1. Total voting number. Its main characteristic is direction. The second characteristic is the total value.
2. If your strategy has two signals, one with a strength of 100*1 and the other with a strength of 10*0.1, then you should review your strategy in terms of signal selection.
Sorry, but this is nonsense. Why not just take weights into account? With the same weights - there will be the same numbers, but with different weights - they will adjust. That's a strange position you're taking... What is the inappropriateness of accounting for signals with different weights??? They logically add up with weights, but then divide by the number, without weights at all, illogically...?

Imposing your personal thoughts again with a clever look. Where did it say so? Show me that sacred scripture.
Here's a biblical quote - "With the learned look of a scholar, keep silent in an important argument."
Why can't the signal give out a coefficient for volume?
Why revise if the system works? Doesn't fit into your horizons, expand.

There is more of a normalisation to the value [100] going on here. Quote from the article:

The signal to recommend volume??? What for? Open my eyes - what is the point of it???
As a rule, a signal is rarely discrete. That is, it has some strength. This is what a comparator like if(signal>level){res=+1;} else if(signal<level){res=-1;} else {res=0;} //coughly speaking
If this strength is reduced to a range of -1.0 ...+1.0 then this ratio can be multiplied by the base volume calculated by the MM block. In this case, the comparator can be kept or disabled.
Then open lot will depend on the signal strength. The higher the signal strength, the larger the lot, but within the allocated margin.
This can be done not always, but very often. This gives significant flexibility to the system, which for me personally is important.
If there is a mix of signals, and even with weights, this approach is just logical. imho

I think you are trying to impose some functions not proper to the signal. Yes, the discreteness implemented in the standard library is also one of the shortcomings, but I have not yet figured out what can be offered better in the general case. However, the signal should only determine the strength of his betting confidence, but the MM unit should decide on the lot size based on the strength of the signal (and many more parameters really). However, this is a matter of MM, not the signal...
It's up to you who calculates the volumes. I'm just pointing out one of the options.
You need money management when you make trades. You don't need MM to make bets.

The need for money management arises when you make trades. You don't need an MM to make bets.
