Dynamic Account Value?

[darckeen]

I read in the docs that AccountSize is dynamic when SetOrderSize:ByAccountSize but i'm finding that my AccountSize isn't updating. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to calc it myself?

TIA

Please ensure you are actually using ByAccountSize. Otherwise you will need to self calculate.

I'm pretty sure i have it set as advised.

In the order properties of strategy dialog:

Account size:10000
Set order quantity: by account size
Time in force: Gtc

The strategy is running live sim, update on close = true.
I'm specifying order size in the strategy with integer quantities.
On every OnBarUpdate() it Print() realtime p/l and AccountSize. The realtime p/l is updating but the AccountSize doesn't seem to change.

darckeen,

When you use account size for your order placement it should not care what integer quantity you place and instead always try to max out the number of shares by account size. Please confirm you are seeing this behavior to ensure you have the correct settings.

Naw the orders are going in according to what I set as the integer size as.

if (Close[0] > sma[0]) EnterLong(tradeinc,"entry");
else EnterShort(tradeinc,"entry");

darckeen,

Please use an instance of your strategy where you are not using the integer quantities and leave that up to ByAccountSize to determine. That should solve your issue.
