    Logic Error

    I'm trying to increase my position size after winning trades. Do you have any idea why the position size won't increase with this code?

    Code:
    public class MyStrategy: Strategy
    {
    private int winloss = 0;
    
            protected override void Initialize()
            { CalculateOnBarClose = true;  }
    
    protected override void OnBarUpdate()
            {
                int lotsize;
                if (winloss > 0)
                {
                    lotsize = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Round(Lots + (Lots * Math.Log(1+winloss))));
                }
                else
                {
                    lotsize = Lots;    
                }
    
    // code to enter long goes here
    
    
                // Condition set 3
                if (an exit long is signaled)
                {
                    winloss = UpdateWL(winloss);
                    ExitLong("", "");
                }
    
            private int UpdateWL(int wl)
            {
                    if (Position.GetProfitLoss(Open[0], PerformanceUnit.Percent) <= 0) // a losing trade
                    { 
                        if (wl  <= 0) { wl--; }
                        else { wl  = -1; }
                    }
                    else // a winning trade
                    { 
                        if (wl >= 0) { wl++;  }
                        else { wl = 1; }
                    }
                    return(wl);
            }
    }

    In case it's relevant, I'm using the GAIN feed. I took account to round up to whole numbers since that feed supports a minimum unit size of 1.

      texasnomad, I would suggest printing the values to the ouput window (like your winloss and lotsize) to check they actually return what you would expect based on your code logic - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3418
