How can I change number of lots in Ninjatrader strategy generated by Strategy Quant?  While I can set number of lots in SQ strategy options when generating a strategy, I often need to adjust this amount when trading in Ninjatrader.  There is no entry for number of lots in Ninjatrader strategy options.  I also don’t see a number of lots specified in Ninjatrader strategy code.  Do I need to add custom code to define number of lots?  If so what would it be for stop/limit orders?  I attached an example of Ninjatrader strategy and Strategy Quant source code.

SQ strategies for NinjaTrader trade with DefaultQuantity, which is usually 1.

 

You can edit this number in the code in Initialize() method, you can add a line there:

 

DefaultQuantity = 2;

 

It is also possible to change Order Properties parameter of the strategy, there you can too change default quantity or use account size to compute quantity.

Thanks, Mark.  Could you post an example of 1) default quantity change in Order Properties and 2) using account size to compute quantity?
