Fixing trade quantity in strategy

[malcolm]

Hi,

Can I set set the contract that a strategy will work with, so that for example it will only work with ES?

Thank you,
Malcolm

Yes Malcolm, you can check for example for the Master instrument name and then return out of doing anything if it's not your ES for example.

Thanks Bertrand, if I set the quantity in the strategy, is there any way to ensure that it is only run on one chart at a time?

You mean you want to limit the number of strategy instances run? There's some code from a member floating around on the forums for this, but we would per default not support a method for checking it.
