Hi. I would like strategy to automatically change position size according to actual account equity - including unrealised positions. For example:

0,001 lot per position traded for every 1000 -1500 USD of equity.
0,002 lot per position traded for every 1501 - 3500 USD of equity.

Is there anyone with a solution ?

Help would be welcomed :)

Thank You

Thank You !!!


It works. Iam using calculation expression with formula : equity/1000 * default position size.


I have however encountered the problem that after drawdown strategy starts to leverage down with positions - which is not good.


How can I limit this leveraging down ? For example if strategy once traded 10 microlots per position and during drawdown starts to traid 8 per position. I was thinking about simply replacing equity with balance (only realised position).


Best regards

Marian
