Limit Number of Open Positions in Portfolio Trader

Postby robz7575 » 23 Feb 2018

Hello, I have ONE strategy that trades lets say 50 stocks in Portfolio Trader. During non volatile markets the system on average would have 20 open trades at once. When markets are volatile it could have close to 50 open positions at once. I am trying to limit the max amount of open positions in the system using Portfolio Trader.


I have looked at the forums and docs but am still struggling to get this to work.

A simple example of the strategy code is below. Does anyone have the code to use in the Money Management signal for portfolio Trader to limit the system to x number of open positions? Do I need to add anything to the strategy code below or just the portfolio money management signal?

---------------------------------------------------------------

Code: Select all

inputs: Price( Close ), Length( 14 ), OverSold( 30 ) ;
variables: var0( 0 ) ;

var0 = RSI( Price, Length ) ;

condition1 = Currentbar > 1 and var0 crosses over OverSold ;
if condition1 then
Buy ( "RsiLE" ) next bar at market ;



if barssinceentry>10 then sell next bar market;

Do a search with the keywords "portfolio" or "limit" and you will see the previous discussions on the topic.
