Hello,

When I am working on various AMM scripts, I often use the same logic. So I place them in functions.

I usually place those functions under the "Global" Tab. Is that the best place to define a function? If yes, can I avoid passing Portfolio, Data, Orders and other objects to the function?

An example: I created a function that re-balances to target percent of equity. In the Globals Tab I had to pass all these objects:

public void orderTargetPercent(MMPortfolio Portfolio, MMData Data,MMOnEndPeriod Functions,MMOrders Orders, string symbol, double percent)
{...
}

Is this a good way to do this?

Thanks

Yes, it is better to place them under "Global" tab.

You should of course only pass variables that are needed by the function.

To avoid passing these variables to the function, you can do the following:

[GLOBAL]
MMPortfolio portfolio;

public void orderTargetPercent(MMPortfolio Portfolio, string symbol, double percent)
{
}

[OnEndPeriod]
portfolio = Portfolio;
