Hello everyone,

I'm new to Sierra Chart and learning the ropes through paper trading. Must say that I'm amazed by the flexibilty of this platform. The learning curve is more a cliff than a curve, but now that I have a basic understanding of the program (especially the legacy GUI), I don't think I can go back to my current broker's platform. The freedom Sierra's platform offers is intoxicating and well worth the time learning how to use it.
Anyhow, I was wondering if it is possible to automate position sizing for trading. When I trade I always select a position size that roughly equals one percent of my account balance. Is it possible in Sierra to automate this repetitive task? It's not much work to select manually, but i'm just a lazy bastard.

+1... position sizing based on account balance would be a huge addition especially via simple alert auto trading. Currently, there is no way via simple alert trading system formula (that I know of) to access and/or manipulate order qty manually set in the attached trade ticket.

Thanks for the information, User61168. Lets hope it gets implemented in the future.

Have a nice day!
