Position Size Calculator

Hi, Envid & Co., very nice work with PSC v2.
Please check 'Swaps' tab, 'Nominal' row, 'Short' column - it shows too many numbers, it is not NormalizeDouble.

Best regards,

Simon

Could you please attach a screenshot with your problem or at least tell me what broker and trading instrument you are looking at?

Hello everybody!

I`m new here and I have two doubts:

1- How can I do to this fantatic inticator works well with DAX?

2- I`m trying a crazy thing (just to learn), and I change the indicato to EA.
It was easy and fast, but the problem is, when I change the time frame more than 3 times, the indicator panel was crazy, like the picture.

Please, anybody can help me?

And what is its problem with DAX?

There is a lot of stuff to change if you want to make it a working EA. To fix this particular problem, you should look for errors in the Experts tab.

Here is the screenshot of PSC v2.03, Swaps tab, Nominal Short value. It shows too much number.
Modifying PositionSizeCalculator.mqh (line 784) -

   /* Swaps Nominal Long             */ if (!m_EdtSwapsNominalLong.Text(DoubleToString(swap_long, 2)))                           return(false); // swap_long_decimal_places
   /* Swaps Nominal Short            */ if (!m_EdtSwapsNominalShort.Text(DoubleToString(swap_short, 2)))                         return(false); // swap_short_decimal_places

displays only 2 decimal places.
Using Pepperstone broker, EUR USD pair.

Best regards,

Thanks for reporting! I will address this bug in the next version. Unfortunately, just normalizing it to 2 decimal places is not a proper solution as the number of decimal places in the swap varies.

And what is its problem with DAX?

The problem is the LotSize, is vary big, not a correct calculation!

Now the code to run in Expert mode.
I changed just the "PositionSizeCalculator.mq4"

I am not sure, but you might want to try removing all calls of SeekAndDestroyDuplicatePanels() function.

I don't see a problem on this screenshot. Could you please elaborate?

Yea, but for huge majority of users it shall do, since swaps are presented in currency form, for which 2 places shall do. Please explain why do you need more digits? Just curious.

Me neither see any problem. From the right side of picture it can be seen that price is around 11412, and (brilliant and neat) PSCv2 shows calculations around that price. Except for small position size, all settings/calculations look fine.

What are trying to achieve? Merge PSCScript with PSCv2? Please explain the purpose of this EA.

Swaps are not always presented in currency form. Sometimes, they are in percentage so the values can be 3 or 4 decimal places.

If you need a quick fix for this, I'd recommend changing the following line in PositionSizeCalculator.mqh:

if (MathFloor(number) == number) return(i);

to:

if (MathAbs(MathRound(number) - number) <= FLT_EPSILON) return(i);

Hello!
I'm learning, so I want to combine in the EA the PSC Script with PSC.
Can you help me with this very strange and difficult problem?

 

[Enivid]

User @HotPotato might be able to help you with this. He incorporated the PSC panel into his own EA.
