Setting Order Quantity

[mwait]

Hi,
I created an algorithm to purchases a stock if a condition is met.

I'm confused how to set to order quantity. I'm trying to get NT7 to invest 100% of my money for the trade. Essentially over time I will get compound growth and there will be (in theory) more money to play with. So the subsequent trades will be able to purchase more and more shares.

How would I go about doing this???

Thanks
Mike

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your post.

You can use 'by account size' under 'Set order quantity' and set the 'Account size' to the desired value.

If you want to set up a strategy to calculate quantities based on Max Cash Value you can use AccountItem.CashValue in GetAccountValue(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...countvalue.htm

This would require cusotm programming to set up quantity in the strategy based on the Cash Value. You would also not use 'by account size' as mentioned above but rather 'by strategy' to allow the strategy to set the values.
