F2 and F3 include percent to adjust lotsize automacally

#1 Postby leif » Mon Apr 28, 2014 1:40 pm

It would be nice to have a way to test with percent of equity pr trade.
Just put it as a new window at the right side of the lotsize window.
Letting the stoploss size automaticly regulate the lotsize both for market and pending orders.

Hello,

We will think about this suggestion and maybe we will implement it in next versions of the program.

For now you or programmer can create a script which will do this job for you. So you will be able to open orders and risk some percent of equity per trade.
If you need programmer's help you can write to our programmer by email services@forextester.com so he can check if it easy to create such script for Forex Tester.

I found a table under the options/trade tab.
I can use that for now, but it is only 10 settings each way, so the size would not be totally exact,
and I will have to update it manually, but I guess that it will do for now.
So I will try that out first and come back to you later.
Thanks for considering it in the next version!

Sincerely

Did this feature ever make it into the program?

How do I define the lot size to use in testing?
