Hey mate. This EA is not to take trade automatically for you. It's the tool to take trades with risk calculated.
!!!!!Merry Christmas to all fellows.!!!!!
Hi. Yes, I know, that's the tool I was looking for. In fact, my objective was to train myself with this tool on historical data. So, I will do it on realtime data with a demo account instead.
Is there any output in the Experts tab when this happens? Does this happen immediately when you attach the Position Sizer to a chart or do you do anything before this happens?
When I drag the SL or PT line after I am in a position to change the SL and PT, the order does not get updated on the "Trade" tab in MT5. basically I can drag the line up and down but does not update the existing trade. Is there a way I can fix that?
Additionally, is there instructions on how to setup hot keys for the position sizer in MT5?

It is not supposed to affect the existing trades. The Position Sizer's controls are for the next planned trade.
You set it up using the SymbolChangeReset input parameter. For example, if you want to trade using Shift+L, combination you simply put "Shift+L" in the parameter's value.
According to the trading history snapshot that you posted, the closing price is equal to SL for each trade.
About this code on Position Sizer.mqh line 4391 (MT4 version) which is related to "PanelOnTopOfChart" setting:
I think this solution is not good or not really necessary I think, as user can just do same thing by changing the "Chart on foregound" setting in chart property, and some users might not appreciate an EA modifying the chart property.
MQL4:
ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_FOREGROUND, !PanelOnTopOfChart);

Yes, you are probably right that it's best to live to the user to configure via the chart's settings.
This happens immediately when I attach the Position Sizer to a chart and press the "Take- profit" button.
Could you please capture a screenshot of the Experts tab output in the Toolbox subwindow of your MT5?
That is what shows after the trade was closed, I think by the EA, neither my stop loss nor the TP were ever reached. And they were not the same for sure. As you can read, it says TP but looks at the chart pic. The trade was initiated through the position sizer, the trade before, on the same chart, got closed very fast, on a TP at the same value as later, but with a 0,24 gain
If that original TP would be hit, at 0.6742. the profit would be around 27 U$. I am not complaining, I trade with a prop account, maybe that screws up the EA. I will use it only for calculations and put the orders manually.

The stop-losses of your CADCHF trades were at 0.68550 and 0.68237 according to the trade history you've attached. They were not at 0.6893.
I have no idea why you are saying that the SL was never reached when the fact is it was.
Those lines mean normal operation of the EA. Are there any errors reported there?
I would probably need to try to reproduce the issue myself at this broker. Which one is it?
Is it a demo or a live account?
I tried it in Live and demo accounts sema issue, and the broker is "Saham-" (https://sahamholding.com/about-us).
