Toggle between DefaultQuantity and Position.Quantity

[larkmail]

Is there a way to script in an input into a Strategy to allow for the toggle/selection between DefaultQuantity and Position.Quantity when rendering an order?

I attempted the following via a bool but obviously have something wrong:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
B_Quantity_Exit_Postition = false;
D_ExitQuantity = @"DefautQuantity";
}
}

______________________________


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (B_Quantity_Exit_Postition == true)
{
D_ExitQuantity = @"Position.Quantity";
}

ExitLongLimit(Convert.ToInt32(D_ExitQuantity ), High[0], "", "");
}

Thanks for any direction

Hello larkmail,

The variable D_ExitQuantity would need to be changed to an int variable. After doing that you would need to use the properties rather than making a string out of them. Right now you have "@"Position.Quantity" which would equate to literally a string saying "Position.Quantity" and not a number.



Here are the changes after using an int:

[B]D_ExitQuantity [/B]= DefautQuantity;

For the position:

D_ExitQuantity = Position.Quantity;

And later you would remove the convert:

ExitLongLimit([B]D_ExitQuantity [/B], High[0], "", "");

I look forward to being of further assistance.
