Directional Contracts per Position
Setting key
directional_contracts_per_position
Default
1
What it does
How many contracts the directional engine opens per entry. The other engines are fixed at 1 contract and are not affected by this setting: only the directional engine's per-entry size is adjustable here.
When to change it
Raise only after validating directional performance with live fills. Each extra contract scales both profit potential and max loss linearly. Start at 1 and increase gradually as confidence in the engine's edge builds.
Safe range
1 (default, recommended while validating) to 3. Above 3 concentrates directional risk heavily.
Example
Set to 2 → each directional entry opens 2 contracts, doubling the credit/debit and the max risk of that position.
