); No joy.
 
I believe that Herman van den Bergen ran across this some time ago.
I haven't found what his solution was, if he found one.
Herman, you out there?
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,

What I am trying is really a very simple test formula like:
 
OptimizerSetEngine("cmae");

//============== Optimize ========================


StopPct =
Optimize("StopPct", 15, 1, 15, 1
);
//StopPoints = Optimize("StopPoints", 100 , 5, 100, 5);


T1=
Optimize("T1", 3 ,3,25,1); //MACD Short period

T2=
Optimize("T2", 28 ,26,30,1); //MACD Long period


WT=
Optimize("WT", 18 ,10,22,1); //Wilders periods


LTH=
27;//Optimize("LTH",25,10,30,2); //Lower threshold line

UTH=
73;//Optimize("UTH",73,60,80,2); //Upper threshold line


THT=
Optimize("THT", 8 ,8,21,1); // Dynamic Band periods


UBC=
Optimize("UBC", 1.6 ,0,3,0.1);   // UBand change

LBC=
Optimize("LBC", 1.3 ,0,3,0.1);   // LBand change


PctEq=
5;//Optimize("Percent of Equity", 5 ,1,15,1);


//================ Buy & Sell & Short & Cover Formula ============

M1=
MACD(T1,T2);//MA(MACD(T1,T2),MAT);

A1=
RSIa
(M1,WT);

//Dynamic Bands

UB=
HHV
(A1,THT)-(UBC);
LB=
LLV
(A1,THT)+(LBC);

Buy=Cross(A1,LB);// AND A1<=LTH;

Sell=Cross(UB,A1);// AND A1>=UTH;

Short=Sell
;
Cover=Buy
;

//=============== APPLY STOP =======================

//ApplyStop( type, mode, amount, exitatstop, volatile = False, ReEntryDelay = 0 )


//------------------ Max Loss Stop in Percent -------------------------
ApplyStop( 0, 1, StopPct, 1,  True,  0 ) ;// Percent Max Loss


//------------------- Max Loss Stop in Points ------------------------------

//ApplyStop( 0, 2, StopPoints, 1,  True,  0 ) ;// Points Max Loss


//============== DYNAMIC CONTRACT CONTROL =================


MinContracts=
1;//Optimize("Min Contracts",1,1,5,1);

MaxContracts=
10;//Optimize("Max Contracts",20,5,25,1);

Margin=
MarginDeposit
;
PctEq=PctEq/
100
;
Eq=
Equity
(); // Crashomatic

PS=
Min( MaxContracts * Margin , Max
( PctEq * Eq , MinContracts * Margin ));
PositionSize
= PS;
