Hi, I need help with Portfolio Trader and limiting the trade size to the specified position sizing. If I set position size at 5% of portfolio equity, the backtest generates trades to fill the remaining available equity at trade sizes SMALLER than the position size. I want the backtest to ONLY take t...

Hello Wondering if you can help please with fractional trading with crypto in portfolio backtester. This is based on spot tokens not futures. Am using Binance data feed, and I want to accurately calculate position sizing (and performance metrics) in backtests in Portfolio Trader. I've been told that...

Hi all,
Feels like a simple question but can't find the answer after a lot of searching.

I want to add additional capital to my portfolio equity every month. Eg at the start of every month, add an additional $1,000 of capital.

Is this possible??

Thanks

Ah. Ok thanks.

I'll run some more tests then and come back to you. I'm sure I'll have some more questions.

Thanks for your fast response.

Regards
Simone

Hello I don't know if there is a bug (and if so, if it is known), or there is a setting I am missing. I am running a strategy in Portfolio Trader. Daily Bars, Australian stocks. It works how I want it to. I want to reference the Australian index, so I have added that symbol (.AXJO) to Data2 and code...

Thanks Fredi and TJ Fredi - I have tried your solution and it seems to definitely solve that problem, so thank you. TJ, I will try yours too. Though the exit price is not triggering correctly. I want the exit to trigger at 5ATRs below the Highest High, calculated using the ATR value from the day/bar...

Also I tested this across many other different insturments, and this DOES NOT work on a single chart either, despite...

Hi there Can someone please help me fix this problem? I am trading the ASX, long, on daily bars. I coded a strict ATR trailing stop (as the inbuilt ATR trailing exit is not strict, it can still trail down). This works perfectly in a single chart however 'BarsSinceEntry' creates massive problems in p...

Hi all, I feel like I am missing something. I am running portfolio backtests using a strategy (and have not included the specific code, only the code relevant to what I am trying to solve). My initial portfolio capital is 20k, trading ASX shares on daily bars. Only going long, with zero margin, risk...

Hi Tony
Sorry for my tardy reply

Are you still getting the error?

I changed the var set at 0 to 0.00000000001 and it was fixed.

Hope that helps

Ok thanks TJ. I have tried so many things, and still feel stuck.

All ASX shares, in portfolio backtester; 1 day bars.

Hi there I'm new to Multicharts and to Easylanguage, and can't for the life of me fix my code so that I stop getting the 'Floating-point division by zero' error message in portfolio backtester. I've added filters to individual signals, eg Bollinger Bands (and others like MovAvg) but continue to get ...
