How can I tell a trading system to buy ONE contract/share?
When i write buy = condition the system always buys as much stocks as it can buy with the given equity.
I want to buy ONE contract. And when the condition is met again at the next bar i want to buy the next contract.

How can i do that?

Kind regards
JP

This can be implemented only using a money management script.

Here is an example on how to use the money management script:

And here is a basic MM script that buys/shorts a fixed number of shares/contracts:
Buy/Short a Fixed Number of Shares
