Percent of equity

The Percent of equity method sets position size from a percentage of your account equity.

How it's calculated

• Notional = portfolio value × (percent ÷ 100)
• Quantity = notional ÷ entry price

Example

• quantity = 10 (10%), portfolio = $10,000, entry price = $100
• Notional = 10,000 × 0.10 = $1,000
• 1000 ÷ 100 = 10 shares

Configure this in your strategy under Quantity calculation method → Percent of equity, or override it in a webhook by sending quantityType=percent_of_equity with quantity as the percentage (e.g. 10 for 10%).
