Position Sizer

[kef01]

Hi,
I am looking for a feature in Position Sizer that I can't find after using the EA. I am using another EA called MT5 Trade Assistant which is available in the MQL5 Marketplace.
In MT5TA, you can enable "Lot Calc". This enables you to drag your stop loss to level you choose while keeping the percentage of account balance risked the same. It does this by dynamically changing the lot size as you move the stop loss line.

So I tried to do this in Position Sizer. After I put in my preferred risk percentage, I could not move the Stop Loss line. It seemed that the risk percentage dictates where the stop loss line will go, and that the only way to move the stop loss line is to adjust my risk percentage.

Is there any way to move the stop loss line in Position Sizer, while keeping my risk percentage the same?

Sorry if I missed the feature, I hope this is an easy fix. Appreciate your support.

Please make sure you are following the installation instructions:

If you are getting compilation errors, it usually means that you didn't copy all the files to the destination subfolders.

It looks like your MT4 installation is missing some standard libraries. Try reinstalling or copying over the MQL4 folder from some other MT4 installation.

So I need to delete the ftmo mt4 and reinstall it again

You can first try that. If it doesn't help. Try installing an MT4 instance from some normal broker and then copying the MQL4 folder's contents from it to your FTMO MT4.

Is it on MT4 or MT5? How exactly are the SL/TP lines unmovable? Are they selected? Can you still set SL/TP levels via the panel? What's the output in the Experts tab when you load the template on another pair?

Actually, you should be able to move the stop-loss line no matter what. Perhaps, the line itself got deselected for some reason? You can double-click it to select it again.

Loading a template deselects all objects, but the PS EA should have selected them automatically for you unless you had the Lines Selected input parameter set to false.

There is probably some bug there. I will look into it. Thanks for reporting!
