Okay, I see what you want now. You need to use a fixed value for
PositionSize. AA automatically does compound testing and the number of
contracts is varying with the amount of equity you have.
Try this in your code:
PositionSize = Param("Position Size",-100,-100,1000000,1);
//Adjustable in Parameters
Or just
PositionSize = 9200;
//Or a multiple thereof to trade more than 1 contract
Maybe even this:
numContracts = Param("Number of contracts to trade",1,1,100,1);
PositionSize = 9200 * numContracts;
I also question your Point value. Do you really want 10,000:1 leverage?
