How to access Strategy Properties - Trade size - in code [SOLVED]

EdL · Postby **EdL** » 04 Mar 2013

Hi,

I'm setting the Strategy Properties > Trade Size > Fixed Shares/Contracts.

How can I then access this value in code?

I've tried:

Code: Select all

Contracts.Default.Contract

but it returns 0.

I've also tried:

Code: Select all

_longMO = OrderCreator.MarketNextBar(new SOrderParameters(Contracts.Default, "LongMO", EOrderAction.Buy));



...



_longMO.Send();



...



_longMO.Info.Contracts.Contract

but that also returns 0.

Many thanks,

Ed

Hello Edl,

You cannot access that value from the code.
You can either specify the amount of contracts in the code or in the Properties tab.

Here is an example how to specify the amount in the code. If you do not specify the amount to buy/sell in the code then the value specified in Fixed Shares/Contracts of the Properties tab of the Strategy Properties would be used.

Thanks for clarifying that Henry. I'll define the number of contracts in code instead of using the strategy properties.
