I have a very simple trading system that buys on certain dates and sells on certain dates. Whey I run the system with ZIV or XIV, it only enters partial positions. Most other symbols enter full positions. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
I have set the equity position size at 95% and the margin ratio at 1.05:1, but that doesn't help. The code is listed below.
Thanks for your help.

There's not enough detail so let's do some guesswork.
First, what's a "partial position" when your system isn't pyramiding at all? System doesn't buy on some bar out of the four? Please clarify.
1. Check your capital constraints. Fall back on Raw Profit Fixed Share, and if it works, you know that the chosen position sizing isn't sufficient.
2. Not enough data loaded? Choose "All Data" to verify.
3. Not enough capital in Multi-Symbol Mode? Switch to single-symbol mode.

Thanks for responding. In trying to better answer your questions, I realized that I had set the option to limit the position size to 10% of the days volume. The problem I was seeing was that less than 95% of the funds were being invested in trades, thus the confusing term "partial". It was only partially investing. But once I turned off the 10% limit, then it fully invests.
Thanks for always being responsive.
