Variable EnterLong Position Quantity

[fercho]

Hi

I'd like to EnterLong a

double amount = $10000/Close[0];

so it will differs every time by the Close[0] price.

Problem is that ninjatrader format:

EnterLong[int quantity, string signalname]

doesn´t allow a "double" value on quantity

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

So I can give you a proper response.

Is $10000/Close[0] worth a dollar amount you want to buy, or an amount of shares/lots

[fercho]

amount shares please

In this case you'll want to convert your double value to an int

Convert.ToInt32(yourDouble)

Depending on how you want to handle the conversion you may want to also first round the double.
Example: Math.Round http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ath.round.aspx

Adjusting postion size

if(DailyATR(5)[0] <150);
{voldivide = 1;}

if(DailyATR(5)[0] >=150);
{voldivide = 2;}


this code works but doesnt give me the option to make small changes to position size. I would like to use voldivide values or 1,4 1,3 etc... Is there any way to adjust the number of lots traded not using int values?




Regards and thx

everington_f, what instrument do you trade? A quantity of 1 would be the smallest you could trade. Even if trading Forex for example, then just enter the full unit amount - i.e. 10000 for a minilot, or 0.01M

I have solved the problem with a couple of Doubles and a double-int conversion. Thanks for the response though Bertrand.
