Dear all,
I would like a clarification when adding to positions while using fixed % position sizing.
If I use 1% position sizing,
And maximum position amount 3 - I assume this is 3 Lots (not 3%)
Then amount to add - 1 - is this lots or %??
Popov - Is there a way we could change this so you can select % for both Maximum position sizing and % for adding??
Thanks 
PT
You are adding percentage.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the feedback
I guess the last thing would be the maximum number of added positions, or alternatively changing the maximum position size to %
I'll make a request in the improvement thread
hmmmmm changing the maximum position size to a percent could be hard to deal with....
ie percent of what.......... considering that account size is changing with each trade...... I think that is why fixed lot amount is used.
Great point - then it would be better to define it as the maximum number of add's
The situation i'm looking to avoid is systems loading up high % of available margin. If I can limit this - say 3% maximum per system - running 10 systems therefore has a possibility to utilize 30% of available margin.
I like 1 percent, small amounts
actually a 1 percent ea. trading several of them, will give a lovely income as the account builds
