Okay, so I’ve searched the reference section for any variable that might add a position size / number of shares column to the Exploration output. All I’ve found so far is the “Differences” documentation topic, which disappointingly says “Do not use the PositionSize varible.”
How would I get the number of shares bought / sold—and or the total value of the trade—in the table?
Thanks!
Hello,
the old, not implemented PositionSize variable and its new incarnation SetPositionSize serves to set-up a desired position size.
The actual position size is determined from this setup (and other parameters like RoundLotSize) and from the current buying power in Backtest.
There is no way to get it in Exploration.
