VOLTURON Update: New Dynamic Auto-Sizing Module Now Available
We're pleased to announce a new optional feature in VOLTURON: the Dynamic Auto-Sizing Module.
- What it does:
Auto-Sizing automatically calculates how many contracts to trade on each entry based on your account equity and a risk percentage you define. Instead of trading a fixed number of contracts every time, position size scales proportionally — growing as your account grows and shrinking during drawdowns to protect your capital.
When enabled, you set a risk percentage (for example, 1% of your account per trade), and the engine handles the math from there. When disabled — which is the default — VOLTURON behaves exactly as it always has. No signal logic, filters, or trade management rules have changed. This only affects how many contracts are submitted with each order.
- Why it's designed for MNQ:
This feature is built with Micro E-mini Nasdaq (MNQ) traders in mind. The reason comes down to tick value. On MNQ, each tick is worth $0.50, which means a $25,000 account risking 1% per trade with a 20-tick stop can scale to 25 contracts. That same account on full-size NQ — where each tick is $5.00 — can only afford 2 contracts. MNQ gives you the granularity for Auto-Sizing to do its job effectively. On NQ, the math works but the scaling range is too narrow for most account sizes to benefit meaningfully.
- Please sim trade first:
I want to be straightforward about this — do not enable Auto-Sizing on a live account until you have tested it thoroughly in simulation. Every account is different, and the right settings for your situation depend on your account size, your risk tolerance, and how you've configured VOLTURON's other parameters (especially your Daily Loss Limit). Trading more contracts amplifies both gains and losses, so it's critical that you arrive at settings you're comfortable with before going live.
Take the time to run it in sim, watch the output log to verify the sizing calculations make sense for your account, and adjust your daily P&L limits accordingly. Don't rush through these steps.
I've attached the full Auto-Sizing User Guide to this message. It covers every parameter in detail, walks through example calculations at different account sizes, explains how Auto-Sizing interacts with your existing protection layers, and includes recommended starting settings.
As always, reach out if you have any questions.
