Hi,

I have a beginner's question on position sizing.  

In some of my backtests, using a fixed risk per trade of, say, 2.5% of the 
capital, the initial capital grew from $100k to more than $10 millions.  This 
means my risk per trade also grew from $2k to $200k per trade in monetary term. 
 Is it possible to set the position size to be of certain percentage of the 
capital, but to an absolute monetary amount if the capital exceeds certain 
number ?

I tried the following but it didn't seem to work.

Capital = 100000;
PositionSize = IIf(Capital < 800000, -2.5, 20000);
SetOption( "MaxOpenPositions", round(Capital*0.9/PositionSize) ); 

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
