think i am too close to this one and perhaps not seeing it, so could use some help.
running an auto strategy through ninjatrader and IB
assume account size or buying power is $100 000
assume i want to always maintain 30% cash, so in other words should not trade below $30 000
if gets below this level system does not allow new trades, however, once existing trades close out and is above this level again new trades will enter.
this is happening constantly and i am doing a check against this level every 10 seconds, so looking for an effective way to manage this situation.
problem i am getting is that while new trades are not allowed to enter they are lining up and as soon as they get an entry they all do so together.
appreciate any thoughts, if any of this makes sense to anyone!
