Automatic order quantity

[mc789]

In an automated strategy, how can I set an automatic order quantity wit the following formula: actual cash * 0.10?

I imagine that I should unlock the code and modify it with the script editor, but I need the right code to insert.

Thanks!

Hello mc789,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Any custom math would require unlocking the script and modifying the code by hand.

Are you using an input for the user to set the 'actual cash' amount?

Were you planning to get this from the Account object?

For example:

int myQuantity = ActualCashInput * .1;

EnterLong(myQuantity);

Hi!
I'm really planning to insert this for a "EnterLong" string.

I'm not actually using any imput to set ActualCash....how should I do to set that?

Hello mc789,

Are you wanting the Account Cash Value?

Use the Account.Get() method.
