Position Sizer

[olaglam]

What exactly happens? What do you and how does it refuse to take a trade?

After placing my entry line, stop loss line and tp lines, I will go to the trading tab and click on trade but it will not execute until I close it and reopen it again, it does that ones in a while but only when I just open the mt5 first time in the morning

How exactly will it not execute? Does it say something? Is there some output in the Expert tab of the Toolbox subwindow?

Just the sound hunn that Mt5 makes when you try to take a trade that will not execute, nothing shows up in the toolbox

Something got to be there. See for example this output:

Hi @Enivid
One little bug. In position sizer 3.03 MT5. While Entry type= Instant, Symbol Change=Reset to defaults on symbol change, Disable stop limit=True.
If we click on "Instant" it goes to Pending. But If we change from one symbol to another symbol the text stays as "Pending"

Kind Regards

Good day to the EA Position Sizer team,

If you don't mind I would like to suggest an improvment for future versions. I like to position my stop graphicaly with 2 TPs, the first TP is set with multiplier x1 (done automatically by the EA) and the second TP multiplier x3 is the issue I have, as I have to move manually. Would it be possible to set a multiplier for TP2 and have it to move automatically for a buy or a sell just like TP1, depending where I place my stop on the graphic.
When I have volatility at the open, I get things mixed up and sometimes have my TP2 on the wrong side while trading 4 indices.

Thanks again for your great job and have a good day!

SM

I've been using this position sizer for a while now and I love it. However, my computer just updated and it has disappeared now from MT5. When I attempt to reinstall it the files look different. When I attempt to compile it usually is greyed out and sometimes I can select compile but then there are warnings/error message. Any suggestions?

It still works fine on my laptop.

Make sure you are copying all the files from the downloaded archive. If that doesn't help, please let me know what is the first error when you compile it in MetaEditor (scroll to the top of the error list).

Thank you for replying so quickly.

The first error is

'CChart' - unexpected token, probably type is missing?

Looks like your MT5 installation is missing standard libraries for some reason. Try re-installing it or copying over the MQL5 folder from some other installation.

Thank you!! I don't think I would've ever figured this out. The issue was indeed with MT5 as you said. When I uninstalled and re-installed MT5 I was easily able to get the position sizer working.

I'd tried doing the same thing repeatedly deleting and downloading again the EA but to no avail. Thank you for checking the error message and leading me in the right direction!

This is a weird one.
If I change timeframe, PS disables itself. I have to 'Allow Algo Trading' again. Have tried with different pairs, keeps happening.

Thanks @Enivid , it's always something simple eh?!?

Hi.. Thanks for wonderful tool, loved it. Is it possible, we can move SL and TP lines via mouse lines? rather than typing levels manually.. Also if partial booking can be made via shortcut. That would be lovely.

Yes, you can move the lines on the chart with your mouse. What is partial booking?

 

[CARPARK]

if moving SL/TP lines make sure they are editable (should be small white box at end of line), like this

if no white box, double click the line
