Is there a method where one can trade a long short system with aox equal notional on each side,or having a user defined weighting of longs vs shorts

Thanks,

Yes, you can do that in the money management script. You can for example trade long or short aox depending on the number of shares you have on the long and short side (calculate the difference).

Setting a different weight for longs and shorts can be done using the money management script too.
Example:
Portfolio.UpdateCategorySettings("long", 60, 10, null); // 10 positions for longs / 60%
Portfolio.UpdateCategorySettings("short", 40, 10, null); // 10 positions for shorts / 40%

    Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
