Default Quantity for each instrument

Oil_Trader · 08-24-2010, 07:10 PM

Example I am trading 2 stocks,

I want 1 stock to trade 500 shares, the other one i want 700 shares in a multi-instrument backtest.

How do we assign each stock their specific fixed quantity?

Oil_Trader, you would need to assign the qty for the various instruments used then directly in your code.

Hi Bertrand,

Can you please give an example code snippet for:

If (Signal.Instrument == XXXX)
EnterLong( QtyA)

If (Signal.Instrument == YYYY)
EnterLong( QtyB)

I cannot find the proper syntax in your help index.

Oil_Trader,

You have to specify what exactly your signal is. There are no prebuilt "signals" for any instrument.

What you would do is create a multi-series strategy, check the particular instrument you are interested in for your particular signal and then place the trade to that instrument. Please see here for information on multi-series strategies: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ameInstruments
