[How to set a max daily loss in PRT ProOrder, and position sizing]

Hi Nickodemus,

Yes you can do both with a small amount of code.  You can also limit the amount trades and risk the algo can do in a given period.

I code many algo's and use them on a daily basis so happy to help if you haven't already sort.  It is best to use the PRT community as this is where all the cders reside.  DM me on that and I am happy to share some code.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the tip - I can't figure out how to DM you on here... (historically not a big forum user), but I'd be very grateful for specifics on how to achieve what you're suggesting with the code. I have also now joined the PRT forum (under the same username)

 

Many thanks

[How to set a max daily loss in PRT ProOrder, and position sizing]

Hi,

Is there a way to set a max daily loss in automated trading with PRT ProOrder?  i.e. Automate the strategy, but kill it each day if cumulative daily losses hit % of equity.

 

Also, struggling to work out how to set a position size based on % of available equity?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated - the 'programming' seems very limited in it's functions compared with the likes of Pine. (Or maybe i'm just being ignorant...)

 

Many thanks

I've just realised about the 'Enable ProOrder' part of the settings in IG. I've now enabled it.

Hi,

Two questions, actually (related to Spread Betting with IG):

1. Is ProRealTime the best way of triggering automatic trading with IG?
2. I'm trying to get up and running with PRT, and it looks like IG offer the standard version at no extra cost, however, you need to have the Premium version to use ProOrder and create trading systems for automatic trading..... is there a way to upgrade through IG, or do I just have to go for the full ticket price?

Cheers.

[How to show executions on the charts?]

Hi,

Is there a way to show my executions on the charts in IG? It'd be incredibly useful...!

Also, is it possible to add VWAP onto the charts?

Cheers.
