-It is worth noting that we are taking advantage of AutoTrader's automatic 
-position size calculation, by defining the `SIZING: 'risk'` and `RISK_PC: 1.5` 
-keys. These keys tell AutoTrader to use a risk-based approach to position 
-sizing. As such, when an order is submitted from the strategy, AutoTrader 
-will use the current price and stop-loss price to calculate the appropriate
-position size, capping the maximium loss to the percentage defined by 
-`RISK_PC`. In this case, any single trade can only ever lose 1.5% of the
