Account Size Required formula

Account. size required=MinCloseToCloseDrawDown + Margin * MaxNumContractsHeld.
Thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9829

The above formula in Strategy Analysis is not working as described. All it seems to calc is: Account. size required=MinCloseToCloseDrawDown

I set Mt Margin $ in QM, Maximum shares/contracts to #, restated MC. What am I doing wrong.?

Hello StefanoSF,

You are referring to an outdated topic. Please refer to the current description in the report window that says: Account. size required=MinCloseToCloseDrawDown.

Hello StefanoSF,

: Account. size required=MinCloseToCloseDrawDown.

Hi Henry,

As "Account Size Required" is currently formulated it adds zero value as an account required measuring formula/tool. No account can ever survive if it's required account size is equal to its max close to close DD.

There must be a better formula for this. Here is one suggestion:

Account. size required= (Margin * MaxNumContractsHeld) + Max Strategy DD

StefanoSF, thank you for your suggestion. All feature requests are forwarded to the management of the company and are evaluated in a timely manner. Please note that even though we value your opinion not all requests can be implemented due to the fact that some features do not fit into our current roadmap.

You should be able to perform the calculation you need in the code directly: (Margin * MaxContractsHeld) + MaxIDDrawDown.
