Yes, that's a real bug there. Thank you for reporting! If you turn off ShowAdditionalTPLabel it will work. Alternatively, you can replace the line 3349 in PositionSizeCalculator.mqh manually with this line:

if ((ShowAdditionalTPLabel) && (AccSize != 0))

You're welcome! That's my pleasure. I feel great to be able to help you just a little bit with PSC indicator.

Get it! I will replace line 3349.

Thank you so much!

How do you usually exeute trades calculated by Position Size Calculator?

Manually because did not try with script. Maybe I should.

I came with question - is the position size calculator having documentation of functions? I am thinking maybe use it on my robot? I could read source code but documentation is better to read. And not sure if it would be hard to use.

Why not? Give it a go. It's much faster than doing it manually.

Unfortunately, no. The closest you get to documentation are the code commentaries there.

I did not know exactly about it, saw that there is a script button but did not read much what can I do with it
maybe later I should try. Now mainly trading on tradingview.com paper trading because not being profitable and I like that platform because of lot of instruments and bigger fonts than metatrader.

Actually what I am doing is making code to write to csv the loss sizes because the losses by metatrader tester does not make sense and with incorrect results I cannot normally backtest my system. Its weird what I am doing, really unbelievable that platform with 20 years makes wrong calculations of lossess or we do not understand something

Version 2.33 of Position Size Calculator released. It fixes bugs reported by @2TJV (division by zero error) and by @Poker_player (incorrect position size, risk, and reward calculation for cases when account currency is the same as the pair's base currency; also, swap rounding bug). Trading script wasn't updated.

Thanks for the great upgrades mate @Enivid , especially for considering one of my suggestions. May i ask is there any specific reason not including stop button unlike the quick risk?

Hi There,

Firstly, great tool, thank you and team so much.

I have just updated to new version 2.33 along with most up to date version of the script. However, I am getting an error saying 'Stop-Loss Line not Found!'.
Is this something I've missed or messed with in the settings?

Also, one one TP line is visible when using multiple TP. Again, is this something I've missed to turn on to make TP 2 & 3 visible?

Thanks again.

I don't understand about "stop price line". any one can guide?.

Kind Regards

First, there is really no place for them (except for MT5 version). Second, while percentage risk values can potentially make sense for virtually any user - the low default values would even stimulate more prudent risk-taking, the pip values for stop-losses would be drammatically different for all traders (with any default value here suggesting some random SL, which is a very dangerous thing to do).

Could you please show a screenshot of what the Objects List is showing (Ctrl+B)?

Also, one one TP line is visible when using multiple TP. Again, is this something I've missed to turn on to make TP 2 & 3 visible?

No, there is always only one TP line. If you use multiple TPs, you set them manually or using quick buttons.

It is used for Stop-Limit orders in MT5. First, the price has to hit that line, then a limit price is used for actual position entry.

Thank you for your response @Enivid . So if I delete the line it will it be any cause?.

The line should only appear if you have Entry Type switched to StopLimit and should disappear when you switch to Instant or Pending. Does it stay there regardless?

No @Enivid ., Shows only when the Stop Limit.. Great option. Now I understand fully. Thank you so much for such a great effort.

Kind Regards

I see.. however to solve the problem i mentioned on the gif, is there any solution other than writing it manually or looking for the line?

Press the "Instant" button 2 times. You'll see "Stop Limit" then you'll see the line. (If you use black background it'll be difficult to find the "Stop Limit line" because it's purple color..)

PS: Just use the script to place market orders when the order type "Instant"..

Ben, Could you please share that Spread,Candle time indicator?.

Kind Regards

I'm using this indicator for so long that I wouldn't even go to the toilet without it lol

Thanks for the suggestion but could not solve my problem (technically its not a prob but still..)

No, unfortunately, currently the only solution is to type it in manually or scale the chart's Y axis to pull out the SL line. But I see the problem and I will come with some solution to it.
