In the strategy property form, say I set the initial capital as x and the strategy will trade on some future contract. Due to the margin requirement of the future contract changing, how to calculate how many contracts could be bought given current capitals?
Which variable is referred to the real time future contract margin requirement please?
Thanks.

Re: How many contracts could buy
Hello ragdoll,
The Strategy Properties form does not have pre-built functionality for calculating the number of contacts depending on the margin and capital, it does not have a field for specifying the margin.
The margin settings are available only in Portfolio Trader.
