Quantity Scale Factor

1. Overview

The Quantity Scale Factor allows you to centrally scale all Trades within a Strategy.
Instead of manually adjusting the Quantity for each individual Trade, you can proportionally increase or decrease the entire Strategy through a common Factor.

This feature is particularly useful for Multi-Entry strategies where multiple Trades are configured within a Strategy.

2. Position in the User Interface

The Quantity Scale Factor is located in the upper area of a Strategy in the Strategy section.

• Activation via the Quantity Scale Factor checkbox
• Input of a numeric Factor (e.g. 2, 3, 5, etc.)
• The Factor takes effect immediately on all Trades contained in the Strategy

3. How It Works

When the Quantity Scale Factor is activated, it acts as a multiplier for the Quantity defined in each individual Trade.

Formula:

Effective Quantity = Defined Quantity × Quantity Scale Factor

4. Practical Example

In the following example, the Quantity Scale Factor = 3 is set.

The Strategy contains 4 Trades with the following original Quantities:

• Trade 1: Quantity = 1
• Trade 2: Quantity = 2
• Trade 3: Quantity = 2
• Trade 4: Quantity = 1

With the Scale Factor set to 3, the following effective execution results:

• Trade 1: 1 × 3 = 3 Contracts
• Trade 2: 2 × 3 = 6 Contracts
• Trade 3: 2 × 3 = 6 Contracts
• Trade 4: 1 × 3 = 3 Contracts

All Trades in the Strategy are thus automatically scaled by Factor 3.

5. Special Features

• Scaling applies exclusively to Quantity.
• Entry and Exit Conditions remain unchanged.
• Max-Exec values are not modified; instead, the Contract count per execution is multiplied.
• Changes to the Scale Factor apply to the entire Strategy.
