How to scale in to a position??

[jlbishop]

All,

I'm looking for some pointers on how to scale into a position (i.e. in 2-3 trades) based on a percentage of account value....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

John

John, you can check this reference sample for scaling in / out of a position - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3751

Unfortunately accessing your live account info from NinjaScript is not supported.

You can however set a virtual account size from which order sizes can be calculated - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...countSize.html

Bertrand,

In my current logic I do an:

EnterLong(signalname);
SetProfitTarget(signalname, CalculationMode.Percent, targetBP/10000.0);

If I "leg" into the long with another EnterLong(signalname), what is the behavior of the profit target? Does the additional size get added to the profit target at the same price (signalname is the same))?

To get it amended at the same price you would need to use 'ByStrategyPosition' under Tools > Options > Strategies > NinjaScript > Order handling.
