Dear @Enivid ,
Could you please make option to save and not save the entered parameters in the indicator.
If not to save the parameter enabled. It should always keep the value that we enter in the Input window even we change the currency..
At current, if I have set Default risk 1% in Input window and I changed to 2% in loaded indicator window on EURUSD and changed to GBPUSD It shows 1% risk. But when I changed to EURUSD It shows 2% which I already entered. But I always want it to be 1% even If I changed the pair and come back again.
Kind Regards

I can try implementing that, but I think that if such an option is made and then enabled, the result will that the panel won't be saved even when you just switch timeframes or restart the platform.
Yes. Thats right. It always can have the value that we set it in Input window.
One suggession. May be You can make option that can be enabled only for "Risk %, Risk USD, Position size".,
Thank you, it's not exactly what I wanted but it's good enough.
Really great indicator alongside the script, I recommend to everyone I know that uses metatrader.
Hello, I want to inform about a possible error in this indicator, after testing the version available for Metatrader 5.
It appears only in "Long" trades, and in Instant Execution orders. It happens that the "Entry" label is not overlapping with the BID price label/line and there is a significant difference between the two prices (a few pips). Therefore, when the entry is executed, a price different from the market price is made. Interestingly, when you try to execute a market entry on "Short", the "Entry" label overlaps perfectly with the BID line of the price. That is, this error only occurs with long entrys and instant execution. I would like to know if there is any way to fix it.
Screenshot (In black Entry label of Position Size Calculator, and below the Bid line)
Screenshot 2 (In Short positions, the tickets overlap into one and the entry price is displayed correctly with the Bid line)
I take this opportunity to tell that the software seems very complete and very useful.
Thanks

You have to check the price in Market Watch window.. Not in Chart Window... Because Brokers makes the price difference by modifying the spreads.
You can check the BID/ASK price difference between chart and Market watch without loading the indicator.

I am not using any broker, just a demo account. But the question is, why does the spread occur only on the long and not on the short? Following this reasoning, it should happen in both
Read my previous answer. Had you checked with your Market watch price and chart price?. The broker makes difference in ask price. So. When you try to go long you may see the price difference. But when you go short you can't see any difference.
And you were mentioning this is Indicator error which is not correct. I hope you just involved started trading
PS: Open order window and see the BID-ASK price difference in chart and order widow so you will understand.

Do you have autotrading enabled in the platform? Also, make sure that you are supposed to trade that symbol (EURUSD) - perhaps, you are supposed to trade some other symbol (with a prefix/suffix).
Hi everyone!
I installed the Position Size Calculator on my MacBook MT5 Platform and the issues I found are:
1- I can't change the trading lines colours in the settings. It simply doesn't allow me to do it.
2- The PSC-Trader script short keys doesn't work as well. I need to have the Navigator window always open to place pending orders, I don't like the space it takes from the screen!
Does anybody knows how to fix it?
I would appreciate a lot some kind of help.
Best Regards,
Happy Trading!

1. Does the color palette selection simply not appear when you try to change it in the input parameters or does it appear and you are able to select another color but the lines do not change?
2. This likely has something to do with it being run on macOS. Unfortunately, the script's code has nothing to do with how the hotkey is set or triggered. It's the problem of the platform interacting with the operating system. Perhaps, someone else who is running PSC on macOS will be able to tell you if they managed to use hotkeys there...
1. Yes, the color palette simply doesn't appear when I click over the colour. I even tried to change the colours in the MetaEditor, compiled, but still not works. Maybe, as you say, it's simply because of running on macOS, and there's nothing to do about it.
Thanks for your help!
The color palette not appearing is the MT4-on-macOS issue. However, you should still be able to change the colors via MetaEditor in the .mq4 file. Make sure you re-attach the indicator after changing the colors. Also, be wary of what you change - e.g.,
sl_label_font_color is for the text labels, not lines, while stoploss_line_color is for the line itself.In fact, after re-attach the indicator now I have the colors I want to. That was my error.
Thanks again!

Hello,
I recently purchased a new computer and reinstalled Position Size Calculator v2.42. After entering all the inputs, I can't get the "Stop-loss:" button to work in the main panel. This use to move the SL line to a specified number of pips below/above the entry line. The Take-profit button works appropriately and moves the TP line below/above the entry line when activated, but the SL button doesn't do anything. Any suggestions? I've tried re-compiling it, and still doesn't work. Here are the settings:
