Hi jackhpfilerrowson,

Can you be more specific? Give us an example of how do you expect this to work.

Thanks for the reply. 

So say my account balance is £10,000 and I want a trade to use 2% of this multiplied by my leverage for a trade (£10,000*0.02*500 for example). And then the next trade would have a different volume based on the same logic but new account balance. 

Let me know if you need me to clarify further, much appreciated.

Hi jackhpfilerrowson,

Here is an example

            var volume = Account.Balance * 0.02 * Account.PreciseLeverage;
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol.Name, volume);

Thanks that works great. Any idea as to why it has changed the number of trades from 583 to just 1 however?

Thanks for your time, Jack.
