As I have said, all files should be inside /MQL4/Indicators/ or any of its subfolders. By the look of the error, Defines.mqh is located in /MQL4/include/Controls/.
Hi
I am sorry this is not the case I followed your instructions
All 3 files are in /MQL4/Indicators
If I put Defines.mqh into /MQL4/include/Controls I get a completely different set of errors see #479
Thanks
Then I suggest reinstalling the platform and then the indicator. I have no idea what's going on there.
That font size parameter is for the line labels only. Your problem is probably based in incorrect screen scaling. Are you using Parallels or similar software to run MT4?
Enivid,
I just recently stumbled on PSC and it is a great piece of work !
Thank you for it.
I made some changes to it perhaps some ideas for the next release.
First i made it so you can incorp and call it in another indicator and made a full hide() and show() of the panel without destroying the panel and the originating indicator with it. (Did have to change CDialog for that).
On the image, the first time you hit the trade button the PSC is created all subsequent clicks will show or hide it.
The trade lines stay on the chart and on moving them the panel is updated even in hidden mode.
The images explain the rest.
Thanks again.

And because PSC is hidden and shown instead of destroyed the script settings are maintained within the same chart so i could change the name of the save settings file to the chart symbol instead of the chart id which make more sense since charts are opened and closed all the time.
Unfortunately, I do not have a Surface device to check it, but you can try finding some setting for Retina Resolution and change it to Scaled mode. Hope this helps.
I am glad that you were able to modify it according to your needs. Thanks for the ideas! I will probable add the Magic Number for Script in the next release.
I would like to use the calculator on every chart I open so I put it in my default template.
What would make it work even better then I can make it work now is if the % risk one prefers on each trade would be possible to set to a default value.
The way it is now makes the % risk to be 1 every time you open a new chart.
A similar "issue" is that when a new chart is opened the stop loss line is set to what the previous´s chats stop loss vale was.
So for example opening EURUSD(1) as the first chart, setting stop loss value to 1.06911, and then opening XAUUSD(2) as the second, will make the Stop loss line at 1.06911 on this chart XAUUSD too. As the line is so far off the trading value this creates a small hassle, a decent solution might be to put the stop loss value to whatever the bid price is and the entry price to the ask price as a default when opening a new chart.
Setting the pending or instant order type to a default value would be nice too.
I can not seem to get the Script to run, I get the error that position size calculator could not be found even though it is visible and running. (3)

What's the output in the Experts tab? Are you sure you are using the latest version of PSC-Trader script? I cannot reproduce this bug.

I have no idea why it fails. From the look of the screenshot it seems that sometimes it works, right? Can you reproduce this behavior (PSC detection error) and tell me under which conditions does it occur?
It is possible to make some input parameters for Risk and Pending/Instant. That way, you could modify them, save everything to template, and then load this template on other charts, restoring the saved Risk and Pending/Instant values. However, it may cause confusion because if you change Risk or Pending/Instant not via input parameters but via the panel, they will not be saved to template.
As for stop-loss, the only solution is to create a separate input parameter, which if toggled, that would prevent SL/TP/Entry values to be loaded from the respective lines. It might also cause rather confusing behavior.
I will definitely think about implementing these changes. Thanks for suggestions!

I had to update the MT5 version of the Position Size Calculator indicator and the script (PSC-Trader) to fix the compilation errors in the new build of the platform (1495). I did not increment the version number and there are no other useful changes in the new files, so you should update only if you have to recompile the indicator/script in the latest build of MetaTrader 5.
