AFL for Adjusting transaction value criteria based on equity

[hansmahardi]

Hi guys, I’m new here.

I’m trying to find how to adjust transaction value criteria based on my equity.

For example:

I start with $1.000 equity, then I would set my criteria to enter trade stocks with minimum transaction value of $10.000.

As time goes by, my equity grows to $10.000, then I want to set my my criteria to enter trade stocks with minimum transaction value of $100.000.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance

Carefully read the manual

You should specify your position size as percent of equity. AFL Function Reference - SETPOSITIONSIZE

Doing so automatically takes into account current equity.

BTW: your post must contain an error because Stocks can't be usually traded with 10x leverage. Typical margin for stock account is 50% (2x leverage).

Besides $1000 is way too low to open margin account.

FINRA rules say $2000 is minimum margin requirement to be paid in cash before purchasing security on margin: Brokerage Accounts

If you meant futures instead you should read the manual about backtesting futures:
