Thanks Barry

Me: "yes I set it to 195% (leave some buffer to avoid a margin call) and in Port Sim I have checked to use the extra margin $ to increase trade size not increase number or trades. Anything else? Below you specify to increase number of trades - I think that was a mis-speak and you meant select whichever you want, but know what you selected - correct?"


Barry: You want to change it to increase number of trades. There is a known bug with increasing the trade size setting where it scales the trade sizes according to the AutoTrade Max Equity Percent - for right edge trades only. The AutoTrade field should act as a filter instead, not scale the trade sizes. If you use the increase number of trades setting, it works correctly.

Not sure what you mean by autotrade acting as a filter or scaling the trades for max eq % - in AT I left those fields unchecked as in your example expecting the ATM method to handle it based on the % allocation set to each MS. The "increase trade size" setting should work off of that %eq setting not what's in AT (esp if nothing is set in AT), no?

And I do want to know when the bug will be fixed (AT2?) so we can use "increase trade size" in real, RH edge autotrading using the AT feature with an ATM method
