When deciding upon a position size for a child account Mechanica performs a ratio calculation. a. if MINCONTRACTS = n is present AND n is greater than zero AND the parent trade is Not Rejected, n is the number of contracts that will be assigned to the child. b. if MINCONTRACTS = n is present AND the parent trade is Rejected then the child trade is also rejected regardless of the value of mincontracts. c. if MINCONTRACTS = n is Not present OR it Is present and n is zero the ratioed position size (which can =zero) is assigned to the child. |
