Hi there, I have been trying to install the indicator on mt5 but have a little issue.
I followed the instructions on the video but after copying the indicators to the indicators folder they don't appear in the MetaTrader editor. Its like they weren't in the folder...
I have been using mt4 for a while and I am pretty comfortable in adding new indicators to it so this seems a bit strange.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance

Did you refresh the list of indicators in the MetaEditor (alternatively, you can restart the MetaEditor)?
Are you looking for it in a subfolder PositionSizeCalculator? By default, the files come in a subfolder, so you would be looking for it at the top of the Indicators list in the MetaEditor's Navigator subwindow.
Are you copying it to the right folder (/MQL5/Indicators/)? Of the right platform? If you have more than one MT5 installed, you have to make sure you are copying it to the correct data folder.

Hi, thanks so much for this position size indicator, is so great and so much depth. After using this for a while now am trying to get the script to create orders with a hot key on MT4 (am using latest version 2.41). However no matter what I do it doesnt open the correct order. It only seems to open a Sell limit with always the same entry (90.54256), SL (90.75) and TP (90.000) - no matter what is in the main window (am trying to enter a buy for EURJPY with values nothing like that). Sorry is there something I have incorrectly set up, where can I check please?

Please make sure you are using the latest version of the PSC-Trader script (1.14).

Also, if you upgraded the indicator from an earlier version, you may need to follow the steps outlined in this post.

Thanks so much, yes the deleting of the old lines fixed it completely - must have been trying to use those values. Many thanks!

Hi recently the PSC script doesnt work. it says
2022.02.17 10:27:10.307 Custom indicator PSC-Trader AUDUSD,M1: loaded successfully
2022.02.17 10:27:10.308 Custom indicator PSC-Trader AUDUSD,M1: removed

What does this mean? I can execute trades.
It looks like you've copied the PSC-Trader script into the Indicators folder. It should go to the Scripts folder and compiled there as a script. Then it can be used to open trades based on the Position Size Calculator's output.

Is it possible to be able to tab between input fields? At the moment it is not possible - it would make data entry for my entries, SL, TPs, etc much quicker!

Tab switching isn't supported by the MQL4/5 standard classes, but I will look if it is possible to code with some other means.

Hi there,
I've been using this Indicator for a few days and I love it.
However on one of my accounts I'm getting an Error 133

The exact same Indicator settings work on another account.
So I do not understand why this is not working.
Please can someone help me sort this out

Your broker disabled autotrading on that account. Perhaps, it is manual execution only, or maybe you just need to contact your broker to ask them to enable autotrading there.
