Risk Templates

[jg123]

Hello

Creating Risk Templates for Spot Currency:

Do I enter based on a full lot of 100,000 units? So, for example, if the AUDCAD has a 3% margin requirement, do I type in 3,000 or do I put in the percentage of the margin requirement?

The help guide shows 500 for the ES which is the margin requirement per contract - so I assume it is the dollar amount. But, of course, in FX one can do much smaller than a standard contract. So how would I enter that into the templates?

Thank you for your help

Hello,

Quantity should not come into play in Risk Templates, other than the Max Order Size and Max Position Size fields. When it comes to Margin, you will need to enter a dollar amount, just like the pre-built NinjaTrader Brokerage template. This dollar amount will apply regardless of the quantities you are trading in any asset.
