Money Management - Scale-In

Hello QS,

Would like to create a money management script that allows me to scale-in 1/10 of my portfolio at a time. For example, my trading system generates a buy signal on the daily chart and only 1/10 of the total position is purchased. If the following bar (day) the position is profitable the. The system buys another 1/10. This would continue each bar until either 10/10 of the shares have been accumulated or the system generates a sell order. So far I have been able to do this with 1/2 (e.g. buy half at first buy signal and then the other half the next bar if position is profitable. Just not seeing how to do this in smaller fractions over a longer period of time.
Thank you in advance for any help on this!

Best Wishes,

Matt

Hi,

If you were able to do it with 1/2, I am not sure why you can't with 1/10.

You can for example, use the "OnNewPosition" event and update the number of shares. And on the "OnEndPeriod", you can buy additional 1/10 every bar. You can create global variables to keep track of the different states (for example, the shares accumulated...)
