  Hello,

  when i have defparam on true, how can i during a backtest set a maxium contracts that can be open?

  In the real money mode you can set the maxium contracts at the beginning, but that is not possible in the backtest mode.

   

  thanks for support

  You can try something like this:

  MaximumContracts = 50 TooManyContracts = abs(countofposition) >= MaximumContracts If not TooManyContracts and (your conditions) then Buy 1 contract at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  MaximumContracts = 50   TooManyContracts = abs(countofposition) >= MaximumContracts   If not TooManyContracts and (your conditions) then Buy 1 contract at market endif

  Not tested.

  You can use:

  • COUNTOFPOSITION              https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/countofposition/
  • COUNTOFLONGSHARES      https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/countoflongshares/
  • COUNTOFSHORTSHARES   https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/countofshortshares/

  So you can test, say, that you don’t have more than 3 contracts open:

  IF MyConditions AND COUNTOFLONGSHARES < 3 THEN //accumulate contracts up to 3 BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MAERKET ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF MyConditions AND COUNTOFLONGSHARES < 3 THEN   //accumulate contracts up to 3    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MAERKET ENDIF

  You snooze you lose! I even had time to edit the title to get rid of the ‘shouty’ capitals and misspelling before you got here – you are being slowed down due to eating too many Easter eggs I think!
