the result of the dynamic lotsize has already shown a "double edged sword".
1 edge, the good edge, the pnl of open trades with a floating loss -- is much smaller.
the 2nd edge, there is more trades open, so when a news event causes previously profitting trades -- into losing side -- the pnl total of losing trades is almost identical to the account without the dynamic lotsize.
But the reason for this 2nd edge is very obvious to me now, and i should have seen this coming and pre-empted this from happening.
The dynamic lotsize has result of equity not hitting the profit, group trail stop.
The group trail stop is going to have to be modified to take into acccount these different sized trades.
The group trail stop is going to have to be modified to take into acccount these different sized trades.
Then you have to get the ticket number, position type, and lot size (position volume) of each open trade, and condition your close all on the amount of total positions, each type, and each lot size, respectively.
yep. but i already have all of those in my loop. I think that i will simply create another count of trades, this time a count of trades with both floating profits AND are the smaller tradesize, and multiply this by the minimum profit threshold and take this away from the total profits. This will almost certainly make the trail stop to be hit.
i could also just multiply the profits of thes smaller trades by the result of the smaller lot devided by the bigger lot, however, i was hoping to increase the profits of these smaller trades a bit. hmmmm...
