Position sizing based on Balance or Equity
27 Nov 2013, 22:23


It would be great to have an option to select a position size (volume to trade) based on the Balance or Equity.
There could be two radio buttons in the Market Watch and Chart QuickTrade panels with which the user could select whether he wants to select from the list of absolute values (or enter an arbitrary volume); or he rather wants the position size to be a fraction/percentage of the Balance or Equity.
The % value should be chosen from a dropdown (or any arbitrary amount could be typed in), and that whether Balance or Equity should the calculation based on could be set somewhere in the application’s settings.

Excellent idea and MAYBE an ALERT if your overall holding % to EQUITY drops below a predefined %. This could all be part of the same modification I suspect. Pretty much a money management system that takes the maths out of the equation :)

Lot size could be determined by % entered in STOP LOSS.
