I presume this exists in the docs already, so sorry in advance. But, I've looked for an ACSIL function to specify the Trade Position Limit (Symbol Settings >> Additional 2 tab) by-symbol, and I can't find one. Checked ACS_source\TradingSystem.cpp as well. I would do this in the Spreadsheet SfT study, but cell J66 is of course read-only and appears to be a 'global' setting that would affect all other sheets. Is there an ACSIL fcn for this? I need for it to be dynamic, as I'm specifying it as a function of the Trade Service Account Balance, and values read by sc.DataFile for initial margin (if a futures contract) and a coefficient/percentage of the TSAB per some portfolio optimization logic.

...should I just use sc.MaximumPositionAllowed and ignore Trade Position Limit, using my own formula to scale the quantities for my 'scaled-in' multiple entries accordingly?

In regards to post #2, yes that is the variable you will want to use.

One more follow-up Q on this: if I use sc.MaximumPositionAllowed to change the MPA, but also plan to use a Spreadsheet System for Trading Study to handle my orders, is it possible to write that via ACSIL to a cell in column H so I can use the dynamic value? If that's impossible, would it require closing and re-opening the Chart & Spreadsheet so cell J66 reflects this? If so, is there an ACSIL function (or other method), to automate that cycle? |

Yes you can do that by using this function: ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.SetSheetCellAsDouble() You need to set it into an unused cell.
