Scales lot contracts proportionally to your account balance percentage, automatically adjusting position size as equity changes. Essential for consistent risk management during backtesting and live trading.
Fixed proportional position sizing is a money management snippet that enables you to connect the fixed size of lot contracts with a specific proportion of the balance. This enables a more effective adaptation to the balance’s increase or decrease during backtests/trading.
Example of Fixed Proportional Sizing in Futures
The strategy with Fixed Money proportional sizing trades one micro Nasdaq contract for every 2000 balance. If the balance is 4000, the strategy will trade two microcontracts.
Example of Fixed Proportional Sizing in Forex
I have a balance of 2000 and would like to trade every 500 0.01 lots. In this case, I’ll trade 0.04 lots and have between $2000 and $2500 in my account. If my balance reaches 2501, I’ll trade 0.05 lot.
