Position size

Postby beck donald » 01 Feb 2008

There is no way to control the size of the position using orders2go and MCFX that I can see. It will only trade 100k positions, not 10k positions.

I am not sure if it was how I had it setup (wrong) of or because of the order2go I got from FXCM, but it is now trading 10k positions.

Hi Don,

The problem with MCFX is that there is a contradiction between the autotrading settings and backtesting settings. We are now studying this issue to fix it.

For now, if you want to trade standard lots, type in 100,000 in Properties -> Fixed Shares/Contract. If you want to trade mini-lots, type in 10,000. Autotrading (but not backtesting) will work correctly with these settings.
