How do I add more than 1 contract in a strategy

[wbayne333]

By default I'm able to trade 1 contract with my strategy but I'd like to increase and decrease as needed. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello wbayne333,

Supply a different value to the order method for the quantity.

For example:
EnterLong(5);
EnterLong(int quantity)

This is my current code:

{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
Draw.VerticalLine(this, Convert.ToString(CurrentBars[0]) + @" Order", 0, Brushes.CornflowerBlue, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2);
}

Should it look like this:

{
EnterLong(2);
Draw.VerticalLine(this, Convert.ToString(CurrentBars[0]) + @" Order", 0, Brushes.CornflowerBlue, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2);
}

Hello wbayne333,

Yes, this would submit an order with a quantity of 2.
