Share size rounding

[Tonkingrf1551]

Good morning,

I have some criteria to determine Share size when submitting an order:

EnterLongStopLimit(Convert.ToInt32(100 / ATR1[0]), High[0] + (10 * TickSize), High[0], "L");

At times on higher prices instruments my share size is Below 1 share. It seems as if my equation result is between 1 and .05 then the strategy rounds up to 1 share. However if the equation result is below .5 then the strategy defaults to 100 shares.

Is there a way to make any results under 1 round up to 1 for share size? Or maybe even change the default to 1 share instead of 100, if this is even what is happening?

Thank you very much for you help,
Ryan

Hello Tonkingrf1551,

Thank you for your note.

You could calculate that outside the EnterLongStopLimit() method call and do something like this to ensure at least 1 share:

double myShareSize;

myShareSize = 100/ATR1[0];

if (myShareSize < 1)
{
myShareSize = 1;
}

EnterLongStopLimit(Convert.ToInt32(myShareSize), High[0] + (10 * TickSize), High[0], "L");

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
