First, let me state that SC is a great software and I am glad to have discovered it. I would like to ask if it is possible to specify order quantity in terms of dollar value instead number of shares. For example, for a share priced $129 I would like to enter $100000 in the order quantity and have SC to buy 100000/129 = 775 shares. This way one can specify $100000 in the order quantity for all share symbols, without having to insert a different number of shares for each symbols (I trade as many as 100 different share symbols...) |

This is an indicator to set order quantity to risk $200 if price goes 3*ATR(100) far away from current price. You can adapt it to your own needs. // Automatically set the trade size in chart trader
SCSFExport scsf_LTradeSize(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "LTradeSize"; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.FreeDLL = 0; sc.AutoLoop = 1; return; } sc.ATR(sc.BaseDataIn, sc.Subgraph[0], 100, MOVAVGTYPE_SIMPLE); float ATR = sc.Subgraph[0][sc.Index]; sc.TradeWindowOrderQuantity = (int) (200 / (3 * ATR)); } |
