Hi I would like to know how to set the qty of trades that a strategy can make.

Hello henryd333,

Thank you for your post.

You would be able to set the quantity of an order placed by a strategy using the 'quantity' parameter when calling something like EnterLong()/EnterShort().

EnterLong(int quantity, string signalName)

A good example of this could be seen using the Strategy Builder. Open a New > Strategy Builder window, navigate to the Conditions and Actions screen, click 'add' in the Actions section, open the Order Management folder, select 'Enter long position', then set the quantity using the Quantity field, and click OK. You could then view the code that places a long entry order with a specified quantity by clicking the 'View code' button.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

Hi

I meant to limit the trades per day.

Hello henryd333,

Thank you for your note.

Please refer to the SampleTradeLimiter example in the Help Guide linked below which demonstrates:

• Resetting a variable at the beginning of a new trading session
• Limiting the number of trades a strategy can make per trading session
