This is odd. The commission value should be read by the Position Sizer automatically and displayed in the commission field (which is always read-only). Did it show zero?
It shows 1$ all the time, but i know the commission on this broker/funded challenge is 2$ per Lot, It would be great if we could just input manually like on MT4/5


That's how robots work in cTrader. You cannot use the up/down arrows on charts with a running cBot to switch timeframes. Changing the timeframe with your mouse leads to a complete re-initialization of the robot, that's why its panel gets unfolded. I will look into it. Perhaps, it's possible to keep it minimized on timeframe changes.
That would be better than it is now. I didn't know I couldn't use the arrows with bots in general, this is the only bot I use.

Hm... If it's showing $1 there, it means that it's using $2 in the calculations because it's showing a one-way commission value, while in risk calculation it accounts for both entry and exit, so I don't see how that would make the calculations wrong...

Ohh I see! Yes that makes sense now! I didn't think about that! My bad.. Thanks for clarifying

cTrader Position Sizer updated to version 1.06 to fix some bugs and add a new feature:
  • Added an input parameter (Use Async Orders) to enable asynchronous trade requests. (@youforex)
  • Fixed panel minimization status not saving through timeframe switching. (@ZeThags)
  • Fixed a runtime error that could appear in some cases when opening the chart with the Position Sizer after launching it first.
  • Fixed a runtime error that could sometimes appear when setting a take-profit. (@toshin)
  • Fixed a runtime error when clicking on the Show lines button. (@Safi Ullah)
  • Fixed a bug that would cause edit fields' background change to white in the dark mode. (@Safi Ullah)
The problem with the all-white edit fields is an issue with the current cTrader version. It should be gone after the next cTrader update.

Thank you for Ctrader position sizer, it is very smooth Cbot. I don't understand why MT5 version always freeze after 2-3 minutes, but for Ctrader version it is very smooth and stable. :cool:

Anyway, did you share the source code of Ctrader version ? If not share, it's fine. :)

Could you please provide more details about the freezing issue in MT5 in the main PS thread?
