Subject : RE: MINIMUM Trade size?

Hi Bill,

Have you tried the Trade Parameters tab in the Portfolio Simulation Settings? There is a setting for Min Allocation% and another for Min Shares and Min Amount. Between those 3 (or maybe all 3 configured together), you might be able to eliminate these low trades that are consumed by commission.

Maybe something like:
Min Allocation% = 1 (with an account size of $100,000)
Min Shares = 10
Min Amount = $1,000

Just guessing here. I'm thinking that since ATM relies heavily on Port Sim, these settings are also controlling some of the behavior.

With the above, I'd probably say you should have the Increase Trade Size checked on the Account Settings Tab for the use of leverage. But maybe that won't matter.

I haven't tested it, but it is worth a try.

Thanks,
Jeff
