position sizing using account size

[bkout]

When I run a backtest I'm glad that there is the option to set position size by setting the account size -- this way I can make each trade be $10K worth of stock. Can I do the same thing in live trading? i.e. set account size at $10K (even though that is not true) and have a $10K position be traded? Or will Ninja look at my IB account and throw the whole account into the first signal it gets?

Hi bkout, yes you can do the same in live trading, as it does not access your real IB account value - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...countSize.html
