Hello NGorodzhiy,

Thank you for your post.

You will need to use AccountSize to start a set account value. The orders would then get dynamically adjusted per how much this account would have.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

How do I tell NT to invest all the cash into one instrument? And what if I want to invest in multiple instruments and I want to divide my cash evenly?

NGorodzhiy,

The concept of re-investing is handled by the AccountSize for this.

However,. this is only valid of single instruments. For Multiple instruments you would need to track and report them individually

One I use AccountSize for example, if I start with $10,000 and on the first position I profit $1,000. When entering my second position will the $1,000 I profited from my first position be reinvested automatically? Thank you.

I use this in my code, I take the original position size, in my case 10,000 units and add 1% of the account size gain to the next position size.

My code changes the DefaultQuantity amount.

Something like this may help. accperc is a variable on the strategy to allow you turn it on and off dynamically. Add cAmount to your DefaultQuantity. Even add accpercamount as a percentage to alow how much of your account to increase the total.

if(accperc)
{
	accpos = GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue);
	cAmount = Convert.ToInt32(GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue) * accpercmaount);
}
