[amibroker] Need help with PositionSize using an optimization for ATR

 

I run a strategy that uses 11 inverse funds.  I want to tweak it to adapt to each inverse funds' change in volatility (to increase or decrease my position sizes each buy).  I'm a novice at Amibroker afl and am trying to understand how to do this via ATR.  The trick is I am not scanning a list of symbols for candidates.  I have specific rules for each individual symbol I use.  Here is some sample code in my strategy.


if( n == "DXKSX" )

{

    //Strategy 3 US Gov Bear 10-Year 2X (Direxion)

>>>INDIVIDUAL RULES GO HERE<<<


PositionSize = -25;

}


if( n == "RRPIX" )

{

    //Strategy 8 ProFunds Rising Rates US Gov 30 Bond 1.25X// 

>>INDIVIDUAL RULES GO HERE<<<


PositionSize = -40;

}


How do I use ATR for position size?  Do I need to optimize each symbol individually and then insert that afl code into the above strategy?


Thanks so much.  As I said, I'm an idea person, not a programmer.  I just want to be able to optimize the best way to increase or decrease position size as each symbols' volatility changes.


You guys are the best!
