If you do not specify a position size then 100% of equity is used per trade
Here are some of the simpler ones
Positionsize = -10; //10% equity
Positionsize = 5000; // $5000 per trade

Hi all,
I just purchased the software and am backtesting some of the published
ideas. I was using a simple 45ema cross program on a portfolio of 70
stocks that entered and exited the day after the signal on close was
given. As I go back through the individual trades, the following 2
items are not clear to me.
1. Once in a trade (no multiple positions; all of account in one
stock), is the trade terminated when another stock gets a buy signal
or only when the sell condition for the current position is reached?
2. Once a stock position is exited, if more than one stock has a buy
signal, what determines which stock gets the go ahead for the next trade?
I might have just missed this info in the documentation, so will just
look harder if that's the answer. Thanks for your help,
Phil Stizer
