>How can I get a system to add to a position - For example:
Go to Format->Strategy and select your strategy. In the dialog box
there is a tab for configuring the strategy. You want to enable
Pyramiding. This is usually off by default, meaning that if the
strategy is already in a long position, it won't add another one.
There are two pyramiding options. One lets the strategy add new
positions if the same signal generates more. The other lets the
strategy add new positions only if a different signal generates more.
That is if you had these two statements:
if <condition1> then buy("b1");
if <condition2> then buy("b2");
If both condition1 and condition2 are true, then two buy signals would
be issued. If the system is already long from a previous "b1" signal,
then depending on your pyramiding setting, either 2 new positions will
be added (if you allow the same signal to generate more positions), or
only 1 will be added (because a position from b1 already exists).
