I have a problem understanding the pyramiding possizer

Let's take this system:

If a position has more than 20% profit, then i want to buy the same position again. At 50% profit of the initial position i'll buy again.

CODE:

This works, but i am not able to set the position-sizes i want.

I used the pyramiding-possizer.



- the first position should be sized based on the risklevel.
- the second position should buy the same amount of shares like the first position.



Do you have an idea, what's wrong?

Hi Ronny,

Switch to any other option like "Percent Equity" if you want your pyramided entries to stay Equal. The Max % Risk option with your ATR risk stop level is adjusting them to volatility.

I thought about another position sizing:

Example:
1. Buy # of shares, based on maxRisk.
2. if profit > 20%, buy the same number of shares again.

I created a small prototype of a posSizer, that does exactly this.
