Position Size based on account size

[Adamdetx]

I recently completed a strategy using the NT7 strategy wizard. I am very inexperienced in coding but I am happy with the outcome of this strategy. I have been looking on this site for suggestions on some way to change the order quantity according to account size. I am trading Futures contracts, and I am hoping to find some way to have the script get the account size, divide by 5000, and then round down to nearest whole number in order to allow $5000+ of margin per contract trading. I would also like it to update after each trade. Is there a good way to do this?
Thanks.

Hello Adam,
Welcome to the forum and I am happy to assist you.
Unfortunately the strategy is for coding simple ideas. If you want to code a account size like you described, you have to unlock your code and edit it further in the NinjaScript editor.

The GetAccountValue function will get you the account value and once you have it you can simply divide it with the margin amount. Please refer here for more on GetAccountValue http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...countvalue.htm

You can check the values in the OnExection event for any updates after each trades http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nexecution.htm

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
