How to code user specific lot size

Postby williamhk » 07 Aug 2012

Hi all,

Is there any example how to create a contract with user specified lot size and assign to
SOrderParameters?

Thank you in advanced!

I don't know if the specified lot size can be assigned to SOrderParameters, but you can define there Contracts.UserSpecified, and then specify your order size when you submit an order in the CalcBar() method.

For example:

Code: Select all

namespace PowerLanguage.Strategy
{
public class TestStrategy : SignalObject
{
private IOrderMarket buy_order;

protected override void Create()
{
buy_order = OrderCreator.MarketNextBar(new SOrderParameters(Contracts.UserSpecified, "MACrossLE", EOrderAction.Buy));
}

protected override void CalcBar()
{
if (enterLong == true)
{
buy_order.Send(int numLots);
}
}
}
}

Thanks JoshM! I was exploring Conteacts.CreateUserSpecified() method which seems to be
wrong way to go.
