Subject : Minimum Trade Size Settings

Reposted from General Discussion thread …

I think there are good arguments for minimum size based on
1. $ amount
2. # shares
3. % equity
4. ATR mult vs commission costs

Alow the user to specify any combo of those. Then, calc the "min share Limit" from whatever rules are specified, and allow the user one more input that specifies whether to use the min of those sizes, the max of those sizes, or the average of those sizes as the minimum limit?

The code for doing this is just a handful of lines. Not complicated

It covers a lot of different perspectives. Not limited

It is easy to understand. Not confusing

No need to debate and just choose one, or have just one "dictated" to us. Let the user manage their money and trading as THEY want to.
