65535 is the maximum number of shares the program allows per position. The
ability to override the default number of contracts from EasyLanguage refers
to the number of contracts/shares traded for the individual entry. For
example:
if Condition1 then
buy 2 contracts next bar at market ;

Subject: Max Shares
Hello
After putting together a system that appears to be somewhat robust, I have
found entries at low prices, are either not being taken, or the entries are
being taken with a greatly reduced no of shares.
This is where the price is very low eg: $0.042. Once price runs above a
level that the code can issue less than 30000 shares then entries are taken
with the appropriate # shares per my risk defined in the code.
I have tried changing the "Max contracts/shares per position" from 65535 to
400000,
but it just doesn't work or the entries go beserk.
On page 352 of the manual (TS4) it says "NOTE: You can use a criteria for a
trading system written in the PowerEditor to override the Default Contracts
setting". However my EL code seems to be ignored!
If anyone can help as to a fix workaround, or point out where i am wrong,
I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
