Thank you for the AMM script - Reinvest Dividends in Your Trading System.

Analytically, it would be great to have an option to reinvest the dividends into shares of each particular asset generating the dividends as of X-dividend date. This allows certain advantages of evaluating relative asset performances vs using Adjusted Close.
If you get a chance to post some code along that line, that is appreciated.

For this you will need to update the script. Instead of adding cash to the portfolio, you should add more shares to the particular asset.

I was just hoping for a bit of code example on the reinvest to shares as you have time.

Best Answer

Example: (To replace AddCash)

double shares = ts[0] * p.NbShares;
shares = (int)(shares / p.LastPrice);
if(shares > 0)
{
Orders.AddLongPosition(p.Symbol, shares, null);
}
