Let's say I want to pyramid into a position, and have the # of shares/contracts be based on ATR for both entries - for ex. with account size of 100,000 risking 2% would be
mySize= (100000 * (.02)/ATR(14)[0] * 2) .......EnterLong(mySize,"firstentry);....EnterLong (mySize,"second entry");
I want to capture the ATR value at the time of the first entry, not recalculate it at the second entry since the position size will now be different, subject to the differences of the change of the ATR value.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
