    Defining AccountSize in Strategy

    Hello,
    I am trying to define the accountsize for a strategy but I am lost:

    I have put
    protected override void Initialize()
    {
    AccountSize = 5000;
    }
    to define the accountsize. So far so good. Now when I open a chart & add the strategy under "Order properties" it says set order quanity "by strategy". Now I have to change this manually to "by account size" which is not good when I have to do this many times over.

    Is there a way to have this done automatically so that orders are always handeled using the accountsize ?

    My order routine says: EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "EnterLong1");

    Is there a way to reference to the accountsize or somehow set the DefaultQuantity to the accountsize ?

    Thank you
    Martin

    You will simply need to keep track of what your account size is and just submit orders that match your current account size. NinjaTrader does not currently access your true brokerage account size so you will need to adjust for that accordingly.
