Number of contracts per account size
I'd like to know if I can set my strategy to enter the market based on a PERCENTAGE of my account size. I saw that it has something similar but, to me at least, it is useless because what I want is for it to take a percentage of my account size an invest it. What I think your current procedure does is to invest the amount one enters as his/her account size all the time. What I'd like is if my account grows, then the percentage should take a position based on the new amount in the account.Tags: None

lgarcia3, unfortunately not as you can't access your live account info in the strategy. Using the setting 'by account' in the Strategy Analyzer gives you the option to set a virtual account and then the strategy uses this and the margin set for the symbol to calculate the order size - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...AStrategy.htmlBertrandNinjaTrader Customer Service

Note that you would have to do some programming to implement it and also manually enter your current account balance as a strategy parameter every time you start the strategy, so it isn't that convenient. I wrote something similar, but it wasn't a general solution that would be usable by everyone.

Thanks, I will hack that code. I think NT needs to address this. Position sizing is a very important component of money management I'd say. I know you cannot access accounts too easily, specially because there are so many brokers; but at least you should be able to handle that in simulation.
